I've finally had a eureka moment with foundation. I have tried and tried but always ended up looking like I had a freaky scary cakey mask on. I had pretty much given up on it but I finally managed to put it on and get it to look normal tonight!
After moisturising, I have discovered that if I put blobs of foundation on the back of my hand instead of on the brush or sponge and work it onto a foundation brush using my hand as a pallette I get a uniform skin like finish. I've obviously been applying too much foundation previously. Eureka!
I have been trying nearly all my life to get that right ha ha! I am a dozy cow sometimes!

This is how I do my BB cream. Spread on back of my hand then pick up with the brush and dab / slight strokes around my face. Then after brush on a light layer of powder. But I do use toner, moisturizer and a very light fruity primer first.

I don't use a brush to apply. I use a cosmetic sponge to dab all over. Then go back over and dab with a brush to give it a more natural look.
Glad you figured it out. The secret is always to figure out what works for you.
Congrats!

I don't use foundation. I just use a tinted moisturizer. Its simple effective, and better for my skin.
