make up tips?

Question

Hey all. I know this isn't a "health" question, but does anyone know how to do basic foundation/powder applications? I practice ALL the time, but every time I do it, it looks cakey, fake, and just plain wrong. Any tips I should know? Thanks! That's me with just liner and mascara. (There is a filter so my skin looks better lol)

Answer

It's trial and error with foundations to be honest, what works for one person with a similar skin type to yours, might not work for you! Some foundations apply better with a brush, others with a beauty blender, you just have to find out which works better on your skin. I find that the Smashbox Studio Skin foundation works best on my oily skin and I don't even have to set it (which I probably should) and it still lasts all day haha. I've lost count of how many foundations and concealers I've been through and tested out!

Answer

Following. 
I have oily skin but during cooler weather it's dryish, so i fine my makeup is flakey.

Answer

I just use my fingers to rub in my liquid foundation and then I use a blush brush to lightly blend in powder foundations. I use an angled brush for eyebrows and a round brush for eyeshadow. Here's a close up pic of my eye shadow and foundation the other day.

Answer

Check out YouTube tutorials! That's how I learned :)

Answer

Makeup tutorials are a god send

Answer

I'm not wonderful with makeup. But have you tried different foundations?! Some make me look like it's just sitting on top, looks cakey. Some is oily. It's hard for me to find one that works! 2 that aren't bad for my skin are Sei Bella and Younique.
