This was how good I still looked after 10~ hours in central London. The makeup survived high humidity, sideways rain, heat and the especially heinous hell that is the London underground circle line in summer. I did no touch up's whatsoever.
I'm here to tell you that all the products I'm listing below I highly HIGHLY recommend as a semi oily gal who struggles in summer. These pictures were taken around 11pm while the makeup had been applied around 1pm, it's already been abused at this point and yet it's passable. No touch up was done, no powder reapplied, no lipstick retouched, no mascara reapplied, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was redone once I applied it in the early afternoon. I've listed the items I used in order of when I used them, I hope that helps.

Do you think it was a suitable look for a first date? I was dressed super casual in very light blue denim shorts (just above knee cutoff), a gauzy white long sleeve shirt with a black camisole underneath to hide outline of tits as I've not worn a bra since covid hit ( black camisole seen above), customised cream vans authentic shoes with two tone orange and blue rose flowers. It was a very light colour scheme hence the deep dark red lips. My only dislike is the under eyes where my wet leaking eyes had removed some of the makeup and the end result looks like I have some massive under eye bags
