My fingernails are a mess with hangnails. One finger is a total disaster. It has 3separate sores on it. What do you put on hangnails to speed up healing time? Use neosporin and then get in the habit of getting regular manicures. Seriously. When I started paying to get my nails manicured I quick picking at them and started paying attention to what I used my nails to do (like scratching things off, etc.). Made all the difference in my nails.

neosporin with pain relief and a bandaid. then, you want to get in a habit of putting on a decent handcream so that your cuticle areas stay hydrated and you don't develop the hangnails in the first place. Ok I will work harder at keeping my skin better hydrated. All my skin is very dry right now. I swear I go through water like a fish. My family even comments I drink a lot. I need to lather on moisturizer day and night I think. Apparently I am failing at this part of taking care of myself. I find my hands usually suffer the worst in terms of dry skin, not only because of handwashing but I handle a lot of paper at work and that really dries my skin out, too. I try to remember to put hand cream on before bed so it basically has a chance to soak in and I don't get it on the phone or the keyboard or anything. I do also keep some in my purse for when I'm out and about and they seem really bad. (Sometimes I can feel my cuticles snag on my coat or gloves, so I know I need some more hand cream.)

I haven't read through all the pages yet, so I apologize if this has been covered.
Is that a product that will prevent makeup from rubbing off so easily? I sometimes touch my face (I know, bad habit but sometimes I feel a hair or tickly and brush my face with my fingertips). When I do that, even lightly, I can see the makeup on my fingertips. Should I try a different foundation? Or something on top of seal it all?
My current products: I use Olay Regenerist moisturizer. I wait about 10 minutes after applying and then a thin layer of the Monistat anti-chafing gel as a primer. Then foundation (Tarte Amazonian Clay powder) and then finish with NYX finishing powder. The finishing powder has helped reduce how much foundation comes off on my fingertips, but it's still definitely there. Any thoughts? Liquid Finishing Spray or different foundation? BTW, if it makes a difference, I do NOT like a dewy look. I prefer matte.

She is so perfect in every way that she does her makeup. I want to be her! I bought a travel sized something at Sephora and I hate it. It is too wet and not misty. I will go to MAC and get what her favourite one is there on the weekend.

I would also try a different primer. Monistat will help things glide on, but I don't feel it does much for staying power. My high make up maintenance dd recommends the J. One Jelly Pack primer. Sephora reviews are great too. m.sephora.com/product/jelly-pack-P408259

I can't use many hand creams because they have lanolin in them and they cause itching as I am allergic to wool. That is a hassle!

Hi I had a really long flight yesterday and well I said what the heck. I bought a set of two YSL concealers duty free. The coverage is quite amazing. The colour matching is beautiful and my dark circles are gone. I wouldn't expect anything less from this brand, but I am impressed. My eye lids aren't sticky but they definitely aren't dry either. They are a nice "M" word without being gross. I give them a thumbs up!

I feel like Iβm using this wrong. I typically use it over my IT Bye Bye Undereye concealer and I feel like the powder accentuates the wrinkles. But Iβm a makeup dummy so please educate me on how to make this stuff work It might be the reflective stuff inside the elf setting powder. From memory it has some sort of reflecting pigment in it that might be drawing light to your under eye area and accentuating the wrinkles. Other than that, if you don't already - use a fluffy eyeshadow brush rather than packing it on with a powder brush or puff. It will put down less product. Hope that helps!! Mine does the same. It cakes in the wrinkles in the bags under my eyes.

I painted my nails today and they look really nice. I cut them short because they don't grow nicely and they look kind of dainty. (I am 5' tall so I have small hands and feet).

Hi I need some help with makeup organization. I have this IKEA plastic try that houses it right now but I can't find anything in it ever. I am not sure what to do. I have a Raskog cart in my bedroom that houses my planning supplies and really I am not using anything on it right now so if I took one of the shelves on it I could put my stuff in there. I just don't know how to separate stuff. Do I do by product maybe? I don't have that much makeup other than nail polish. I just can't find anything I am looking for. I am open to advice and enabling here. PS mom I have put on hand lotion at least 5x so far today starting in the middle of the night. My hands do feel much softer. I do it whenever I think of it now.

I have my makeup in the top drawer of my bathroom vanity. I have some smaller baskets in there to help divide the drawer. I have things separated by type--eyeshadow, face (powder, blush, foundation), primers (eye and face), mascara (right now I have a bunch of trial sizes that I am working my way through--pitching anything that I don't like) and lip products.

I usually do my makeup on my bed. I don't have good lighting in my bathroom so it's too dark to do makeup in there. My dad's bathroom has great light (and a makeup mirror) but I don't go in there. It's too weird. After I cleaned out my mother's stuff I have no reason to be in there.

Aren't I full of questions tonight?
Hair masks or deep conditioning treatments is my new topic. What are you using? Do they still make such a thing? I was kind of hoping to go to the mall tomorrow and get something for my hair. It feels kind of dry and I want to tame some of the frizziness. I used to have a product by Regis back in the day (it was their clay hair mask and it was awesome!) but that was over 20 years ago.
Anyone have any products to recommend to me?

I like the Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in Touch of Spice (a dupe of MAC Twig); it's long lasting, doesn't flake/dry/transfer, & available at Target, drug stores, etc. (~$6). In addition to the e.l.f. foundation brush ($2!, I use the Daily Brush Cleaner ($3), Makeup Remover Pen ($3), Corrective Concealer - Yellow ($2), & Cream Eyeliner-Coffee ($3). www.elfcosmetics.com/p/foundation-brushwww.elfcosmetics.com/p/daily-brush-cleanerwww.elfcosmetics.com/p/makeup-remover-penwww.elfcosmetics.com/p/cover-everything-concealerwww.elfcosmetics.com/p/cream-eyeliner teddyw - I like & recommend NYX Dark Circle Concealer, which I purchase at local Target stores (~$6). www.nyxcosmetics.com/dark-circle-concealer/NYX_133.htmlAllieC - I like & recommend L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte (a dupe of MAC Studio Sculpt) which has a creamy gel consistency & is available at Target, drug stores, etc. (~$10). I have a light complexion with cool/pink undertones, combination skin, & mild rosacea (& wear 102 Shell Beige). With only primer, dark circle concealer, & yellow color corrector underneath, my foundation looks the same at night as it did when applied that morning without any setting powder, finishing sprays, touchups, or blotting (even during humid summers & fall/spring allergy seasons). It's lightweight, easy to wear, & the only foundation I've used for almost 2 years (after over a decade of exclusively wearing MAC foundations). www.lorealparisusa.com/products/makeup/face/foundation-makeup/infallible-pro-matte-foundation.aspx?&shade=shell-beige-102

Tati reviews quite a few here Setting spray reviewSaveIn addition to a setting spray and a primer, I find 'baking' my powder on in the morning really keeps everything in check all day. I take a damp beauty blender and press it into a loose powder (I think mine is the RMC brand from beautybay) and then press that onto the areas I want to set. Leave it for a few seconds/a minute and then brush off any excess with a fluffy powder brush. You can also apply loose powder on top of a primer but before foundation. Both techniques have a potential to go cakey but it seems to work for me!

Use neosporin and then get in the habit of getting regular manicures. Seriously. When I started paying to get my nails manicured I quick picking at them and started paying attention to what I used my nails to do (like scratching things off, etc.). Made all the difference in my nails. I pick the crap out of my thumbnail skin and have for years. My manicurist scolds me all the time. I'm going to try the neosporin.

It cakes in the wrinkles in the bags under my eyes. I stopped using it for that reason. Now I use two shades of my cc cream - a lighter one under my eyes, then the darker shade mixed with that lighter shade on the rest of my face. It looks much more natural and no caking in the undereye area.

So this is a bit unconventional - but I have also had luck rubbing Carmex on my cuticles and around my nails. While I am not crazy on the smell, it does wonders my for nails. I just get the kind in a tube and squeeze a bit out before I go to bed. SaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSave

oh man, this thread is getting so long, I'm going to have to start going through this and compile a list of the pea recommends. I get to Ulta and I totally go blank.
And so many products packaging is similar/similar names it gets confusing for me. I walk around paralyzed sometimes trying to pick and choose.
So many options!

BFF and I went shopping today!!! We had a *lot* of fun!
I got the Tarte setting spray called Rainforest of the Sea. I love this! I got Clinique Moisture Surge gel. Joico K-Pak Color Theory Luster Lock (this was recommended to me) Tarte Blush Bazaar.
We had a lot of fun shopping!
I tried the Too Faced Primed & Peachy Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer β Peaches and Cream Collection. We both hated it. The lady at Sephora told me I am better off using my Smashbox Photo Perfect primer by a long shot. She didn't want to bad mouth the Too Faced one, but she was not a fan of it either. The fragrance was what got me. Ick.
