Hello all
I use makeup forever, Mac, Lamik, revlon, and most top brand foundations, however when I use my primer n foundation then contour my makeup has a cakey look to it. How do I stop this from happening please help

Different foundation!! I like lancome photogenic lumessence. And I apply it with the small elf stippling brush.

Use a lighter coverage foundation or if you are comfortable enough, a Bb cream.

You are applying too much. Start using half of what you normally do. Those foundations are highly pigmented. A little goes a long way. Start with a pea sized amount in the center of the face and blend out.

Hey Janice
1. I apply my givency Mr Matte primer 2. I do my eyebrows 3. I then do my eyeshadow 4. Then I apply my foundation 5. Then I use concealer to begin my contouring after that I use Mac bronzer n blush then my Powder and in the house it's fine but outside I can see its cakey where I highlighted and it's not cute at all then I get uncomfortable for the rest of the day
