See how it wears with your other products. I touch my face a lot so I set it

Blush first. Also I highly recommend putting it on your hand first, those blushes are hella pigmented

Evaluate your face and figure out what you want to enhance. My skin is pretty even now that my rosacea is controlled, so a tinted sunscreen is fine for a base. My brows are vanishing as I age, so I dye them with just for men beard dye. I wear a blush (liquid) and set it with a powder blush. Eyeliner just in my top lashes, and a couple coats of mascara. For eyeshadow, I mostly skip it but will put a little bronzer above my crease to make the hood from ageing less noticeable. Less is definitely more on me

Perhaps as an alternative, a tubing mascara? Then at least it pulls off easy? Also, I use just for men beard dye on my brows, takes 5 minutes, might be easier than doing it properly with a pro?

I like them on other people. Especially people who feel beautiful with them on. You do you, OP, I bet you look stunning

I’m late 40s and I don’t wear foundation. I think if you’re not wearing super glam eyes and you don’t contour and you like your skin, there’s no reason to.

Lying about shades. I follow several dark-skinned beauty folk and the number of times they get a product and the swatch is like 10 shades darker online than it is for real. That’s so shitty.
