Wonderful picture.
I do a very simple makeup routine every morning using concealer, a light bronzer (used on cheeks and eyelids), mascara, and a nude lip pencil – takes less than 5 minutes. It does help me feel somewhat “put together” for the day.

I am not a great with makeup either. I watched some Stephanie Lang videos on YT to learn how to do better eye makeup with hooded eyes; this really made a difference in my confidence. I’ve found that Missha’s Magic Cushion compact is quite easy to use and not too heavy (ordered online). Stila cream blush, easy to tap on with fingers (ulta). Tarte fawn or neutrals for eye shadow, use the darkest brown instead of eyeliner (ulta). Loreal black-brown waterproof mascara (ulta). I usually dont use powder but Ulta’s pressed powder works well when I want to set the foundation better. As a fair, blonde with a slightly gold undertone, brown shades look best on me. Black liners and mascaras are too harsh.

Good Luck!
