That's a description of my skin, and for me, I've found some solutions.... ++
Different foundations work better with different tools/application methods. ++
That's on par with most brush sets (actually cheaper). My bronzer & blush brushes are $48 each—
ITA with those below, the IT brush mentioned is awesome BUT++
Honestly, nothing beats fingers. I do like the artis oval brush 8 though (still prefer fingers)
I have a LOT of brushes. Currently, my fave foundation brush is the oval ones ++
Liquid foundation: Oval brush (Artis knockoffs), cream ecotools Wonder Cover.
Game changer makeup alert, though it’s not for everyone. But WOW. FINALLY. rop
The Artis palm brush. Hated it SO MUCH and couldn't figure out how to clean it. Threw it away. GRRR
I would get something Chanel. Have you tried the water tint? +
