Avoid cakey make-up: How does a mask-like foundation come about?
Many women know the problem, but how does cakey makeup even happen? Most of the time it depends on the amount of product being usedused as a foundation. If too much is applied, the excess will settle in the wrinkles of the facial skin. That's why it's better to apply a thin layer first and then apply another layer later if necessary. This increases coverage and keeps the complexion looking even.
The top 5 tips for a flawless complexion
1. Apply moisturizer half an hour before makeup. This provides the skin with moisture, protects it from environmental influences and smoothes it. Fine lines are visually reduced.
2. Shake the liquid foundation before each use so that the pigments and active ingredients combine. This is the only way the make-up product will have an even color and you will have a flawless complexion.
3. Spread the foundation from the center of the face outwards. Apply to problem areas with redness or pigmentation. Distribute the product with a Kabuki brush. The brush absorbs exactly the necessary amount of make-up.
4. Go over the foundation with a beauty blender sponge to blend the makeup and remove excess foundation. It is best to slightly moisten the sponge before use.
5. Fix the make-up with a little setting powder. Apply the powders with a flat foundation brush and work them into the skin. Again work from the center of the face outwards. Remove excess powder with a large brush.
