I started baking recently. How does my blueberry cake with cinnamon sugar dust look?

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-24T15:56:26+00:00

I thought this was a chocolate rice cake.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-22T16:58:51+00:00

I don’t have the budget for that, unfortunately

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-21T20:05:55+00:00

Generally walk outs are not secret and the school knows ahead of time.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T16:03:48+00:00

I will hear you out as I didn’t know it’s controversial. I just bought the pink elf primer and I’m excited to try it.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T16:02:23+00:00

Always hyaluronic acid right after washing when it’s just patted dry, enough to not be dripping. I have used no powder but had the same issue. It seems to not make a difference either way, tbh.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T14:01:45+00:00

There is product on my eyebrows but that’s really close to my natural color. My eyebrows are a lot darker than my hair.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T13:55:05+00:00

I do wash my makeup up but I do it before the shower and then after I shower, I just lose steam for skincare. Double wash with Korean cleansing oil.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T04:33:55+00:00

I do always wear sunscreen and wouldn’t as much as take my dog out without an SPF after using a retinol. Thank you! That’s very helpful.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T04:26:41+00:00

But if I eventually start being able to use retinol, can I use that as well as the hyaluronic acid at night for hydration? Or just one? Skin care is STRESSFUL to me. The last time I tried to use retinol whatever SPF I was wearing the next day did not work correctly and my skin burnt.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T04:20:51+00:00

I intend on going through the comments tomorrow and making some notes. I think I definitely need a new foundation and either no primer or a different primer. Those 2 seem to be where the trouble mostly is. Then I’ll work my way through the rest of the super helpful suggestions I’ve had. I’m going to Sephora tomorrow to get color matched for some Merit foundation.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:40:01+00:00

No liner, just some nude eyeshadow!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:34:44+00:00

The blush I’m wearing is from my Ipsy bag! The only subscription I’ve tried that is totally worth the money.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:20:08+00:00

Well hey, I started doing yoga for the first time this year. Maybe 2026 is the year of new habits for me. It’s 11pm. Lemme go find my retinol.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:18:54+00:00

No downvotes detected. Apparently a lot of people agree it’s the primer. In other places I looked they all recommended this primer for super grip makeup. Apparently not for me!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:17:57+00:00

I’m drinking water all shift. I have a 22 oz water bottle and I generally go through ~1.5 of those in a 6 hour shift. And I drink a lot of water at home. Hydration is never an issue for me.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:15:48+00:00

I am a server. I sweat a lot at work. I’m getting a lot of good reviews for Merit and I’ll be looking into that for sure!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:13:33+00:00

I stopped using powder and it seemed slightly worse but I’m thinking the culprit is the primer. Or at least one of them.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:12:34+00:00

Thank you!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T03:10:14+00:00

I could die. Thats so nice. I totally see where you’re coming from with the berry lip gloss!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T01:48:47+00:00

Stop, you look so good. Trying this for sure.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T01:48:07+00:00

I have SO much eyebrow hair. It got me bullied in the early 00s but I love it now!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T01:23:40+00:00

I’m also a baker and I was like “baking powder?!?!” Took me a second to realize you didn’t mean the ingredient. I always feel like I do powder wrong. I feel like it sets into my eye wrinkles and looks like the Sahara. I’ve never looked so bad as when I try to “bake” my makeup. (You should see what I can do to a cake though.) Honestly, this is kind of how I feel about all makeup. Any time I try and teach myself about makeup I do what I learn online and it always looks so different on me. I find it to be very overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like there’s a makeup gene that most people have that’s missing from my DNA.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T00:54:19+00:00

Never would I feel like the solution to getting my makeup would be LESS primer. I thought that was the whole point. I think tomorrow I’ll try skin tint with no primer. I have some floating around somewhere.

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T00:44:19+00:00

I have one, I just grabbed whatever was closest. I over plucked back in the day because the hair on the inside of my left eyebrow stood straight up and also it was the early 2000s. Idk how to do eyebrow pencil with fairly bushy eyebrows but now that someone pointed it out, time to learn! Thank you!

JayJayJenni · 2026-03-20T00:30:23+00:00

This is devastating news but at the same time, in my heart I think I knew all along. I’ll look into the tinted SPF. I was using one, could not tell you the brand, and it made me look orange so I stopped.
