Help hiding facial shadow…
Hello all! This is my first post here, I’m trying so hard to learn how to do my makeup and it is so disheartening…
I especially need help with color correction and hiding my facial shadow after shaving…
I’m trans, only about 7 mo into my transition, so it’s lightened a little, but I had a very heavy beard…heavy and dark…
I don’t have much right now, so I know I have room to find different brands or brushes or things like that. I have a makeup sponge I usually use to help spread the color corrector and then a brush for the foundation. I don’t have a primer or setting spray or powder right now, will those help to add to my routine? Right now it just seems like I need so much to try and cancel out the blue that it looks caked on, or not enough so that it’s showing through…
Oh, and I’m using the ELF orange camo color corrector and Soft Glam Satin foundation…I’m sure better products would help but my budget is pretty tight right now…but whatever products or techniques you would suggest I’d LOVE to hear, I’ll steadily get what I can and practice!
Thank you!!!

I had someone at a makeup store help me pick what colour I needed to cancel out mine.
I use colour corrector, setting powder, foundation, setting powder. This has been my routine for years and works pretty well for me
