šŸ’­ Influence or De-influence? What Should I Add to This Minimalist Routine?

I stick to a very minimal base routine most days:
ā˜€ļø Sunscreen
🧔 Color corrector
šŸ–Œļø NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
šŸŖ„ e.l.f. Brow Gel
šŸ”² NARS Setting Powder
šŸ’¦ NYX Matte Setting Spray

It works fine for regular days, but with upcoming wedding functions and family meetups, I want something a bit more long-wearing, polished, and transfer-resistant—especially since I’ll be wearing white.

I’m planning to buy the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter—tried it in-store and loved the glow. The ELF dupe broke me out badly and felt greasy. CT felt way more breathable and suits my skin when paired with a good concealer. I’ll buy a proper foundation later, but for now, I want that lit-from-within finish.

Also considering the CT Setting Spray since NYX transfers after a few hours and doesn’t hold up for full-day events.

Thinking about getting the CT powder too. My NARS powder is halfway done, and I’ve started noticing glitter particles in it (my partner and mom both pointed it out—it looks awful after a while). I’ve tried Huda Beauty’s powder, but it dries out my under eyes and clogs my skin.

If anyone has recommendations for a base product that gives glow, stays put, doesn’t oxidize, and is gentle on sensitive skin, I’d really appreciate it. Trying to keep things minimal but effective.

Thanks in advance šŸ’«
