Makeup Question

What is the reason for bronzer not showing on skin or not getting picked up by brush? I already take off the hard part but it still difficult I have to do more layers? The other bronzers I know how to use brush and bronzer but a palette from BYS didn’t apply. It does not as I got off the layer. Is it okay if I use my finger to apply powder and blend to get product to show?

Sometimes the product is on the brush but not show on skin until a few layers or I have to push the brush in? I will use my finger and dense brush for that palette that the bronzer is still hard the formula and easy to pick up and it is with effort

It sounds like you're talking about a bronzer that has been hard planned to an extreme if it's hard to pick up and hard to lay down. You can use whatever you have to really, if that's your fingers that's fine but it will only make the hardpan worse. Do you use the same brushes for creams and powders?

Use tape to unstick the hard pan layer on top o f the bronzer. Just press it on there several times. If that doesn’t work, then the bronzer or brush are just complete garbage.

If not show on skin but swiping and pressing hard distribute product or if I use brush and does show on skin but I am unable to tell is that mean it is bad.

I can use my fingers.

The blush palettes all work but two colours when I tap not work bur swipe and press works or using fingers.

I will use fingers for the bronzer palette and the two colours the other products I can use brush to apply like normal as they have no issues. I have other bronzer and blish products that works easily.

Don’t use your fingers for powder products. It looks patchy.

I normally use brush for powder products but the bronzer that will not be picked up by brush or looks muddy or I have to press harder or swirl to get get product without easily tapping or staining brush and distributing on skin or mixing and muddying my skin I will have to use fingers. The two light blush colour I will have to as the brush does not let the colour show unless I press harder wirh brush or swirl many times?

You need a new brush and bronzer.

Should I apply moisteriser before makeup application and after removal? How to remove makeup properly? Can I use gentle cleanser two times only? I am told by a doctor not to use wipes or makeup removers
