Skincare

It’s confusing. There’s a lot of trial and error. When you find skincare products that work, it feels so good and makes life (skin) better… but trying to get there? It can be a nightmare of a ride!
There’s also a ton of puffery in skincare, and you have to invest time to research and get to know ingredients if you want to buy efficacious products. You also have to know when and how to apply what and where!

Shimmery Blush

I like satin to shimmer in my blushes — matte is my least favorite, so I love when a shimmery blush is luminous but not metallic and doesn’t emphasize my skin’s texture.

Setting Sprays

Some of them just don’t seem to do anything at all, while others definitely seem to help lock in makeup, so it can be frustrating figuring out which one works for you. Some spray a nice, fine mist, and others try to ruin your makeup!

Fragrance Rollerballs

I prefer the overall effect of a more traditional spray bottle, but I love how travel-friendly rollerballs are. It’s also a nice way to have a scent on hand that you might not finish quickly, so they aren’t as expensive to acquire.

Added Fragrance

I’m not a fan, usually, as the scents are often floral-based and overwhelming. I’m using a face moisturizer right now that works well, but I loathe the scent of it.

Powder Foundation

It’s not the type of foundation I reach for, as I find the coverage level is harder to get where I want it and it often accentuates dryness, though some formulas are better than others.

Liquid Foundation

Of all types of foundation, it’s my personal favorite as I find it the most forgiving and easiest to apply. The most annoying thing about liquid foundation is when they don’t dry down or when they’re prone to settling into fine lines.

Contour Powders

So many of them are very, very warm-toned! It’s not that warm-toned contours shouldn’t exist, but it’s more the lack of neutral and cool-toned contour powders (in comparison) that is puzzling!
