Help!! AM skincare & makeup
Our take
Hey, gorgeous! It sounds like you're in a bit of a makeup pickle, and we’re here to help! Your skincare routine is solid, but let’s chat about that makeup base. If your foundation is settling into lines and feeling cakey, it could be time to tweak a few products or techniques. We’ll explore how to achieve that flawless, radiant finish you’re dreaming of, ensuring your makeup enhances your natural beauty without the unwanted dryness. Let’s dive into those glam solutions together!
Currently I’m using the below products, but I feel like my base doesn’t look very flawless. Makeup sinks into lines around my eyes and dries up, and I just think it looks a bit cakey. I’m in the uk for context!
Skincare:
Wash face (water in morning)
Medik8 Vitamin C
Hyaluronic acid OR Olay Super Serum
SPF - Ultra Violete
Then makeup:
YSL (the blurring primer)
Nars Radiant Long Wear Foundation
Cream bronzer
Concealer
Laura Mercier setting powder
Powder bronzer sometimes
Charlotte Tilbury setting spray

- Struggling with my makeup drying out after a few hours of wear - is it my products or my technique? Looking for recommendations!Hi everyone! First time poster here, please give me some grace! I have fairly dry skin but it is easily managed with my current skincare routine, meaning that my skin does not appear to dry or flake throughout the day when I am not wearing makeup. It is only once I apply makeup that I notice dryness setting in after only an hour or two of wear. This dryness mainly occurs under my eyes, upper lip, and near my smile lines. I would love some advice on whether my products or technique might be the problem, and what I could swap with! I plan on doing my own makeup for my wedding, which is one month from now, so I want to dial in my products ASAP. ***Here is my skin prep routine*** -Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser -Medik8 Crystal Retinal strength 6 - 3x weekly (only at night followed only by my moisturizer/eye cream) -First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads (when needing to exfoliate) -Byoma Hydrating Milky Toner applied with Byoma Phyto-Mucin Serum (generous amounts of both) -Bubble Power Wave Super Hydrating Moisturizer -Bubble Star Dew Hydrating Eye Cream I wait for everything to absorb before starting with my liquid makeup products. ***My Makeup Routine*** -NYX The Face Glue Face Primer OR ELF Power Grip Primer -Foundation: L'oreal Paris True Match -Concealer: Tarte Shape Tape -Setting Powder: ELF Halo Glow OR L.A. Girl Pro Setting Brightening Loose Powder (I never "bake" and use small amounts) -Setting spray: Urban Decay All Nighter (the moisturizing one in the yellow bottle) -I apply all wet products with a damp beauty blender -I apply my setting spray after wet products and after dry products to lock everything in. I DO NOT use a "finishing spray" after setting spray (ex. ONE SIZE by Patrick Starrr On 'Til Dawn) -I have tried applying setting powder with both a small powder puff (tapping the excess off onto my hand first) and a small fluffy brush (tapping off the excess) with both of my setting powders. Both powders and techniques give me the same drying result. -I have tried the same routines with and without both of my primers, with the same issue occurring either way. Blush and bronzer are not a concern for me since those areas do not seem to dry, so I am leaving those products out. ***My concerns/questions*** Could my foundation or concealer be the main cause of this dryness, even with hydrating skin prep? Are there non-drying alternatives to my foundation and concealer that you would recommend? Is there a setting powder alternative that will not contribute to the dryness? Will a finishing spray followed by a setting spray help from preventing changes in my makeup? (I am considering buying the Skindinavia Bridal setting spray and an undecided finishing spray if so). Any other routine, technique, or products you would suggest? I really appreciate any advice you can give. I have put a lot of effort into my skincare the past few months leading up to my wedding day to prevent drying and I am feeling lost as to why my makeup still ends up looking dry only after an hour or two of wear. I have never been great at makeup and it honestly confuses me, so I am desperate here. Thanks so much! submitted by /u/IllGoose6308 [link] [comments]
- 25 and my skin looks ROUGH, help!!Hi! I am a 25F with skin that shouldn't look as bad as it does. Wrinkles on my forehead, lots of texture, and dark spots from acne. My skin is hard to read in terms of oily vs dry but it is acne prone and definitely can get dry at times and oily at other times. Right now, this has been my night routine for a few months. It hasn't been great in eliminating lines, spots or texture but my skin has felt more hydrated. - Round lab foam cleanser - Anua peach toner - Prescription tret - Cetaphil daily moisturizing lotion for dry sensitive skin I am ashamed to admit it but in the morning I usually just throw on SPF 50 and call it good. I have been doing some research but I am getting kinda overwhelmed with all the info I am getting. Would these be better routines to match my needs? Do any of these products interact? Night: - Ma:nyo pure cleansing oil - Vanicream cleanser - Byoma milky toner - Prescription tret/The Ordinary Azelaic acid suspension 10% cream, alternating every other day - Avene Cicalfate protective cream Morning: - Vanicream cleanser - Byoma milky toner - SPF moisturizer submitted by /u/ranch518 [link] [comments]
