like, i contour my nose masterfully, draw graceful curves with my lip liner, look at myself with a sense of pride and accomplishment, then i go out, it hasn't rained in weeks, my face is flooded with pollen, i start maniacally sneezing and at the end of it i look like shit

If you powder a bit the nose even if the powder wipes most of the make up will stay on. And it’s a matter of re-powdering if if starts to go away.

Tap lightly the nostrils, don’t rub at it the nose, just go near the nostrils. When you want to blow, don’t cover the nostril as you would normally, put a bit of kleenex at the nostril entry to cover it and blow the other one. And again reapply powder as needed.

Hope it helps!

Can’t figure how to edit from the mlem app :)

I just wanted to add - don’t forcefully blow either. Try to blow your nose the same way as if you would expel air from your nose in annoyance. Be gentle about it

That's actually very helpful, i'll try to keep that in mind (hopefully until next spring and not sooner)
