  ok, so your routine is moisturiser, oil control primer, foundation & loose powder?

  Foundation you apply with a sponge or a brush?  If sponge, maybe you were rubbing instead of applying the foundation?

  mine is moisturiser, sunblock then foundation.. can't use powder...

  i prefer to use fingertips because others will make it flaky...

  i have not much fate with bb creams bcos the shades are always too fair for me
  
  i tried a few BRTC ones and i find the oil control not very good

  i dab concealer instead of "rubbing" it across the area
  
  i prefer powder form
  use brush or puff and dab on the area u want to cover
  for spots, i use my fingers
  then pat some loose powder on it

  Ya, u can just use bb cream, followed by loose powder to set ur makeup. U can skip ur foundie.

  i just bought skinfood aloe sun bb cream and have tried a couple of times. so far quite ok la, can't feel the benefits of bb cream yet.. but u may give it a try since it's sort of a highly raved bb cream. but i think bb cream's coverage is not very good, so u might wanna consider that too.

  bb cream IS a foundation (plus sunblock plus concealer)
  a convenient all in 1 base

  i like lioele...good oil control and finish

  My sister bought this by mistake or she gave it to me as I gift.  After that I used this:

  

  and many ppl complimented my complexion.  I kinda liked my skin and the ladies working in my ex company said that my face was glowing and the colour was natural. I think there is some ingredients in this product to make the skin better, cuz I was quite happy with my skin condition that time.

   

  After some time, it ran out and so I decided to buy another bottle, but the Clarins sales girl backside itchy, persuaded me to buy this one instead:

  

  I used and used and used.... didn't see anything fantastic about it.  I couldn't wait to finish the whole bottle. 

   

  After that, on hearing my makeup artist's recommendation, I decided to check on MAC.  And since then, I have been using this:

  

  Very happy with it.
