š Influence or De-influence? What Should I Add to This Minimalist Routine?
I stick to a very minimal base routine most days:
āļø Sunscreen
š§” Color corrector
šļø NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
šŖ e.l.f. Brow Gel
š² NARS Setting Powder
š¦ 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-resistantāespecially since Iāll be wearing white.
Iām planning to buy the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filterātried 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. Iāll 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 doesnāt hold up for full-day events.
Thinking about getting the CT powder too. My NARS powder is halfway done, and Iāve started noticing glitter particles in it (my partner and mom both pointed it outāit looks awful after a while). Iāve tried Huda Beautyās 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, doesnāt oxidize, and is gentle on sensitive skin, Iād really appreciate it. Trying to keep things minimal but effective.
Thanks in advance š«
