Hey there,
For “the makeup situation,” you mentioned in your post that you were open to any advice or feedback. If people don’t like the shiny dewy look (which I love) then they should wait 10-15 mins before applying makeup.
The tallow does eventually settle into the skin nicely. I find that tallow is a nice layer in my makeup routine and makeup sits well on top of it (so do oils, like Rosehip, and extra sunscreen if you choose to wear it).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Sonya
