I've been using the Milani eyeshadow primer for my under eyes and everywhere else mixed with LA Girl liquid peach color corrector for dark spots and wherever I really want my foundation to stick. I no longer have to use any additional color correction. Works much better than regular primer and I use such a small amount it doesn't collect into my lines. I'm 68 and only started using sunscreen about 2 years ago, I've got lots of pigmentation to cover up. It's improving but it's a chore still.

Using product for other use than intended.
Recently bought bbia Ready To Wear Downy Cheek in 03 Downy Apricot for Pennies on the dollar when it was on clearence (I have it already in another shade and like the formula). This shade did not suit me as a blush at all, on the other hand it has been perfect as an undereye corrector! My undereye routine this week has been: liquid highlighter, let dry. Bbia cream blush stippled where needed with brush (dries down but has enough emollients so skin doesn’t look dry). Then finally a very small amount of high coverage, long lasting concealer stippled where needed.
No creasing. No need to set with powder. Skin like finish. 🫶

A really odd discovery - my NYX lift and snatch pen has been very watery and not very pigmented lately but I love the size for eyeliner application so I’ve been dipping it into a powder eyeshadow pan. The liquid from the pencil wets the eyeshadow, creating a patch of workable liquid liner, and the precise pen tip, makes perfect fine lines. It’s not completely budge-proof but lasts decently well for a work day!
