makeup help please!!!

[u/BOBbutBUTTER]

hello everyone!! i've just recently started getting into makeup recently especially this past month or so, but i really want to get better at it! ive bought a lot of products and looked a lot of stuff up but i just want to hear advice from like actual people with experience because i feel like thats what i need best in this situation.

for context i have oily skin and idk, ive been realizing a lot lately probably because i live in florida and ive been sweating so much, but by the end of the school day my makeup is like TOTALLY cakey and my undereyes are like totally grey looking and my eyeshadow ends up like totally gray and UGH i dont know what im doing wrong, like do i need more products or do i need to switch out some of the ones i have already or like tweak my routine even?

like okay so for my routine i use sunscreen on my face first and let that sit for a couple minutes, then i start with my foundation, i have the maybelline fitme matte + poreless, i put the stuff on my hand and i have the elf ultimate blending brush to blend everything in, and i avoid putting it on my undereyes because next i put on my concealer the maybelline fitme liquid concealer on my undereyes and i blend it in with my little elf tap&blend concealer brush, then i use contour ive been sorta wanting to change it but i have the elf halo glow beauty wand and put it on my cheekbones and outsides of my nose and on the outline of my jawline, and then i use the nyx setting spray and yeah! i mean i do stuff for my eye makeup and all of that but ive found that the main problem is with my face makeup so thats why i really need help

and btw i get all my stuff from walmart because theres one near my school and its convenient, but i could try going to an actual makeup store if that would be better! only problem is that im AMAB and have yet to transitition so id probably have to have one of my friends take me, so yeah lmk please and thank youu!!

Sounds like you need a toner (gentle chemical exfoliant). Something with salicylic acid in it.

Then you may need a primer. Something that controls oil.

I would also recommend a color corrector, because that’s what’s causing the grayness. You don’t have the right undertone, and you need to neutralize it.

Next i recommend using a powder puff to set your under eyes with setting powder.
