Hi I’ve not worn make up for over a year due to been unwell. I would like to start wearing it again. I’ve got Estée Lauder foundation. I’m not sure whether to take the blusher, lip liner, concealer and lip oil back to boots. Is there better products out there.?
I also need a primer and setting powder or spray. Is Huda baking powder good. Would make up would people recommend please, I’m in my 40s with combination skin, neutral undertones

thank you in advance

I think you should find a local makeup artist to provide you a makeup lesson and some product recommendations. I've done these a few times over the years and it's always been very helpful, especially for providing you a realistic routine that you can actually do yourself without their help.

I have Estée Lauder lipsticks and love them. I also have some Estée Lauder blusher which is good too.
Are there better products? Well possibly but I do rate the make up. Why not keep the products you have and use them.
I have a Laura Gellar primer but I’m not too convinced that it does any good. I can’t recommend a setting spray as I don’t use it.
Dd uses Pixi setting spray if that helps.
