@Jasmine... The for a flaky, runny nose tip is great. I'm going to try it. Do you think I could use my Lush sugar lip scrub to exfoliate it?

I think that should work fine, but you should try sugar and olive oil if you can. It works perfectly!

I do wear makeup when I'm sick (well, not always).
I just... do what I normally do, haha. Works for me.
Blush and highlighter is a wonderful thing.

Yeah I've been using it but lightly. I try not to wear blush because I feel right now it makes my nose look more red...hehe

I use a light tinted moisturizer and a dab of bronzer around my face with some mascara and a thin line of eyeliner... for my personally if i dont use some sort of foundation/cover up i look dead, and my eyes look sick without eyeliner!!

@Steph... Exactly why I need to put on at least some because being sick I already look dead...hehe. But so far that's what I've been doing eyeliner, mascara, light foundation. My nose is red so the bronzer and blush makes it look worse.

Usually when I'm sick, I use a tinted moisturizer and a lip stain on my cheeks and lips (if you're feverish, products tend to melt off/not last on me), and a clear mascara or petroleum jelly on my brows and lashes.

A&D Ointment around your nose, it will heal it pretty quickly. Also, moisturize the hell out of your lips. I don't know about anyone else, but my lips get ridiculously chapped when I'm sick, and it's a dead giveaway that I'm under the weather.

Usually my sick consists of watery eyes, so I tend not to put nothing on my eyes, because the liner will smudge or come off, and most of my mascara will run (although I should try waterproof next time.)

Usually when I'm sick, I'd do a light foundation (powder, mineral, TM). I most def have to fill in my brows. And possibly some chapstick. Either than that, when I'm sick, I look like hell. LOL

@Nikki... now that i'm starting to look more normal and less reddish... I've been using peach blushes because it doesn't add more focus to my nose...hehe
@Britt... I use the petroleum on my lids, nose & lips at night so when I wake up those areas are soother.
@Farrah-- I will definitely have to try the A&D ointment because my nose is now peeling. And yes my lips are beyond chapped... I've been using my lush lip scrub to rub off the dead skin everyday!
@ Jane... Waterproof everything for me! Mineral makeup during this time has become my best friend...lol.
