The only product I use with any color is my Erborian BB Cream, and I use very little. I apply it with my fingers after my skin care which is also minimal. I put it on with Laura Mercier setting powder. And for some reason, I get subtle orange / brown streaks around my hairline, lips, and eyebrows. How can I stop this ???

If you’re applying and blending with your fingers, there’s a chance it’s setting more heavily around those areas and the buildup is causing it to appear darker and aiding in the oxidization when that mixes with your natural skin oils. I would try using a beauty blender first, but if that doesn’t help, you may need to look into your skincare ingredients to see if they’re interacting somehow.
