- what's your go-to base makeup layering routine?hello!! im trying to figure out a good base makeup layering routine and am open to trying new methods! what order do you usually use (primer, skin tint or foundation, concealer, cream blush, setting powder, etc.)? specifically, i've been trying a 'concealer first and then skin tint' method, but im curious which order to put first to cover blemishes/dark spots the best? I’ve heard both ways and I’m confused about what actually works best without lifting product or looking cakey! thank you!! submitted by /u/yeo_jaydd [link] [comments]
- Skincare routine - How do I do with these products?37F, skin prone to clogged pores, still don’t know what exactly is the order of applying these products. I have the following I know: Cleanser - obvious Toner - I use it each time after washing my face to keep the sebum under control Moisturiser - comes last But then there are these: Vitamin-C (or any other kind of serum) - before moisturiser but then there’s an uncomfortable layer on my skin Sunscreen - comes after moisturiser or instead of it? And what if you apply foundation? I’ve recently started using it and normally do it after moisturiser but what about sunscreen? Does it have any impact if I apply it under the foundation? I don’t have any specific night care. Just once in a blue moon I apply argan oil. Also, do you use cleanser every morning (nights are obvious) or is just water enough? I feel like it isn’t especially because of removing the remains of moisturiser but also feel like it’s kind of too aggressive to my skin. submitted by /u/foreveronthemove [link] [comments]
- Makeup always looks a little "cakey"Hi everyone! I've been on the hunt to find products that don't make my face look cakey after a couple of hours of wear. The routine I've found that has made me look the least cakey is: - Moisturizer: La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer - Sunscreen: Beauty of Joseon - Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics - Primer: NYX Face Glue - Foundation: LAWLESS Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Foundation - Powder: Innisfree Translucent Mineral Powder - Setting Spray: Morphe Continuous Setting Mist It looks good for the most part and it's the most transfer-proof I've tried but it still isn't perfect. What can I do to change that? Does anyone's makeup ever truly look seamless? lol I believe these are all water-based products. I've also started incorporating the Ordinary 5% lactic acid once a week to hopefully exfoliate a little but is there anything else I can do? (My skincare routine is usually just Youth To The People cleanser and moisturizer) submitted by /u/SliceSuspicious8182 [link] [comments]
- Help! Makeup is separatingI used to wear foundation all the time and after years of struggling with it and dealing with acne I gave up. I find makeup extremely overwhelming, but yesterday I decided to try again. I went to Sephora and the saleswoman walked me through a very lightweight routine that she said was good for acne-prone skin. It's not even technically foundation, just tinted sunscreen, so I hoped there wouldn't be an issue. I talked through every step with her and followed her instructions exactly. I had such high hopes and was devestated today to realize how cakey it looked after four hours of wearing it. The routine is as follows: -First wash my face and moisterize with Cerave night cream -Ciele SPF 50 tint and protect tinted sunscreen (the lady said I didn't need primer with this routine) -Tower 28 concealer on undereyes (this is the only thing I picked myself) -Makeup by Mario bronzer -Saie slip tint setting powder In the evening I use differen for my acne and cerave night cream again. Does anyone have advice for me? The lady at Sephora also suggested setting spray but I am worried that the more products I put on the worse it will get. I also have naturally big pores and everything settles in them. submitted by /u/No-Tie-4903 [link] [comments]
