Makeover!, ohemgee help Options

[OhSnap]

I decided that I need a makeover for how to do my hair, clothes, face (make up), etc. Well, right now...I look kind of plain and I just want to get a lot girlier.

Right now, I have long, straight Asian hair and I was thinking of getting a perm. I wanted to get loose curls with side bangs. I have a narrow face, so I thought that the volume would balance it out. As for my clothes, I used to wear tops and jeans that were really unflattering. I found out that aeropostale have good prices for clothes that are more fitted. So overall, I think that the hair and clothes is taken care of. I just really need tips on my face.

I have tons of acne & acne scars (curse those crazy hormones) and back then, I didn't really try to cover them up or anything. Recently, I have tried to cover them up with Bare Minerals from my mom and it matches with my skin tone..but the acne scars are still noticable and the acne are seen as bumps. If I put on too much of the Bare Minerals to make the scars unnoticable, then the makeup becomes cakey. You see what I mean? Once I solve my acne problem, then I'll start to put on blush to enhance my make up routine.

So I put alot of thought into this "transformation" but I mainly need help on my skin problem I guess. If you have any hair, makeup, skin tips/suggestions, please share. :]

Hey, I used to have pretty bad skin too.
I started using Neutrogena On The Spot Acne Treatment daily; after washing my face with a cleanser specially formulated for acne-prone skin, I'd liberally apply the stuff all over my face; but especially on the pimples. At first, you should start out using only 3/4 a finger's length worth of it each time you use it, because it can really dry out your skin, but afterwards you can use about a finger's length. Use moisturizer after the neutrogena stuff has been absorbed. I did this twice a day and in 3 weeks, my skin had radically cleared up. So... you can go about it that way, I hope it works for you!

Also, remind yourself throughout the day to NOT touch your face... dirt from your hands can transfer to your face and contribute to the problem.
Drink a lot of water, and try NOT to wear make up while you go about eliminating acne... just to be on the safe side.

Once your skin clears up, I think it's okay for you to wear make up... just make sure you really clean it off every single day.
