    I wear very little make up - i've worn none over lockdown! I really like mineral powder (which is vegan and chemical nasty free!) and actually I've found that it's really been quite kind to my skin - as opposed to heavier foundations I used to wear. The downside is that it doesn't contain any sunscreen in so I have to apply that separately.

    I'd love to learn how to do decent eyeliner. I've started filling in my eyebrows but my husband doesn't like it really. He's not that used to me wearing make up!

    Will be watching this for tips :)

    You can get some mineral powder foundations which contain SPF. Avon's do and I think Baremineral's too.

    You’re always better off using an actual sunscreen under makeup. Most people don’t apply enough of a layer to get the full spf value from thei foundation.

    Though that has been a good thing that came out of COVID for me—between the face-covering and my hat, haven’t needed much sunscreen. 😂

    Very good point re sunscreen. :+1:

    I wonder if lipstick and lipgloss sales are going to fall now that our mouths are hidden? Every time I think about throwing on some lipgloss I remember the mask thing and don't bother.

    I only wear make-up to the store but have stopped using lip products aside of shea butter. In general I barely wear make-up so I wouldn't be surprised if it's all down these days.

    I personally love makeup and spend way more than I should. My advice to you is first, determine what you want to achieve. Do you want to play up your eyes? Do you want to even out your skin tone? Enhance lips, etc. Next, think about what you are specifically asking and search for tutorials…there are tons out there. Have dry skin, but want to find a buildable foundation? There are a lots of review channels that will give you a great breakdown of different foundations. Want to play up mature, hooded eyes? Sugar Puff and Fluff is a channel that has a lot of really good 5-minute eye makeup look tutorials, but there are many more out there too.
    Just invest in colors that you know you’ll enjoy. The nice thing is drugstore makeup has come a long way and you can find some good quality stuff. If you do decide to go for the luxury brands, many companies have generous return policies if things don't work out with the product. Makeup should be fun, and the nice thing is if you mess up, it just washes off. Good luck!
