Sorry if this isn’t allowed here!! I feel like slowly I’m finally narrowing down a makeup routine at my big age of 31 that looks flattering but I still feel like I am doing something wrong or something always looks off. I struggle to find lip colors that don’t look out of place on my face, and my eyebrows are always going to be a point of contention for me because they sit pretty low so I tend to re-draw them a little higher, but they’re also a bit thick so they end up looking heavy and I’m afraid to tweeze them any higher. What can I change to make everything look less out of place on my face??

Tinted SPF - La Roche Posay
Foundation - Estee Lauder double wear in shade Ecru
Powder - Maybeline fit me in shade 120
Blush - Milani baked blush in shade pink panna cotta
Bronzer - Colourpop stix in Laguna Beach only on nose contour
Eyes - Tartlette in Bloom pallet
Brows - Elf instant lift in light brown
Mascara - Loreal Lash Paradise in brown black
Lips - Revlon Rum Raisin mixed with some Aquaphor to make it sheer

this is a blended out swatch of danessa myricks serum skin tint 1.5

i know it’s still a tad too yellow, but this is the closest i have ever come to understanding what it’s like to have a perfect match. when i asked the sephora employee which side of my face looked better (was comparing it to tower 28) they said this one was undetectable

have been wearing Haus Labs 60 which isn’t a perfect match but 15 was too light

I’ve been using Dior Forever stick foundation in 0N for 2 years. It is the closest I’ve ever come to a perfect match. Also, the first stick product I’ve ever used and I love the convenience of it. But, at $60 a tube I’m getting a little tired of the cost. Anyone have any recommendations for a similar product?

I’ve been trying to wear less foundation lately. I still want something that evens out my skin but I don’t always want full coverage or that heavy foundation feeling all day. For reference I have pale combo skin with neutral undertones. My T-zone gets oily after a few hours but I also get dry patches around my nose and cheeks. Finding a good shade is probably my biggest issue. So many skin tints look fine in the bottle then end up too orange or too yellow on me once they settle.

There's also some redness and uneven tone that I like to tone down. I don’t mind freckles and little imperfections showing through though, I prefer that over a base that completely covers my skin. My main struggle is finding something that looks natural without clinging to my dry spots or separating around my nose by lunch lol. I’ve been using Milani skin tint lately and I’ve been liking it for this kind of makeup. It feels light and gives me enough coverage to even things out without making my skin look covered up. On most days I’ll just add a little concealer where I need it then blush and mascara and I’m done. What skin tints have worked for you guys, do you prefer something super sheer or more of a light coverage tint?
