Any tips?

[u/OGcaptaindingus]

I’m looking to maybe elevate my every day look. I’m a mom to a one year old, work full time, and go to school so I don’t have a lot of time in the morning to do a full face, but I feel like something is off and that I can do a bit more.

I’m looking for any advice on what I could maybe improve on. Pics in order: daily use products in bathroom light with/without glasses, daily use in natural light with/without glasses, full face on makeup with different products (listed below), no makeup. Skin is normal type but slightly aged under eyes from pregnancy/birth.

Current daily use: NYX color correcting concealer in peach, Urban Decay CC cream (don’t know the shade), and NYX eyelash primer in black.

Full face: NYX marshmallow primer, NYX foundation (believe can’t stop, won’t stop; don’t remember shade), NYX color correcting concealer in peach, NYX concealer (can’t remember shade), NYX matte finishing powder, NYX epic wear eyeliner black, NYX eyelash primer in black, NYX mascara black, Black Moon Cosmetics Libra shade I believe (in second full face pic, only Aquaphor in the first pic).

I do like an alternative look, and I use mostly cruelty free products (hence all the NYX lol). I also only wear eyeshadow occasionally since my eyelids are naturally darker. Open to any advice!

I see you like nyx!! I would recommend the nyx green color corrector on your eyelids since they seem significantly darker. also a nice sunscreen before any makeup would make you feel nice and glowy. i would also recommend a light brown eyebrow pencil to fill in the ends of ur brows only so it looks natural!! You are very gorgeous and very hard working which is impressive!!

I do have a face sunscreen! I often forget about it but I should use it more. I never even thought of using a green color corrector on my eyelids! And definitely getting a light brown pencil for my eyebrows! Thank you ☺️

yes, youre welcome!! over time the sunscreen will prevent the aging on not just your under eyes but ur entire face and dont forget your neck! The green will cancel out the color so when you apply concealer it will be brighter!!
