Hi, just recently my concealer has been looking patchy I think is the word? I apply moisturizer, benefit professional primer, foundation, then my concealer. I do exfoliate, and moisturize so I have no idea why its doing this! It looks absolutely horrible and I don't know what to do. its only this way on my cheeks, not when i highlight my chin or forehead. Any ideas?

Is your skin dry in that area?

I use Makeup ForeverHD foundation. I do notice I have the fine hairs too but I think something else might be the problem bc I've always had those hairs and its suddenly looking this way. also you can see redness where concealer just won't apply there.

I don't think my skin is dry in that area... I make sure to moisturize everyday and exfoliate 3 times a week.

How do you apply the makeup? In order to get a flawless foundation finish, I wet my beauty blender. I apply dots of foundation on my cheeks, chin, and forehead, and then I dab. Don't rub, dab. My foundation is never bad now.

I do the exact same thing. I make sure my beauty blender is wet and I lightly tap it on my face. :( I don't know what I'm doing wrong with it.

It looks like you've got some texture going on there. You may possibly need a richer moisterizer. You may need to blend your foundation in a little better, maybe with a small flat top kabuki swirling the brush in little circles clockwise, then counterclockwise to really buff the foundation into your skin. Also it's possible your primer is not working well with your foundation. Which Porefessional are you using, the original silicony one in the tube? Because that one can ball up if you use too much or when used with incompatible foundations. Also, make sure your foundation has completely set before applying powder. And when applying powder, don't buff it in. Either lightly dust with a fan brush or if you use a powder brush, just dab or press it onto.the skin
Don't buff the powder in, it has a tendency to move and sometimes cake up certain  foundations.

I would try using a damp beauty blender. Using the damp beauty blender will make it look less cakey.
