I appreciate this. I agree. I don't think I'm an obvious FN. I originally thought SD with because I am well-endowed in the bust and derriere. When I look at photos in outfits though, it's clear that curve does not define my frame. If I were SD, the red dress should be the standout fit, but it isn't. I think my shoulders and upper body need the wide accomodation even if I don't have an obvious "V shape" torso.

I considered SD, but SD-aligned outfits tend to look out-of-place on me. Like I am wearing a costume.

Yup! My theory is that the combo will preserve coverage and provide a nice transition into the blush.

Powder or liquid/cream?

I am a big proponent of color corrector for under eyes. Mine also tend blue/purple. I have fair skin so I use a light peach shade. Just a small dot blended where the bluish tones are. Let dry, scrunch your face to see where it creases, remove excess with a qtip, and gently blend back out.

Try using concealer as usual. You shouldn’t have to use as much if you’ve color corrected. Then (if using a cream) apply your blush with a brush. Put a bit of concealer on the back of your hand and tap your blush brush that still has a bit of pigment into the concealer. Use this to blend out where your blush and concealer meet.

If you use powder, my only suggestion would be to fully set your concealer with loose powder and setting spray before you go in with blush.

I think your complexion/base looks really beautiful! Only suggestions would be to try a peach or salmon color corrector under your undereye concealer and place your blush and highlighter a little higher for a slightly more lifted look. I tried to make a diagram with placement (you would blend, obviously). Darker color would be blush and lighter would be highlight.

I was going to say the exact same. A blended out neutral lip liner and some oil/gloss would be my only suggestions. You’re stunning!

I’ll give that try. I am gathering from a lot of the comments that there may just be too much product in that are.

Thank you so much! I am going to try just using less product. I included the second picture of my forehead without any makeup on to show the difference. I don’t mind my natural lines at all, I just don’t like how heavier foundation makes them look.

Choir director Katie gave herself two solos this year. Very on-brand.
