Is nars concealer better or tarte? I’m new to makeup and i need help picking

I hate the way it looks this is before the setting powder but after it just looks the same just matte. My whole routine is i wash my face with la roche posay foaming cleanser, I use the milani 2 in one foundation and blend with a powder puff going from the bottom of my face to the top. I then use elf micro fine setting mist and then do my blush and contouring. More setting mist, And then I just pat fit me pressed powder going from under my eyes to the rest of my face. After a few hours it looks like a bunch of dots under my eyes and alot of creasing on my smile lines. I don’t even bother doing makeup with my forehead cause it looks horrible.

I went to walgreens to pick up a new bb cream. I didnt even realize its straight up liquid until i got home and tried testing it out when it just squirted liquid out and it got on my bed lol. I was expecting more of a cream… is it supposed to be like this or should i get something new?

If anyone has any good recommendations for any BB cream with light coverage plz lmk. Something to just even out my skin tone (redness) without having to do my whole ass makeup routine lol.

I got a rude comment from someone from this sub. Which made me realized a lot of people are not aware of the scams with gift cards that’s been going on just wanted to let everyone. NO you do NOT have to get a stranger to tell you to buy a gift card in exchange for money 😭🥹🤣🙃 times have change! I will link videos explaining the scam

I love a "mermaid tear" 🧜‍♀️🤍

I’m in a position where I’m struggling with not being able to work very many hours, and my ex and his friends stole things from me that I have no way of replacing. Specifically my makeup and hygiene products. My makeup bag was my life, and my the only reason he took it was because it was so important to me. He stalked me, tried to have me kidnapped, and hacked my phone to tear me down on every level possible. Lately I’ve been getting threats of posting my nudes on websites and I’ve been told by others they’ve seen them, but I still can’t find where. I was looking at random acts subreddits to just try and see if I can rebuild a little. I’ve lost so much weight and my hair has been falling out. My makeup and products, or what little I have left, are what make me feel like a person again and I have no confidence without them right now.

I’m not sure if this sub still does gifting and it won’t let me access and of the info on the subreddits about page. I’m open to anything right now. If anyone might be able to point me in the right direction that would also be amazing. I would appreciate any help. Even if you could make recommend some cheaper makeup that I could afford that looks good that would help.
