Am I using the l’oréal serum skin tint wrong?

Everyone kept raving about how smooth and perfect it is, very serum like but it doesn’t seem like it on my skin. Even after moisturising and using a serum, it was looking extremely patchy and the product was almost clotting together. My natural skin was looking much better. Do I need to shave my face for it to look good?

Please help me out, I will be starting college in August and need something that works for me.

Wavy hair routine for 2B-2C low porosity waves (PLS HELP)

Hair type -
oily scalp
dry ends
2B-2C
fine strands
medium density
low porosity according to the water-hair test
frizzy
as soon as i get out of the shower it starts drying from the scalp and gets frizzy, this starts happening almost immediately

So I’ve tried the fix my curls moisture gel and the umberto giannini foam, this picture I’ve posted is from a while back and I’ve only been able to make them look this good a few times. Now I have a few months free and I want to properly curate my routine. I need advice on the following

1. shampoo, conditioner, leave in, mousse, gel or any other recs i can add to my wavy hair routine

2. any tips on how to do it properly, any brush to use? because i’ve been struggling with this for a while now

3. my hair is almost down to my waist now, i really think i can get really good waves but the length might be weighing it down, im contemplating cutting it

4. my hair gets weighed down so so easy and it looks flat from the scalp

5. i also want to focus a lot on volume, and this mousse didn’t really give me any, volume especially from the roots

ive tried to do it recently but it gets very frizzy and there’s no definition in the waves, please help me

Oily t-zone but dry cheeks

So my face used to be normal-dry till last year but over the summer my t-zone got extremely oily. I used to use cerave face wash and cream for dry skin but that doesn’t work anymore and leaves my t-zone feeling really weird. I recently started using the cerave face wash for oily skin. It works great on my t-zone but really dries out my cheeks.

Need face wash, moisturiser, and sunscreen recs for my combination skin. Budget is not an issue. Please recommend something.

This is mainly stemming from my pettiness because in all other exams I scored 90+ and not in this. Should I go for it? Is there a chance that marks can be decreased?
