Recc' Request 10 months post partum and at a really low ebb - help me to look alive?

I had a baby 10 months ago and I’m in a real slump about my looks, I have historically not really worn makeup, possibly some skin tint and liquid eyeliner and mascara, with a lip product, and that’s it. So I feel pretty unskilled and out of the loop. I’ve tried looking for make up looks online but everything is an ad so I don’t feel like I can trust product recommendations! I have also grown out my grey hair while on mat leave (I’m undecided but couldn’t keep up with the dye, trying to love it and hoping a haircut next week solves that) so my colouring has changed!

I’d love your help, I need your help! I want quick, cheap ish products, and to look pulled together, not just hobbling around on little sleep. I don’t want to hide my freckles as they are the only bit of my face I currently like! I just need a boost! Can someone help me figure out a new routine?

Totally new to make up btw, but I saw the hype over MBM on social media. Decided to give it a go, I got it on sale as it was cheaper, but I cannot contain my disappointment and disgust?

I understand the majority of skin tints have some form of oil in them, but this skin tint is mostly just oil.

I had left it sitting on my desk for 12 hours, and all the oil sits on top, separated. But this separation also happens an hour after the product sitting on my desk or face.

I of course shake the bottle before usage, but it separates anyway. I poured some of the oil out, but there's still so much left.

Is this normal???

I usually use these eyeshadow sticks as a base or colour. However I've just had upper blepharoplasty and these babies are tough. I'm looking for something long lasting, colour dense and soft that doesn't drag across the eyelids.

Also matte please. I've tried the Kiko ones and they don't last on me.

Kaleidos - me again with the questions 🙆‍♀️

I've googled this but couldn't find anything, hoping people here might have an answer. Anywhere I can get the Kaleidos glassload lip melt and capsule in England that isn't yesstyle? From the actual Kaleidos website, shipping isnt too bad price wise but delivery time is 20+ days, and yesstyle doesn't currently stock the shade I want 😭

Wondered if anyone knows any other websites 🫶

i use nivea moisturiser beforehand and let it sit. and then I put nyx pro concealer and then layer 2 foundation with setting spray on brush

how can I fix this? I tried slight pressed powder and even loose powder but it’s all the same.

I'm currently based in ROI. I've been suffering with my skin lately & my face - I have contact dermatitis on my face especially my eye lids and I have gotten quite good at determining what would trigger a flare up. I have used SBA products for the past maybe 3 years now, her foundation, mascara, hydratint, etc, with no issues. Tried her makeup remover (looks like expensive micellar water) - no issues. Got her face cleanser - big NO NO for my skin. Washed my face with it and woke up next day with my eyes feeling burnt. This was probably last year. Ok fine, i moved on from that. Roll on to this year - I ran out of my old SBA foundation, bought a new one.

I don't wear makeup that often, once every few weeks. I usually mix a no7 foundation with the SBA one. Found the next day my face kept flaring up.

Wore just no7 foundation Saturday gone - face has been fine 2 days on.

Anyone else think she's gotten too big for her boots and changed the ingredients in some products? I have come across a lot of people on tiktok reacting to that 'gentle' cleanser and their faces looking burnt post using it.

Sorry for the long winded post lol. Thought i'd provide you with some background
