Im trying to do a low buy and im realizing I might have a weird pattern where every time my makeup looks bad I instantly think I need a new product. Like if my foundation looks patchy I look at primers and if my texture shows thru I start looking at powders or skin tints and somehow I convince myself one more thing will fix it

But now im wondering if maybe the makeup isnt always the issue and my skin underneath is just dry or irritated or my routine is doing too much. I honestly dont really know how to tell the difference between this makeup doesnt work for me and my skin is the actual problem.

Has anyone else realized they were buying more makeup because they were frustrated with their skin and not because they actually needed more makeup?
