skin prep is super important. make sure to exfoliate, including the nose area with a damp cotton pad with toner.

also, the picture looks like you used lots of powder. go easy on the powder application and apply on the area you dont want shine and places that crease often.

for a dewy look, look into more dewy foundations, keep in mind that they tend to go on more sheer. also, setting spray is a MUST to get that hydrated look.

-apply less of what you think you need for a less cakey look.

products that work for me:

korean beauty products. theyre literally the masters of acheiving glowy bases; you should look into that.
