I just finished doing my makeup in the morning of 4 November 2025, and here’s a little update on how it went. I started by applying my Face Oil evenly on my face and neck, followed by sunscreen non-negotiable, of course! After that, I went in with my foundation. It looked quite fair on my hands at first, but once blended on my face, it matched surprisingly well.
Before foundation, I did a light mist of setting spray (a new step I’m trying out), and I think it really helped the makeup settle nicely. Then it was the usual routine: filled in my brows, a little eyeliner, and some highlight at the inner corners of my eyes and under the brow tail to brighten up the look. I set everything with loose powder, added a touch of blush, and finished with lipstick.
✨ 4-Hour Check:
I’m actually happy with how my skin held up! After about four hours, my face wasn’t overly oily. Just a quick dab on the T-zone with tissue was enough. The foundation stayed smooth with no patchiness or blotchiness. Which is a win for me, especially with combination skin that leans dry due to perimenopause.
I know I still have a lot to learn, especially with eye makeup. Mature skin really needs extra hydration and proper prep for that smooth, long-lasting finish. It’s all about experimenting to find what works. The right texture, the right style, the right products.
But honestly, I’m satisfied. The effort I put into scrubbing and prepping my skin earlier really paid off, and it reminded me that good makeup truly starts with good skin prep.
Still learning, still improving and enjoying the process.
