The only thing that even touches them is Maxalt, so I keep a supply handy. Dark quiet rooms, ice and/or heat also help.It's good in a way, I'd probably be an alcoholic if booze didn't also tend to trigger them and generally make me feel like poo poo.

Makeup chat: I want to find Scully's exact lipstick color. I have the same color hair as her and typically just goldish neutral eyeshadow and mascara. I don't want to find it in a "I WANT TO BE SCULLY" way, just a "hey, that's my exact color palette" way. But I can't find it.

I've had two headache experiences that may or may not be migraines but they were so horrible I can't imagine dealing with them on a regular basis or being in even worse pain. I think I resorted to like laying down with ice and frozen peas wrapped around my head and neck.

i feel super lucky that my migraines are mostly symptoms that aren't head-splitting pain sensitivity to light, sound, smell and dizziness combined with a worse-than-usual headache and vision weirdness but nothing that's super bad i didn't even know they were migraines until i asked a doctor and he told me not all migraines are holy gently caress bad and what i was experiencing were, in fact, migranes just lil baby ones

I think I resorted to like laying down with ice and frozen peas wrapped around my head and neck. I can do it, for a limited amount of time anyway. I guess I've just learned to power through it to an extent (like at work or whatever), but it's draining and eventually I'll crash. Could be worse though, my mom used to get them in her 20s/30s and I couldn't imagine being home with two young kids while having one of those. The only reason I even do it is because Maxalt knocks me completely out for about an hour at least and normal safe doses of OTC pain relievers do nothing.

Recommendations for colors from fellow vampires are welcome! Meow Cosmetics has a ton of wonderful foundations for pale skin tones. Other skin tones too, but I'm pale, soooo... And that poo poo gives you coverage like no other powder foundation I've seen. Matching concealers, under-eye specific concealers, color-correcters, all sorts of good poo poo. Illamasqua and Lancome, and to a lesser extent, Make Up For Ever, also have good pale skin tone selections, and those are liquid. They're pricey though. Manic Panic makes a few shades that are too light for me, and I'm always lighter (and pinker) than the lightest drugstore shades. Dreamtone foundations, I think is the name. teh winnar! posted:I spent much of the holiday sick as a dog. Nasty bronchitis that may have developed into pneumonia.

You might want to look into indie cosmetics, 90% of what's indie is eye shadows, and they're usually hella affordable, especially compared to mid-end/prestige/high-end stuff. There's a traditional cosmetics 'rule' that I stick to that is basically "bold lips or bold eyes, pick one" but if you don't want to stick with that, rock on. detectivemonkey posted:Makeup chat: I want to find Scully's exact lipstick color.

I've got some Make Up Forever foundation that's a good match for my skin (super fair natural redhead) but it just feels too heavy. Unfortunately, Prescriptive closed all their counters which is a shame 'cause they were pretty good at helping you match the undertones in your skin. I'd definitely go higher end with your foundation, cheap foundations are never pale enough and can oxidize and look orangey.

I got my first migraine about a year ago. I didn't even realize it was a migraine at the time. I was out with my mom and got a headache. I took some Motrin and it continued to get worse. I had to ask her to take me home because I started to get nauseous. I was incredibly nauseous and sick for the rest of the day. Fortunately, I've only had one other mograine since then and it wasn't quite as bad.

Like bells going off in your head. I'm sure someone out there thinks I'm a vampire, between the paleness and periodically hiding from the light grimacing in pain.

Pale anything washes me out, I look just ghastly in light shades. I love eyeshadow, but 90% of the shades out there look terrible on me, and the 10% that don't aren't really daytime appropriate. I just usually do a bit of black liquid liner, mascara and red lipstick. It's boring, but I'm ready in five minutes. Also ugh, people in this city do not know how to drive in the snow.

So in a moving truck with non-stop intense flashes and thunder. I couldn't even talk and my coach was worried I was stroking out. Man, that sucked. I always forget how pale I am until I see a photo of myself in a group and then I'm like, wow, I really am albino.

Never had a migraine myself, knock on wood. My boyfriend said he used to get them constantly as a teenager, but they stopped completely, and never came back, after he smoked weed for the first time. He's never been a regular smoker, it's kind of weird.

You can find me in this huge group of graduates just by looking for the white spot in the crowd. I've never gotten an aura with a migraine, all I get is a weird bout of depression like a day or so beforehand. It's funny, because some migraine sufferers get really huffy about it, like you're not having a "true" migraine unless you get an aura and you're probably just exaggerating a bad headache. But the vast majority of migraines don't come with an aura.

Hello lady thread. I just want to say that i am ultra jealous of all of you who can train yourselves to not suck at applying nail polish with your non-dominant hand because mine is all hosed up and I can't grip things quite right with it so my right hand always ends up looking like rear end. -1 outside and I need to go grocery shopping once my paycheck clears.

I used to have migraines one or two times a week when I was younger. Went to a neurologist, but nothing ever came of it besides "welp this happens to you ladies sometimes, sucks to be you I guess." Fortunately they've eased back in frequency as I've gotten older, but changes in the barometric pressure are still a definite trigger. And lying down with my head elevated, that turns out lovely too. Not even a nice soft pillow.Zeth posted:Hello lady thread.

I didn't start painting my nails until a year or two ago so I'm still very very bad at painting with my left hand. Sometimes if I know I'm not going anywhere that day, I'll just paint the one hand and ignore the other one. edit oh yeah sup I'm a lady

I broke my dominant right arm doing something stupid as a kid, right around the time I was learning how to draw and write. I actually got pretty good with my left, and just kind of kept using both once the cast came off. I'm not fully ambidextrous, though Oh god, also yesterday I saw a guy in a deerstalker hat, a guy in a khaki utilikilt, and a guy in a terrible cape/coat hybrid.

That works good when I don't want to wait. I hide the xbox controller and won't let my son have it until he paints my nails. He also is a really good cook. I'm setting some lady (or dude, but I'm pretty sure he likes ladies exclusively) up with a good one.
