Help with cakey makeup? Anonymous 23008
been trying to wear makeup more but i feel like it just makes me look worse somehow? at least for my foundation. it makes my skin look really patchy and obvious that i'm wearing makeup. i tried using different kinds of primers (liquid, the kind that kind of feels like clay idk what to call it) + moisturizer but there are still patches of dry cakey skin on my face. idk if it's a skincare thing or a makeup thing since i'm not an expert on either but if anyone has any advice i'd be very happy to hear it ^^

look up lightweight/ light coverage foundations or look into skin tints or bb creams. Hell even tinted spf can give light coverage.

ancient thread but moisturize your face before makeup. honestly don't use a primer. sometmies if a primer is water based and a foundation is silicone based that can cause issues- take a look at that.
anyways then use lightweight foundation. rub it in with your fingers. make sure your skin is not dry (that youve moisturized well!) and set it with a setting powder. i really like the maybellilne fit me powder. but try out other powders if you have

Have you exfoliated your skin?
I don't mean using a harsh scrub, maybe try using AHA once a week.
