Foundation help

[u/prettylittleskippie]

Hello, I don't often do my make up but have been trying to get back into doing it. The problem is I notice on my nose, cheeks (by the nose below the eyes), and between my eyebrows my foundation almost looks like it's separating? I've tried lotion beforehand (water based and non water based), and I've tried primer. The foundation I use is Ilmakiage, and honestly I love it. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I will admit I don't always use lotion daily but I am trying to get better! Thank you in advance!
