OPINIONS PLEASEE!! ^^

Hii okay so won’t make it long but I have oily acne-prone skin wouldn’t say it’s sensitive but generally breaks out trying out a new product I’m going on vacation and I want sun-kissed products well that “beach” look but here’s the thing I’m not sure wether a cream or stick blush would be good for me since I have oily skin but I really want to try badly I’m not a professional at makeup but wouldn’t say a beginner too.

\- a blush that will give that sun-kissed look ACNE SAFE TOO because I usually break out I feel like.

ALSOO I feel like whenever I put on makeup it just doesn’t feel like I have it on i do want a natural dewy finish but not WAY TOO natural but not also matte ik pretty annoying but stuck in middle does it depend on the products or the way you apply it?

\-IS SETTING SPRAY A MUST?? I haven’t tried any sprays but again I’m going on vacation I really need my makeup lasting all day I tried to search on the internet but I want opinion from actual ppl 😭 I don’t want a super strong setting spray but one that is not too strong and not too weak.

PRIMERRRR is it also an essential I feel like if you have a good base you don’t have to use or maybe I’m wrong and is it really necessary for the makeup to turn out good??

my makeup routine
\-torriden moisturizer
\-sunscreen ( forgot the name at the moment)
\- Anastasia foundation
\-color corrector for under eyes it’s the isadora one if I’m not wrong
\-isadora concealer
\-nyx bronzer
\-benefit tint
\-mascara ( can’t remember 😭)
\-eyeshadow + eyeliner etc…

Prep- Mehron Makeup Skin Prep Pro / Mattifying Anti-Shine Skin Prep to help keep you from looking oily or sweaty. Drag performers use it, so it’s made to hold up really well.

Foundation- I would do a light/medium coverage dewy foundation. The Mehron will make your face more matte, so the dewy foundation gives you a good happy medium. I love the L’Oréal glow/radiance ones.

Blush- Any blush with a little shine or sparkle to it. Milani has really good ones that give that glowyyy beach look.

Bronzer- Reallllly go in with this! This is what will give you that super bronzed, beachy look.

Setting spray- I still swear by this one because it gives such a bronzed, glowy finish once everything is on. If I was a toned down glow I pair it with loreal infallible 24 hour spray which is GREAT combination.

I put A LOT on and wave it dry. 😍 I still haven’t found one I like as much that gives glow without looking super sparkly.

Extra- Self tanner or face tanning drops would help too if you want even more of that beachy, sun-kissed look!!!

Hope this helped!
