Hi to this wonderful group of people who face challenges every day. I was diagnosed with double positive, (ER+, PR+, HER2-) late November, having had a bilateral mastectomy, right axillary clearance w...
Well I was determined to not look sick so off I trotted with my sister to the local pharmacy. Im not much of a majeup wearer so all new to me. I bought a great CC cream from oil of olay (but still use a moisuriser under it) a revlon consealer stick. Eyebrow pendils to mstch my colour. Light brown coloured eye liner. A great peachy coloured blush from natos and a beutral lipstick and good poder. If you can afford estee lauder are beautiful. I also bought eye comour in various brown shades.
I never went out without my face done but quite frankly got sick of people telling me I looked well (when I often felt like crap) . Haha.
I couldn't do my eyebrows so I had them tatooed (by professional experienced makup tattooist) before they were gone. Between AC and taxol regime. Eyelashes lasted to the end. I just drew lower line on eyes and with eyeshadow it looked fine. I couldn't put a line on eyelid as it looked like someone drew all over me.
I hated my wig but did get one just in case. I bought lots of lovely caps, scarves etc and coordinated with outfits.
Photo...last day of chemo. (I whacked on lots of weight...but certainly fooled anyone that I was feeling dreadful)
Also. A month or so on with some hair and glasses off.
