Looks from the last couple days, just recently got my new foundation and trying to learn how to use it! On the first try it was too cakey so I watched some YT videos to learn better & got some nice brushes. Did much better today! (Pictures 1-4 is today, picture 5 is the previous cakey day haha) I still need to practise but I’m improving! Using less product and putting the foundation on the back of my hand and mixing it first, before using the brush to put it on my face made such a difference vs using a damp beauty blender. I need to put on more blush and bronzer but I was in a rush lol. Also I learnt from the videos to use a concealer…
