My foundation keeps getting streaky when I apply it. I don't know if its because I move the foundation too much. I don't know. Help please :)

How do you apply it? Fingers, brush, sponge?
Also, try putting a primer as a smooth base for your foundation to go on. :)

Whoops ignore that primer tip..fail..lol.

Depends on how you apply your foundation. I use sigma's f80 brush. First I "pat" it on to let it sink in then I blend. Or I use a damp beauty blender then "pat" it on for an airbrushed finish. I also use benefit's 15 hour primer and my foundation is not streaky.

You need to work in sections. So spread some on your cheek, blend it in with a brush or your fingers and apply foundation. Then apply the primer on your other cheek and repeat the steps until you finish your whole face.

Let the primer settle and dry for a few minutes before you apply foundation. I was having the same problem with my foundation and primer letting it sit for a few helped a lot.

The instructions say to work in sections because it dries so fast.

@lauren That's what they told me in Sephora. And that's what I've been doing.

Maybe watch a few YouTube videos that demonstrate application? I know AprilAthena7 uses the 15 hour primer as well. I can't think of other YouTubers at the moment.

Then blend the foundation out with a brush before applying your foundation. Is that what you are doing too?
