Why Foundation Looks Bad Up Close — and How to Fix It | Elena Rachitskaya

Contact | PR Inquiries [email protected] In this video, I’m breaking down the real reasons foundation emphasizes pores, dry patches, flakes, under-eye creasing, and texture in real life and exactly how to fix it. If your base makeup always looks cakey, separates around the nose, clings to dry patches, or makes you want to wash it off immediately, this tutorial will completely change the way you apply foundation.
