How to get perfect foundation? no streaks and patches?

I've tried a lot of different foundations like mac, revlon and now max factor long lasting which I like the best. Yet still I get streaky foundation and dark and lighter patches on my face which looks unnatural. Any tips or tricks?How to get perfect foundation? no streaks and patches?
my mom had the same problem until i gave her an elf foundation brush. it's a US$1.oo. It's thinner than most foundation brushes so it can maneuver in to those smaller areas like the inner corners of your eyes. The elf counter girl calls it their foundation and concealer brush (even if elf has a separate and different concealer brush) because it's that tapered and the thinnest foundation brush i've seen.


i prefer that brush than sponges or my fingers. sponges are a waste of foundation and fingers, well you get the streaks.

Certain foundations/concealers, especially liquid, could cause streaking, blotchiness, and an unnatural look on your face. What I would suggest is using a mineral-based concealer. I like Physician's Formula brand makeup (Mineral Wear is the name of it). Other brands, such as Revlon, have mineral makeup too. This way, the minerals don't clog your pores, they can't blotch or streak your face, and it feels weightless, where as liquid foundation or other pressed compacts feel like you have makeup caked on. I would recommend getting a shade as close to your skin tone as possible; however, if you can't, I would go one shade lighter, because darker makeup is unnatural. Mineral Makeup could be pricy; however, it's worth it.
I use a cream/mousse foundation that is the same as my skin tone, possibly even a little darker. then, to make it go evenly onto your skin, i use an ultra sheer lotion and blend it with the foundation in my palm until the desired tint of foundation is reached. then put it on evenly the same way you put on lotion


because it is diluted you will not be able to notice blotchiness on your face from areas of thick foundation





hope this helps! trust me, try it!:)
i personally use mary kay, which is great, but it can be expensive.. but whichever kind you choose, pick a shade and dab a little on your finger, then try applying it right on your jaw bone, and your cheek, then blend it to see if it looks like you're wearing a mask.


also, if you know any mary kay representatives, they can take you to a class, where they teach you how to do all your make up, and it looks really good too.





hope i helped.(:
if u apply it with a sponge dampen it before applying the mascara to dilute it just enough so it wont be too much of a harsh color but not to much that it doesnt offer coverage


when u got the mac did they check which color matched best?


if not ask them to next time


and when u finish apply foundation apply some powder foundation to help it set
What i do is i put my hair back in my headband and then really look at where im going with the foundation so i dont get it in my hair or eyebrows


also it might be streaking from sweat or somethingg.
Try a different application method. It can be streaky if you use your fingers or a foundation brush. Try a stippling brush
dampen your sponge/brush and then apply liquid foundation
Try setting it with a translucent powder :]
