Sansa Stark Beauty Routine HC (modern au)

My first thought was : Sansa is a no-makeup makeup, skin care is everything, facemasks twice a week kind of girl.

I can see her spending an ungodly amount of money in that business yes yes. She has a mini fridge in which she keeps her products. She has way more than she needs obviously. So many, she doesn't notice when her siblings borrow from her endless collection. Consumerist queen, borderline annoying but too satisfying to be ridiculous. Yes she is that girl.

I kind of assume Sansa started doing skincare and makeup imitating her mother. So, even though she's young, her routine includes anti aging products she doesn't really need but uses out of habits.

I'm guessing that Sansa's main keywords for her look, are natural, fresh and glowy.

She wants to emphasize the glow of her skin, and even out the slight hyperpigmentation she can have due to the weather, and above all, she's looking for hydratation, because of the northern cold. I can see her using a lot of korean skincare in her everyday routine, for their simplicity and their efficacity, along side products she pick from Catelyn's routine.

Here's what this kind of makeup can look like on a redhead (my inspo pics)

So there's a routine mixing korean and danish (the north you get me) skincare products, and western makeup brands.

Glowing Essence

Vitamine C barrier booster lotion

Hydrating and glow serum

Brightening gel creme

Repulping lipbalm

As for makeup, still, I'm guessing the goal is to be glowy, luminous, natural (but not as natural as not putting anything on).

Additionally, I'm thinking Sansa is sensible to the marketing and the packaging of a product. It has to be pretty, it has to be popular. I think she puts a lot of care in the appearance of her skin, because she aims for a natural but flawless finish.

So I'm proposing :

a glowy serum makeup base

a skin tint serum with spf

a more full coverage concealer for eventual spots

an under eye brightener

So, nothing completely full coverage or mat, everything on the sheer, glowy, hydrating side of things. Next, for setting this and putting some color on :

Here we have :

a korean pressed setting powder (extract of peach which I think Sansa would find excessively cute)

a pink tinted moisture stick on the cheeks and on the nose

a bronzy highlighter im guessing she would use as a bronzer

a highlighter stick

So here, I'd comment she would set under her eyes and around her nose to avoid creasing, but since I think her skin would have a more dry tendancy, I don't think she would powder everywhere. So, a very natural and glowy blush she would use almost everyday with nothing else one.

When it's summer and she feels fancy, she uses bronze highlighting drops, that plays like a bronzer on her skin.

When she goes for a colder look, she uses an almost white, sheer highlighter, with almost holo reflects, which on a pale skin, can look very inner glow.

For the rest of her face, I think she would focus on the lips and her eyebrows : I'm guessing she has pale brown, maybe blonde eyebrows and wants to emphasize them. And her lips because I think she would want to balance the top of her face, with very blue eyes and structured eyebrows, with pink and glossy lips.

a brow pen because daddy said no to real microblading

tinted lip balm that adapts to your natural tint

or a water based lip tint

a pink lip oil

As for her eyes, I don't think she would do too much here. Probably a brown mascara for everyday, maybe a smudged brown khol liner or black mascara when she's feeling brave, or some cold very light blue glitter, when she's feeling cute.

She would probably try herself to some more artsy vibes, with white liners and shimmers when she gets a little bit older and experienced. Ultimately, she uses makeup to improve her looks, to make her feel more confident in her own features.

okay bye send me an ask if you want the detail for another asoiaf character

disclaimer : also I do not want to encourage mindless consumerism, keep in mind that no one needs makeup. images are here to illustrate my meaning for people not familiar with makeup. I personnally didn't try any of those products.

Best Makeup for Women Over 50: Simple Tips for Beautiful Skin

As we get older, our skin changes, and that means our makeup needs to change too. For women over 50, the goal is to find makeup that makes you look fresh and natural. Whether it's for everyday wear or a special occasion, the right makeup can boost your confidence and enhance your beauty. Let’s dive into the Best Makeup Women Over 50 tips that will make your skin look its best.

Why Makeup for Women Over 50 Is Different

As we age, our skin becomes drier and thinner. This means some makeup products may not work the same way they did when we were younger. For mature skin, it’s important to choose makeup that hydrates, smooths, and lifts. The right makeup can bring out your natural beauty, making you feel amazing at any age.

Best Makeup Tips for Women Over 50

Here are some easy tips to help you create a beautiful and youthful look:

1. Moisturize First

Before applying makeup, make sure your skin is well-moisturized. Dry skin can make makeup look patchy and settle into fine lines. Use a good moisturizer to hydrate your skin, giving you a smooth base for makeup.

2. Pick the Right Foundation

As our skin changes, our foundation needs do too. Choose a lightweight foundation that gives you enough coverage without being too heavy. A dewy finish looks natural and fresh. Avoid thick, cakey foundations that can settle into fine lines.

Best Foundations for Women Over 50:

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream

3. Skip Heavy Powder

While powder can help set makeup, it can also make skin look dry and highlight fine lines. Instead, use a setting spray or a light dusting of translucent powder on areas where you tend to get oily.

4. Soft Eyeshadow for a Fresh Look

For eyes, go for soft, neutral shades that brighten your eyes without looking too harsh. Avoid dark, matte eyeshadows, which can make your eyes look smaller. Try shimmering shades to add light and make your eyes pop.

Best Eyeshadows for Women Over 50:

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick

Urban Decay Naked3 Palette

Clinique All About Shadow

5. Fill in Your Brows

Thinning brows are common as we age. Filling them in can help frame your face and make you look more youthful. Use a brow pencil or powder that matches your hair color and apply lightly for a natural look.

Best Brow Products for Women Over 50:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz

Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel

NYX Professional Makeup Micro Brow Pencil

6. Add Length to Lashes

Mascara can help add volume and length to lashes, making your eyes look bigger and more awake. Use a lengthening mascara that doesn’t clump, and consider using a lash curler for extra lift.

Best Mascaras for Women Over 50:

Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara

Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise

7. Natural Blush for a Healthy Glow

Blush adds a healthy glow to your face. Cream blushes are great because they keep your skin looking fresh and hydrated. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks for a natural flush of color.

Best Blush for Women Over 50:

NARS Cream Blush

Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush

8. Go for Soft Lip Colors

For lips, choose soft, natural shades that match your lip color. Hydrating lipsticks keep your lips soft and prevent them from drying out. Avoid matte lipsticks that can make lips look thinner.

Best Lip Products for Women Over 50:

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick

Clinique Almost Lipstick

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Ingredients to Look for in Makeup for Mature Skin

When shopping for makeup, it's important to choose products that care for your skin. Here are some key ingredients to look for:

1. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid helps keep your skin moisturized and plump. Look for makeup products with this ingredient to help your skin stay hydrated throughout the day.

2. Vitamin C

Vitamin C brightens the skin and helps reduce age spots. It’s a great ingredient for keeping your skin looking fresh and youthful.

3. Peptides

Peptides can help your skin look firmer and reduce wrinkles. They help boost collagen, which is important for maintaining skin’s elasticity.

4. SPF Protection

Sun protection is a must at any age. Look for makeup products that include SPF to keep your skin safe from sun damage and prevent premature aging.

Makeup Remover for Women Over 50

At the end of the day, it's important to remove your makeup gently. Choose a makeup remover that hydrates and is suitable for mature skin.

Best Makeup Removers for Women Over 50:

CeraVe Hydrating Micellar Water

Neutrogena Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm

Makeup Trends for Women Over 50

As makeup styles change, there are some trends that look great on women over 50:

1. Glowy, Natural Skin

For a youthful look, choose makeup that gives your skin a natural glow. Skip heavy foundations and choose products that let your natural skin shine through.

2. Monochromatic Makeup

This look uses the same color on your eyes, cheeks, and lips. Soft, neutral colors like peach or pink create a balanced, youthful look.

3. Soft Cat Eyes

A soft cat-eye can define your eyes without looking harsh. Use a pencil liner and blend it slightly for a more natural, flattering effect.

Conclusion: Best Makeup for Women Over 50

The Best Makeup Women Over 50 is about enhancing your natural beauty and choosing products that make you feel confident. Focus on hydration, lightweight formulas, and soft colors that brighten your skin. No matter your age, makeup can be a fun and empowering way to express yourself and feel beautiful.

Makeup Essentials for a Quick and Natural Everyday Look ?

Prepping the Skin:

The Foundation for Flawless Face Makeup

A natural makeup look begins with healthy and glowing skin. The answer to this is using face makeup products that enhance the complexion without feeling heavy on the skin. Start by using a pro-pore conceal primer from Charmacy Milano. A good primer will not only hydrate and smoothen the skin but also ensure that your makeup stays in place all day. Charmacy Milano primers are lightweight and perfect for creating a flawless canvas.

Once the primer is set, opt for a face foundation that offers light to medium coverage. For a more breathable feel, consider Matte Foundation from Charmacy Milano’s line of beauty products. These products even out the skin tone while allowing your natural complexion to shine through.

Enhancing Your Features with Minimal Products

Face Contouring and Highlighting

For a natural-looking glow, apply a little cheek blush to the apples of your cheeks. Charmacy Milano’s Cheek Enhancers give just a subtle flush of color that mimics a healthy glow. Apply a light dusting of a Stardust face highlighter to the high points of the face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow, to add just a touch of radiance.

Finish the base with a dusting of loose powder makeup to set the foundation and prevent shine throughout the day. Charmacy Milano’s Set & Loose powders are finely milled, ensuring a seamless finish without clogging pores.

Eye Makeup: Subtle and Defined

The eyes are often the point of a makeup look. For the everyday look, keep it simple yet defined. The first step will be in grooming your brows with a Charmacy Milano Ultra Defining eyebrow pencil. Light, hair-like strokes can fill in sparse areas for that natural look.

Next, select a neutral eyeshadow makeup palette. Charmacy Milano’s eyeshadow 12 color palette comes in soft, earthy tones, which can be great for subtle enhancement. Use a light shade all over the lid and a slightly darker shade in the crease to give it a definition. Blend well so that it stays soft and natural.

Finish the eyes with eyeliner makeup and a coat of eye mascara. For a more subtle look, use brown or soft black eyeliner. Charmacy Milano’s Stretch eyeliner is silky and doesn’t bleed. One coat of Deg volume mascara will make the eyes pop and brighten up the face.

Lip Makeup: Soft and Nourishing

Lips tie the whole look together. For a natural look, opt for soft and nourishing lip makeup products that complement your natural lip color. Charmacy Milano’s Soft Satine matte lipstick collection features nude and pink shades that are great for everyday wear. Or try their liquid lipstick shades for long-lasting color with a lightweight feel.

For added hydration, start with a lip balm and follow with a light application of lipstick or gloss. This creates a soft, kissable finish that complements the rest of your makeup.

The Final Touch: Setting the Look

To ensure your makeup lasts throughout the day, finish with a setting spray or an additional light dusting of loose powder makeup. Charmacy Milano’s setting products keep your makeup intact while maintaining a fresh and natural finish.

Why Choose Charmacy Milano for Your Everyday Makeup Look?

Charmacy Milano is a standout in the beauty industry with high-quality, cruelty-free, and vegan beauty products. Their vast collection of face makeup, lip products, and eye makeup ensures that you can achieve any look you want without compromising on quality or ethics. Be it face primer, foundation, or the perfect liquid lipstick shades, Charmacy Milano has the ideal makeup product to fit your needs.

By using Charmacy Milano’s cosmetic products daily, you can create quick, natural, and radiant makeup that enhances your features while letting your true beauty shine through. With these essentials, you will be sure to take on the day feeling great and beautiful.

September & October 2024 Empties

* = disliked the product - would not repurchase ** = liked the product - would not repurchase *** = liked the product - might or might not repurchase **** = loved the product - would repurchase *HOLY GRAIL!*

1. Soohanbang Sooryehan Chunsam Radiant White Emulsion (130ml+15ml) source: Jolse thoughts: I felt this took me forever to finish. I did enjoy it at first but later it got a little tiring. I did use this as a moisturizer except it didn't provide enough moisture, even though it was during the warmer months. I think that's one of the reasons why I didn't really enjoy using it, especially closer to the end of the product. This was very light and watery which is typical for an emulsion. It does have a light floral scent to it. rating: **

2. Soohanbang Sooryehan Chunsam Radiant White Essence (5ml) source: Jolse (Part of a gift set) thoughts: This was definitely nice and light. It definitely goes well with the emulsion. It's hard for me to say if I really like this product as the amount was quite small. rating: ~

3. HYGGEE Natural Repair Serum (30ml / 1oz) source: Stylevana thoughts: I really like how light this is and it provides me with a good amount of hydration. This goes well under makeup as well. It also absorbs quickly without any residue. I think this would be a go-to serum for me if I'm too lazy to find something else. This is also inexpensive. rating: ****

4. Mediheal Vitamin Brightening Pad (100pads) source: T & T Supermarket thoughts: I really am enjoying these toner pads. I love using them as a quick mask rather than using a mask sheet. However, in order to cover my full face I would use about 7-9 sheets. I didn't notice much of a brightening effect but it has definitely helped with hydrating my skin. On the box, it does say its a "daily blemish pad that brightens dull skin and smoothens skin." Like most pad items I did find that the top layers seemed to have less liquid whereas the bottom ones were really saturated. Hence, I'm going to try storing the unused ones upside down to see if that will help saturate the top ones more. I also like that you could buy refills for this except refills are hard to find. I'm not sure if that was the intended purpose of the packaging, but these containers could also be reused for organizing as well. rating: ***

5. mude true eyelash serum (8g / 0.28oz) source: YesStyle thoughts: I have been using this serum for a few years now. I haven't found anything that I really like aside from this so far. It's not my favourite but it works for now. It's also very hard to tell how much product is left in this, I also feel like as there is less product in the tube the coating on the applicator becomes less even. I also feel like this never fully gets used up even if I was using it everyday for 6 months. rating: ***

6. Off & Relax Hot Spring Water Spa Scalp Essence (45ml / 1.5oz) source: T & T Supermarket thoughts: At first this seemed to help with my scalp but overtime it didn't work again. This makes my hair and scalp smell nice though. I almost feel like I need to be changing my routine every so often. I just can't seem to find a routine that works for my scalp aside from washing my hair everyday but I do not want to do that. rating: **

7. innisfree Green Tea Lip Balm (3.6g / 0.12oz) source: Stylevana thoughts: This was okay. I found that this didn't provide me with enough hydration compared to other lip balms that I have tried before. I have also noticed that it has a funky scent to it now. I only have a little left, hence I am discarding it. rating: **

8. Acropass Soothing Q Patches (12 patches) source: YesStyle thoughts: I found these in my stash and noticed that they have expired but they still do soothe itchy spots for me. I do find they work and prevents me from scratching as well. rating: ***

9. atrix Beauty Charge Hand Cream: Peach Tea (80g) source: Tokyo Beauty thoughts: This smells amazing exactly like what it says like peach tea. It's a nice hand cream but its not that moisturizing. It absorbs quickly and does not leave any residue. However, after putting it on a while later I feel like I need more. rating: ***

10. Shiseido Urea 10% Hand & Foot Cream (60g) source: YesStyle or Stylevana thoughts: I really love using this as a foot cream as I find it moisturizing and over time it even helps with cracked skin and any dry spots. rating: ****

11. The Face Shop Herb Day Cleansing Tissue (70 wipes) source: The Face Shop thoughts: I still love using these and they remain as a staple in my stash. rating: *HOLY GRAIL!*

12. LAGOM Cellup Gel to Water Cleanser (170ml/5.74oz) source: YesStyle thoughts: I enjoyed this cleanser. It was simple and goes on the skin well and it emulsifies nicely as well. It didn't dry up my skin, and it felt clean. rating: ***

13. Carenology95 Be:Fine The AC Spot Treatment (10g) source: Jolse thoughts: I really like using this spot treatment for my acne. I find that it helps heal and fade the scars, but it does take time. rating: *HOLY GRAIL!*

14. O HUI Age Recovery Skin Softener (20ml) source: Jolse (part of a set) thoughts: This was nice but did not especially absorb quickly or well into my skin. It made putting on the next step a little difficult as I really had to work the product into my skin to have it fully absorbed. rating: **

15. A'pieu mint scalp hair vinegar (200ml/6.76oz) source: YesStyle thoughts: I have tried a sample of this in the past and it seemed fairly good at the time, hence I decided to purchase a full size to try. I actually didn't really like this. I prefer my Lador Treatment more than this one. I felt like this didn't really help with my scalp condition, but it was definitely cooling. rating: **

Samples used: "I'm from Beet Energy Ampoule" & "Purito Glacto Niasin 97 Power Essence" & heimish Matcha Biome Gel Moisturizer. These were nice but hard to say if they were really good or worked since it only lasted one/few uses.

Throw-Away

1. Laka Soul Vegan Lip Balm: Rosy - This started smelling funky, it is also past it's expiration date plus it was a lip balm that did not glide very nicely if you don't have even lips. Best used on top of another lip balm or something.

2. NEOGEN Extra Volumecurl Metal Maxicara: Black - I bought this cause I saw that people using it were able to create a good curl and coat on, but for me it did not work. I'm not a really make-up kind of gal, so the applicator did not work well for me either as it was a straight applicator. I also bought this because there were refills available instead of constantly buying the whole thing again.

3. peripera Speedy Skinny Brow Mascara: 03 Natural Brown - I do like using brow mascara as it is a quicker process when I do my brows but this one was not good. It does not stay and rubs off really easily. The color was good and the applicator is also angled which makes applying it on to be easy, but other than that the formulation was just a no for me.

4. fresh Sugar Caramel Hydrating Lip Balm - The formulation for this is nice, but I'm just not the type of girl who likes to dip there finger in a pot to apply lip balm. I need some kind of applicator that is attached. The color is also very nice and natural. It also smells amazing.

Long-lasting Matte Lipstick: Transfer-proof Formula

Introduction

In the world of cosmetics, few products have revolutionized the way we wear makeup quite like matte transfer-proof lipstick. With its promise of long-lasting color that stays put through meals, drinks, and kisses, it's no wonder that this beauty essential has become a favorite among makeup enthusiasts worldwide. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into everything you need to know about matte transfer-proof lipstick, from its formulation to application techniques and tips for finding the perfect shade.

Understanding Matte Transfer-Proof Lipstick

What Sets Matte Transfer-Proof Lipstick Apart?

Matte transfer-proof lipstick stands out from traditional lipsticks due to its unique formulation. Unlike glossy or satin finishes, matte lipsticks offer a velvety texture that dries down to a flat, non-reflective surface. This matte finish not only looks sophisticated but also helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and imperfections on the lips.

What truly sets matte transfer-proof lipstick apart, however, is its ability to stay put for hours without smudging, fading, or transferring onto surfaces. This is achieved through the inclusion of specialized ingredients that create a long-lasting bond with the lips, ensuring that the color remains vibrant and intact throughout the day.

How Does It Work?

The secret behind matte transfer-proof lipstick lies in its formulation. These lipsticks typically contain a combination of waxes, oils, and pigments that work together to create a smooth, opaque layer of color on the lips. Additionally, many matte transfer-proof lipsticks incorporate ingredients such as silicone and film-forming agents, which help to lock the pigment in place and prevent it from transferring onto other surfaces.

Benefits of Matte Transfer-Proof Lipstick

Longevity

One of the most significant advantages of matte transfer-proof lipstick is its longevity. Unlike traditional lipsticks that may require frequent touch-ups throughout the day, matte transfer-proof formulas can last for hours without budging. This makes them ideal for busy individuals who don't have time for constant reapplication.

Smudge-Proof

Another benefit of matte transfer-proof lipstick is its smudge-proof nature. Once dry, these lipsticks are resistant to smudging, feathering, and fading, even in humid or hot conditions. This means you can enjoy your favorite activities without worrying about your lipstick smearing or smudging.

Transfer-Proof

As the name suggests, matte transfer-proof lipstick is designed to be transfer-resistant. Once applied and dried, the color adheres to the lips without transferring onto cups, clothing, or other surfaces. This makes it an excellent choice for events where you'll be eating, drinking, or socializing.

Versatility

Despite its long-wearing formula, matte transfer-proof lipstick is surprisingly versatile. It comes in a wide range of shades, from classic nudes to bold reds and everything in between. Whether you prefer a subtle everyday look or a statement lip for a special occasion, there's a matte transfer-proof lipstick shade to suit your style.

Tips for Applying Matte Transfer-Proof Lipstick

Prep Your Lips

Before applying matte transfer-proof lipstick, it's essential to prep your lips properly. Start by exfoliating your lips to remove any dry, flaky skin, then apply a hydrating lip balm to ensure a smooth, even application.

Use a Lip Liner

To achieve a precise and long-lasting application, consider using a lip liner in a shade that matches your lipstick. Outline your lips first, then fill them in with the lip liner to create a base for your lipstick to adhere to.

Apply Thin Layers

When applying matte transfer-proof lipstick, less is often more. Instead of layering on thick coats of lipstick, start with a thin layer and build up the color gradually until you achieve your desired intensity. This will help prevent the lipstick from feeling heavy or cakey on the lips.

Allow It to Dry

Once applied, allow your matte transfer-proof lipstick to dry completely before pressing your lips together or applying additional layers. This will ensure that the color sets properly and remains transfer-proof throughout the day.

Finding the Perfect Shade

When choosing a matte transfer-proof lipstick shade, consider factors such as your skin tone, undertones, and personal preferences. If you're unsure where to start, consider visiting a makeup counter or boutique where you can swatch different shades and receive personalized recommendations from beauty experts.

Conclusion

Matte transfer-proof lipstick offers the perfect combination of long-lasting color, smudge-proof wear, and transfer-resistant formula. By understanding its unique benefits and following these tips for application and shade selection, you can achieve flawless, statement-making lips that last all day and night. Incorporate matte transfer-proof lipstick into your beauty routine and experience the confidence that comes with knowing your lip color will stay put no matter what the day brings.
