I’ve named him Julian (hi, Julian!).
Julian truly hurts as well as feels like he has roots that dig miles as well as miles into my skin. He most likely came about because of a combination of elements — eating much more dairy than usual, not sleeping enough, randomness as well as PMS.
Julian is type of a pain in the @ss, however because of whatever happening in the world today, he’s manageable.

We’re all human. Bare skin is beautiful, however so is bare skin with pimples (although they can be extremely irritating as well as painful).
Now, I like Instagram. It feeds my innovative well, as well as I just wanna gobble everything up! however in some cases all of that synthetic perfection makes me feel like I’m doing whatever wrong in my life. I’ll be scrolling as well as thinking, “Geez, I should be mucking everything up royally.” All the ideal makeup, ideal bodies, ideal houses, ideal flat lays on ideal marble tables with ideal flowers. Hell, even the animals present completely on ideal white furniture in completely lit rooms! It’s exhausting.
But you understand what? I like my genuine life, with all of its untidy errors as well as moments.
And that’s why you’re taking a look at Julian the pimple.

Both products include A great deal of ingredients, numerous of them plant extracts, like willow bark as well as witch hazel, together with potent pimple-fighting compounds like salicylic acid, to dry out pimples as well as send them on their merry way. So instead of just covering up your pimple, you’re likewise treating it.
Before as well as after!
I like the concept of treating a breakout, as well as not just concealing it, however I still feel like I requirement additional acne products like a benzoyl peroxide cream (my go-to is Kate Somerville’s Anti-Bac) to truly relocation things along.
I wouldn’t depend upon this makeup alone to treat a pimple, particularly a juicy, unpleasant one like Julian.

The liquid concealer is pigmented as well as covers errrrything, so it totally hides any type of redness, which I truly like. It sits close to my skin, too, so as long as I don’t cake as well much of it on, I can’t see where the concealer stops as well as my skin starts, which is essential when you’re covering up a pimple, ya know? Of course, you still see the increased bump — because, let’s get real, this is makeup, not medieval magic — however there’s less redness as well as discoloration.
Also, for some strange reason, as well as I question if I’m the only person who does this, when I put makeup on a pimple, I keep my hands away from my face. For some reason, I’m less lured to pick at a pimple as well as pop it than I am when I’m not using any type of makeup. Weird, I know.
As for the powder, I might take it or leave it. It sets the concealer, however so would any type of other matte powder you have around. I mean, I wouldn’t get something with a radiate or a sheen, since the last thing you want when you have a huge pimple is a extremely reflective huge pimple drawing interest to it, however still.

The powder is available in just three shades — Translucent, which I can still type of see on my skin, even when I thoroughly buff it in — Light/Medium as well as Tan/Rich, so the color choice is extremely limited. Plus, the 0.24-oz. jar is truly small. I wouldn’t be amazed if it were to all of a sudden vanish into that mysterious makeup black hole in my condo (which I’m believing is in my couch, haha!).
