• “I had an easier time with mineral powders than any other kind, though some are itchy and it takes some trial and error to determine which ones those are.“ - snailchimera
• “Mineral makeup is good, lighter and less irritating, but the minerals can cause reaction in some people. Etsy sellers often list all ingredients and can help determine if their product is for you” - @thornyoak
• “What do you want out of makeup? Do you want a high fashion, full face with contour look? Do you want a dab of color on your eyes, lips, or cheeks? Do you want something in the middle? Do you have uneven skin or acne you want to cover? There is no right answer here, it’s 100% what YOU want. Don’t feel the need to do more than is comfortable.
• It also depends on what textures, scents, etc. bother you. I hate hate hate “greasy” textures, so a lot of moisturizing foundations and BB/CC creams are out. If you have issues with gritty or powdery textures, the opposite holds; go for cream or liquid based products. If you need to use a product that is counter to this, see the next point….
• Go with products that are the highest quality you can afford. It is often products that are less finely milled or have a lot of “fillers” that with cause sensory issues and skin troubles. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go drop a bajillion dollars at the MAC counter; there are a lot of drugstore products that are actually quite nice.
• Last but not least; have fun! Experiment! That is what makeup is about! And good luck :) - wolfrowan
• “Hi I don’t know exactly what sensory issues are but it seems like you’re just talking about makeup that doesn’t feel like you’re wearing makeup? I might be wrong but I have some tips for that too!
• Powder foundations are great, I like NYX HD Studio Photogenic powder cause it feels like nothing. It comes in translucent and I think a few tinted shades. But, if you want more coverage or if you just like liquids better, you can mix something like Argan oil (super lightweight and v cheap at beauty supply stores) in with your liquid foundation and it feels like nothing.
• Mascara does tend to feel like something on your face but my tip for that would be to spend a few extra dollars if you can on something with more natural ingredients. My two favorite mascaras that don’t feel horrible to me are the Physicians Formula natural ones and the Shea Moisture mascaras. I can wear multiple coats of those comfortably. They don’t feel hard or heavy on your lashes. Also if you curl your lashes first, you can get away with only applying a little. Granted I don’t have this issue so others may be (and probably are) a lot more sensitive. But yeah. I hope I could help anyway :)“ - twerkcircus
• “I’m on mobile so I cant go all out on this, but some tips I have include:
• Finding makeup thats very lightweight and thin like lose powder foundation as opposed to liquid bc it feels like theres nothing on your skin. (I recommend bare minerals powder foundation and l'oreal loose mineral makeup)
• Also something I did was work my way up to wearing more makeup. I started with just eyeliner and then moved to mascara and eyeshadow and lipstick and so on. (I found mascara to be the hardest.) Take your time with it.
• The most helpful for me was that I turned my makeup into a little ritual every morning and the more I took it slow and enjoyed the application, the more I was okay with having it on my face, so now I’ve gotten to the point where most of the time I’m 100% cool with wearing a full face of makeup, but there are still days when my sensory issues act up and I choose to leave my face blank for the sake of my anxiety and thats totally chill too“ - @narwhal-noir
• “If we’re talking application, eyeliner that is the soft crayon-style is best. There isn’t the discomfort from a pencil kind or the wetness of the liquid kind. Also for lipstick, I use a lipstick crayon as well, because it gives better control and uses less product, so it feels lighter and less sticky. I usually skip mascara if I’m having a bad sensory day, there’s not much to be done about that. Just go for super light products where your can control the application the most.” - donderdag-middag
• “Always smell your makeup before you buy it. Go to someplace you can sample it and put it on your face or hand, and see if the smell bothers you throughout the day. It sucks to spend money on something you can’t use because the smell is too strong.“ - @labrownrecluse 
• “Hi! Major makeup geek here and fellow aspie! Anon, what exactly are asking for when you ask for tips? Like which brands to avoid if you’ve got sensory issues? Or stuff like how to blend and do a smoky eye?“ - @matt-the-blind-cinnamon-roll
• I could never live without makeup honestly!! I don’t use eyeliner, and I can’t help with mascara because I use the brush thing that comes in the tubes, but I do need to use alternatives to the brushes that come with blush and eye shadow. There’s a few different alternatives, you can use napkins/paper towels, which come in all kinds of different textures!
• It took me a lot of practice applying blush with paper towels because you have to first figure out what texture suits you best, and then figure out how to do it properly because it’s meant to be applied with the brush that comes with the makeup. For eye shadow, you can use paper towels/napkins, but I find it easier to use Q-tips. But if that’s not something you can handle, then go ahead and try the paper towels or napkins!
• Something that I found that really helps with the sensory weirdness of having things touching my face (especially around the eyes) is texture stimming. I generally stand on a blanket or a piece of fabric with one of my favorite textures and curl my toes against it or twist one of my heels into it. It’s different for everyone, but this is just what I do, so it’s worth a shot! You’re welcome to come talk to me about specifics, too, since there’s probably more I failed to mention! - @blueflavoredcandy
• My number one sensory defensive makeup tip is to wash everything off as soon as you’re done, especially mascara because for me it gets pokey. Also: Don’t use fiber mascara if you have sensitive eyes. Warm things up in your hands before applying so it doesn’t feel as weird. Try to get super soft makeup brushes; I prefer synthetic. And at the end of the day, if you’re having a bad day on Tuesday and don’t wanna wear makeup, don’t wear makeup on Tuesday. Hope I helped! hematophage

NATALIA DYER about Ronance and working with Maya Hawke

(BlackHill AU) 

Maria was her lifeline and she thought she was hers too. But when she abruptly breaks off their relationship, Natasha couldn’t say a word to make her stay.

Natalie turns her head a little so that her lips can whisper directly into Maria's ear. In a low husky voice and a sly smile, she says, "I really like how your body feels against mine."

Maria's breath hitches and she can feel heat rushing up her brain, too much, too quickly.

Summary:

Seasoned monster hunter Maria Hill is tasked with tracking down a dangerous supernatural creature in the heart of the jungle. Her hunt does not go the way she planned.

“I could change your life, Maria. And all you need to do is trust me.”
