    If you have any specific areas that are a different texture than the rest of your face — dry patches or areas with larger pores — a really good moisturizing primer can help smooth those out. If you have fairly even skin, then you can typically just use moisturizer, then foundation.

    How you apply brow products really depends on what suits your face shape, how you like your brows to look and what brow product you use. Look up a bunch of videos and pictures on what brow shape is best for your face shape.

    It's a skin-colored makeup product that covers the entire face, the purpose of which is to cover pores, spots, and other skin imperfections. It's a basic item used by most people that wear makeup. It can block pores and cause acne, though, so some people choose not to wear it.

    Am I the only one to prefer using my clean fingers? I find it melts the foundation and helps it bind with the skin, not the fine hairs on my cheeks, thus keeping it from looking like a mask

    It really depends on what skin product you use. BB and CC creams are very light compared to foundation. Foundations have more coverage, but they're heavier.
