Thinking my face but better since we will be going to amusement parks and sightseeing. Want to look put together but not spend a lot of time/effort!

Zinc powder! Date bait (if it works for you). A sheer lippie for a little color and moisture...I like Maiden, Foreplay, Aria or Precious. ALGs probably aren't good if you'll be carrying them around in the heat. I would probably take...a cream concealer, cream blush, zinc powder, mascara, and lippie of choice. That way you can scribble on the concealer and blush, blend, use the powder all over to set, brush on mascara, and take the lippie with you! Hope that helps!

I wear tinted moisturizer with SPF50, topped by zinc powder or I use a facial sunscreen that is SPF100 and mix foundation powder one to two shades darker into it as the base of my make-up. (I go with foundation because often the higher SPF facial sunscreens are so so white that it lightens my skin tone on my face by a several shades.)

For the water park, I'd suggest getting a sweat proof/ waterproof SPF face lotion and mixing foundation into it or you can just dust your regular shade over it about 10 seconds or so after you put it on so it sets in.

Waterproof mascara
Blush of choice
Lippie
Eyeshadow primer (I often put on the primer, then dust it with foundation and go)

I have zinc powder in a little powder carrying compact that lives in my little travel backpack that we take everywhere so I can dust my face as needed. I burn quickly and badly.

I generally do foundation, or zinc powder, mascara, and a bright lippie if I want to be glamorous, or a sheer lippie if I want low maintenance...I wear sunglasses so I skip anything complicated on my eyes. This time I'll probably do a wash of one of the cream shadows just for funsies.

Use a 50/50 mix of ULTP and Equalizer as foundation.

Set with a 50/50 mix of Date Bait and Sheer Zinc.

Skin is perfect and sun protected.

Favorite lip gloss and done!
