don’t sleep on your local drug stores for products. cvs, walgreens, giants, etc. i recommend going in person so you can properly observe what you’re looking at. go play in sephora to test a brand and then buy it somewhere else if you can find it cheaper. i think basic products are primer, foundation, concealer, and contour which people usually use eyeshadow for as back or gray can give that dead look. however you CAN always just use a concealer like https://a.co/d/0JmGxur make sure you invest in a setting powder so you don’t crease. eyeshadow is good for blending and creating shadows. we all have different skin and different problems so you’ll have to play around with dif formula, products, and brands until you find what works for you. what i suggest may not work for you so you figure out what the issue is and change product accordingly, however popular brands are LA girl which you can get at beauty supplies most notably, nyx which is a drug store brand, and maybelline has a good foundation. since you don’t like a cake face, maybe search for buildable make up something that starts off light and you can add on as you go.
