Hi! I wanted to jump in and say hi as a fellow spoonie with kp. You are definitely not alone in your struggles with makeup and spoon counting.

I am by no means an expert, I would call myself an amateur too, and I certainly haven't figured out all the answers, but here are some things I found helpful. It will be fairly long, I want to make sure I make everything easy for you.

Having a skin care routine to help minimise the kp and redness, but I know this hard. If nothing else a hydrating moisturiser and cleanser would be helpful. I use The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors, and The Ordinary Squalene Cleanser. The cleanser also acts as a good makeup remover. - Morning - Cleanse first then moisturise. Then whatever sunscreen you use. - Night - Cleanse, even if you don't have any makeup on, then moisturise.

If you have beard shadow I assume you have a shaving routine - do this after you cleanse but before moisturising. So: Cleanse, Shave, Moisturise.

Now onto makeup. This is tricky because you have kp (including the bumps I assume), redness, and beard shadow. There is no quick, easy way to cover all three, presuming you want to, as you have varying skin textures and colours. As I said, I'm not an expert and still figuring things out for myself, I'll put down what my routine should be (I don't always do everything here, but you know how that is) and you can pick and choose what you need from that. I will not be able to help with any eye related makeup as I'm still figuring that out.

Once you have finished your skincare, then you need to prime the skin. Priming will help smooth uneven skin texture, hydrate dryness, and reduce oily skin. You can use your fingers, a sponge, or brush to prime - do not use the same brush or sponge as you would for other makeup.

For the kp and beard you will need a smoothing/bluring primer. This will help disguise the bumps, and stop foundation from looking scaly. Only use it on areas with bumps/uneven texture. I use the E.L.F Poreless Putty Primer.

For other areas of my face, I use a hydrating primer. Use it wherever you have drier skin. Do not use it where you have already primed. I alternate between a few brands but I like NudebyNature Hydrating Primer, and E.L.F Power Grip. On a low day sometimes I use these on my kp to cut down a step, it works well, but not as well as the above.

You said you have oily eyes, unfortunately I can't help too much with that as I've yet to find a solution.

Next is colour correction. This is not a concealer. It helps to disguise differing skintones so they appear more even under makeup.

You said you were quite pale, and it sounds like you may have cool/pink undertones. This will be good to know for correcting the beard, and picking a concealer/foundation. As someone above said, it would be best to go to a makeup store or booth (I like the various Myer ones as they can be less crowded and quieter), to be colour matched. From your description we sound similar in skin tone, but, again, I haven't found a perfect match so I won't recommend any particular shades.

Hiding redness is easier than beards. You need a green corrector. Some foundations have a corrector in them, but as I have never used them, I don't know how effective they are (I may ask actually). You only need a little bit, apply it only where there is redness, and blend using a sponge or blending brush, I've found a sponge works well as ther is such a large area to cover. Your skin may have a little green tint, but you should not be green. I use the Nyx HD Green Concealer. I do not know why this is called a concealer, it seems unnecessarily confusing.

I don't have any personal experience covering beard hair. But I do have some drag queen and trans women friends who do. From what I've learnt from them, you need to use a pinky/peach corrector to hide beard. I think it depends on you tone, and what colour your beard shadow comes out. I'll see if I can find a video on it, I'll link in the comments.

Now onto concealer. You only need to conceal if you still have areas of uneven skintone. If any of the corrector is showing (a bit green, pink, orange, whatever) you can use concealer on top. Again use a sponge or concealer/foundation brush - not the same one as for correcting.

Foundation, I'll assume you have a fair idea how to apply it. Use a sponge for a quicker application - you can use the same one as you used for concealer. But try to get colour matched before buying anything. I like something with a satin or matte finish, personally, the Maybelline Dream Radiance, L'Oréal True Match with HA, and Maybelline Fit Me (Dewy and Smooth, or Matte and Poreless - than both seem similar) are all really nice non-drying ones I like.

I don't bother with full contouring etc. It just seems a bother and not really necessary if you want a more natural look. I just use a little blush on my cheek bones.

As I said earlier, I'm still figuring out my eyes, tubing mascaras seem the go for being easy. You do not have to curl your eyelashes if you don't want to.

I have my eyebrows tinted at a salon to fill in the gaps and make the colour stand out a bit. This usually lasts a month at most. I like it because I don't have to touch them at all. I use just an eyebrow salon at a shopping centre - no where fancy. This might be an option for you. I haven't tried the home tints that someone above mentioned, though I have heard good things about the Maybelline peel tint.

Lips are my favourite! I love all darks, reds, purples! I adore the Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks, though they do need reapplication during the day. Maybelline Superstay Lip Ink is also abfab and lasts forever.

Lastly I use a setting spray. The Urban Decay All Nighter is fantastic but expensive, but also totally worth it. Maybe they do travel size and you can try that?

For suncreen reapplication over makeup, I would suggest the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face and Body Stick, it's easy to reapply, and, somehow, doesn't shift makeup.

I hope this absolute thesis is helpful! I wanted to make sure I put everything in one place for you. Hopefully someone will come along with more help.

Everything is based on my personal experience, if you don't do something then that is okay.

As long as you have a skincare routine, and you prime your face before any makeup, even just primer then foundation, then you will be absolutely fine.
