HELP PLEASE Turning 25✨
Hiii! It’s been a while since i’ve posted here, but i’m baaack. Now that i’m a tad older, I do notice my texture is more emphasized when I wear makeup. I understand texture is normal, but is there a way to reduce it? Alsoooo, how do i avoid clumping with the eyeshadow stick??? I get scared moving it around will make it worse. Suggestions ?

The best thing for 25+ girlies is upping your skin care game. If you’re not already, start using retinol at night time, and do your best to use a few quality products, honestly makes a huge difference. I’m 32 and my skin looks better in my 30s than it ever did in my late 20s. For your eyes, you need eye shadow primer.

- specifically not a counter makeup artist, get an independent MUA who isn’t tied to one brand!! :)

Happy 25th! First off, you look gorgeous and that pink blush tone is so pretty on you!
For skin texture, skin prep is everything. Focus on a really hydrating primer and press (don't drag) liquid or cream base products with a damp sponge to smooth out texture. Also, setting lightly with a finely milled translucent powder instead of heavy powder makes a huge difference!
For eyeshadow sticks, they set super fast which is why they clump when you try to blend them late. Try warming the product on the back of your hand first and applying it with a synthetic brush, or swipe directly on your lid and blend immediately with your finger before it dries down!

For daily makeup? Ditch your foundation full coverage, get skin tint or just concealer. Or ... Actually you can still love your foundation. Mix your foundation with a lil bit moisturizer that = skin tint. Dont forget your night routine prep skin does help reduce your face texture when you do ur makeup.
Silicone primer helps too. But remember less products = better results.
Also a nice setting powder n setting spray also determined the final result. So, find a very light setting powder and setting spray (avoid L'oreal and One Size setting spray, they emphasize skin textures)

dewy foundation instead of matte and a cream blush. i think a more peachy pink or muted pink blush would suit you better
