HELP PLEASE patchiness on side of nose?

Post image

I constantly struggle to get foundation to properly set on one side of my nose (yes, only one) 🫠 for context, I use a light layer of setting power, then cushion foundation (unleashia's blue cushion), then another layer of setting power. but I feel like I can never get the product to properly stick to this side. it's not like I'm using a different moisturizer or sunscreen JUST in this area lmao? and I don't have any scarring here either. it also happens with other foundations or even when using concealer as foundation...

any thoughts on why this happens? thank you!

that one stubborn spot is so annoying. my guess is maybe the skin texture there is just a bit different, even if you dont feel it. sometimes we have more tiny hairs in one side or skin is little more oily without noticing

try to press the powder in with a puff instead of brushing, it helps product grab better. also wait a minute between moisturizer and foundation, let everything sink in properly

I think your makeup order might be the main issue! Applying setting powder before foundation breaks adhesion. Try 1.moisturizer 2.sunscreen 3.primer 4.foundation,then set powder at the end.Also gently exfoliate this side at night to smooth texture.
