1)burts bees peach scrub
2)burts bees acne solutions with a clarisonic brush on my face
3)burts bees radiant 7 radiance lotion
4 a primer ( I try milk of magnesia sometimes and then the Loreal studio) doesn't work well so need help finding one)
5) My top and bottom eyeliner
6) Radiant and creamy Nars concealer in caramel ( like to mix with another lighter one as well for an accurate color)
7) Clinique vanilla eyeshadow for under eyes( it will not stay long! )
8) and there's more but I'm sure it won't help you with my question.
----- note: I have tried the Clinique acne solution foundation and it's like water and slips off, it was no good!
------ I really want to try the Estée Lauder double wear.. But which one, I need it thick but medium- high coverage ( won't be wearing it all around my face) and something very RADIANT! ( such as my concealer)

Hey everyone so I'm only 15 years old and I do not want to try random things on my face. So far I have settled with the burts bees skin care routine and as for my makeup I'm really confused. I have very oily skin and my makeup won't stay and I want the radiant glow in my makeup as well. Here is my daily morning routine. And the makeup part... I'm going to write down what I think is best but feel free to fix what you think.
Thanks soooo much!!😘

Beautiful pic! But since I can only see one side of your face I can't really see all the dimensions of it! :\

Yes but is there a way you could tell by using what I've written, I Definetely think that's more helpful than a pic but here anyway.. Haha this is without makeup and great lighting.

Well not necessarily. I always tell people even if it's an unflattering pic post it so that way we can see the full result! And that's much better! You have very pretty cheek bones :)

With your clarisonic use it once a week, if you have sensitive skin, or acne prone. Use it very gentle. Mabeline has great gel eyeliner that I guarantee you it won't slip off, unless you have oily lids. & if you have oily lids than purchase the MakeUp Geek gel Eyeliner on their website, it's only $7.99, once you put the eyeliner On it sticks like glue! it atomically dries up. Try finding a concealer that is your color, and go 3 shades lighter, Mac pro long wear is a awesome concealer! Use a eyeshadow primer when you are putting on eyeshadow, It will stay on longer, Urban decays have great primers, if your looking for something cheep But good, than I suggest you looking at ELF products, Great and affordable cosmetics. I heard great things about the Estee Lauder double wear foundation, so I'm pretty sure it will be fine.
Hope this help Krishna (:

Thanks so much!! I'm looking for something that will be good for my skin ( expensive is okay) and IS. THERE A PRIMER THAT I CAN USE FOR MY FACE AND MY EYESHADOW together, especially one that brightens for oily skin and covers pores?

I would suggest sticking with skincare for oily-combo skin. Don't try to get a radiant look from your skincare. Its just going to be covered up by your makeup. Estee Lauder's Double Wear is a good choice for foundation. The original is FULL coverage & the Double Wear LIGHT is med-full (I prefer the LIGHT). To create a radiant look, use highlighters & powders. Too-Faced Candlelight Powder as a setting powder & Mac Soft & Gentle or Hourglass Luminous as highlighters. You can also use a highlighter to LIGHTLY set your concealer.

Well for gel eyeliner, I suggest going with Inglots, I don't care how oily your lids are, that stuff will stay put, it's actually hard to remove. For eye primers, Lorac and NARS are the best hands down, NYX is very comparable and cheap. If your foundation won't stay put, I suggest using the Tarte face primers, these are amazing at pro longing foundation, there was a test done with 10-15 other foundation primers, and Tarte was in top 3. Another favorite is the Hourglass mineral veil primer, well worth investing in. You want a radiant glow, but have oily skin? it may be best to use a matte foundation, along with a good setting spray that will keep your makeup on, but also give you skin a natural finish. Some thing like skindinavia. Highlighting can also give your skin a nice glow. Dior Amber diamond and NARS albatross are beautiful, but they're plenty of other options. I hope this helped :)

Thanks so much girls! I think I will go with a 1)better eyeliner ( one of them that are recommended above) 2) either the hourglass veil/ or the skindinavia setting spray 3) / I also really want to try the BECCA shimmering skin perfector 3) just put on dots of foundation ( the Dior nude) so just a little bit. 4) then a highlighter/ concealer pen... Such as the YSL éclat ). I really hope I can get a hold of these very soon, I'm trying to find a cheaper place to purchase them...? Anyways, so you guys think this is a good makeup basics idea for what I'm looking for?

As for the makeup I would use a mattifiying foundation to make sure for face stays really matte. There is so many great foundations like that on the market, but here's the ones I love: Nars sheer matte, Estée Lauder double wear, & hourglass immaculate. I would definitely add a primer in there, I really like MAC matte gel, or hourglass mineral veil primer! A cheaper alternative is to use milk of magnesia as a primer, it's really good for oily skin! Now to add a glow I would use a highlighter! :)
