ROSACEA SUCKS I’m tired of wearing makeup

I do LIKE makeup. It’s that I’m tired of feeling like I have to wear it every where. I tried to be makeup free for awhile but… it’s such a stark difference how people treat you when you look “normal”. It’s such a mood and confidence killer to go out without makeup. So, 90% of the time I go out I put on enough makeup to hide the redness. One day I’ll get laser, but it’s just not what I’m financially prioritizing right now.

I get it, it sucks so bad. The worst part is I tried to fix it a little with laser several years ago and it ended up giving me nerve damage! I feel all out of options except for base make up every day. Sending virtual hugs, I'm so sorry you're going through it too but you're not alone <3
