The Most Annoying Thing

Yes I think sometimes do get to in a hurry putting on their makeup. I mean why bother if you are not going to try and make it look like you don't have it on. I always do my makeup in a well lit room with a big mirror. Normally my bathroom. I only wear it once or twice a week when I feel like it and have time to put it on nicely.
As for your dry skin and not going on right, just put some lotion on before. Face lotion works best. And make sure your foundation is not older than 3 months. That will make it cakey. All makeup has an experation date. Not literally on it but how long to keep them.

I just never seem to get my eyebrows to look good. They are very light and very thin. If you have dry skin use alittle moisturizer under your liquid foundation. Good Luck.

i suggest that you should moisturizers so that you won't have a hard time making your foundation look more even. i have the same concern as your and glad that i was ale to overcome it by using moisturizers and a foundation that suits to my dry skin.

I hate it when that happens to, and what I use if I don't use moisturizer is a primer, I got a green tinted one at Sephora a while back, it was a bit pricey but I love it because it creates a smooth base for my foundation, and the green tint helps hide some redness. My biggest make up pet peeve is when my eyeliner wont stay put and starts to smudge, giving me a bit of racoon eyes look, I hate that because it makes me look really tired.
