I have the world's most crazy-sensitive, Casper-white skin. So once I discover what works that doesn't make my skin (a) get all peely and weird or (b) break-out, I stick to it.
I wear sunscreen every single day of my life. This Neutrogena SPF 70 stuff. I use it as my lotion. I also color in my eyebrows every single day, because if I don't, my eyebrows are only visibly about 1/2" long, and that's problematic. I use Maybelline's Expert Eyes® Twin Brow & Eye Pencils in Blonde. I'm actually a Sephora makeup snob, so I'm sure there's something better out there, but I've been using this since I was about 13 years old, and so far, no one has accused me of Cholita Eyebrows.
On a day that I'm wearing makeup, my skin being the crazy-sensitive creature that it is, I have a very specific routine. I start with philosophy the supernatural tinted foundation primer. 90% of the time this is it for my face, if I'm going somewhere I have to bring my A Game, I'll go over it with Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil. If I have zits, I use Neutrogena Skin-Clearing Oil-Free Concealer. I use whatever eyeliner I have floating around, Stila eyeshadow and the occasional smudge pot, depending on if it's work makeup or going out makeup I use either Rachel Perry (lightweight), or Fiberwig (vaVOOM) mascara.
The only lip anything I ever wear that isn't chapstick is Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, which I'll recommend to anyone with lips. Including you.
