FOUND TIP UPDATE. fixed separation and caking issue
Posted here about a week ago. My foundation was separating and caking around my nose while I was applying it. Got some good tips in the comments and managed to fix that!
I didn't change my skincare nor products I originally used. I did implement some extra products and steps tho.
I waited 15min after skincare. Then. I applied smoothing primer with same base as my foundation (elf poreless putty primer). Waited a bit, applied thin layer of power grip elf. Waited for it to dry. Then, mixed my foundation 50:50 with my moisturiser and applied a thin layer with flat brush in sampling motion. Applied rest of my cream products. Sprayed my face with milani "make it last original", waited for it to dry. Then I powdered my face as always with easy bake from huda. Applied rest of powder products. Then one more spray with milani, waited for it to dry again and finished off with loreal infallible fixing spray.
I still have natural texture but no more caking or separation. My base looks and feels amazing (at least in my opinion).
Thank you all again for useful tips, appreciate it!
(and yes, my lips are hella dry, don't mention that 😩)
