Work Makeup

[Lia]

Hi Everyone . . . . I want to start wearing makeup again and on a regular basis. Due to my work there are some limitations so here are my basic requirements. It needs to be moisturising whilst containing a sun protection, long wearing and natural. Here's what I think I'll start out with.

Face:
Primer: Prep + Prime Skin
Concealer: Studio Finish SPF 35
Foundation: Select Tint SPF 15

Eyes:
Primer: Prep + Prime Lash
Mascara: Splashproof Lash - Blacksplash
Liner: Powerpoint Eye Pencil - Engraved

Cheek:
Blushcreme - Posey

Lips:
Prep + Prime Lip
Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 - Violet Sheen, Fuchsia Fix or Soothing Beige

Am I on the right track? I'd really appreciate your help here.

You say you want to "start to wear makeup again and on a regular basis," so I'm thinking if you aren't used to putting tons of time into getting ready you should do something with less work involved. If you didn't use all the prep stuff it would be a lot faster. Aside from that, it sounds like you've put together a natural, easy makeup routine. You could try wearing a Paint, if you wanted eye shadow. I with I could recommend some colors, but no clue what you look like, so...

No unfortunately I don't wear makeup on a regular basis. I'm currently in the process of doing something about it.

Can you tell me more about "paint" please, it sounds really interesting. Eye makeup is my weakest point. I'd love to have the experience and knowlege of those of you here though, some of the photos I've seen are incredible.

The problem with blushcreme is that it usually runs if either you're oily or you are in the sun - it tends to melt away.

I have dry skin but use skincare twice a day to compensate. The look I'm trying to achieve is a starting point for me to get me back into the habit of wearing makeup. I also am wanting to purchase products that are long wearing and can endure strong stage lights for my chosen sports. That way, I'm getting better value for money.

Would it help if I posted a photo for complexion and tone?
