Cakey makeup is a common issue that many of us have faced at some point or another. It’s that undesirable, heavy, thick layer of foundation that sits on top of the skin, highlighting every crevice and pore. It can make you look older and can even ruin your whole makeup look.
What’s the Reason Behind Cakey Makeup?
There are several reasons why foundation can appear cakey on the skin. Some of the most common reasons include:
Using the wrong foundation
One of the main reasons for a cakey foundation is using the wrong type of foundation for your skin type. If you have dry skin and you use a matte finish foundation, it will tend to highlight dry patches and look cakey.
On the other hand, if you have oily skin and you use a hydrating foundation, it can slide off your face and look cakey. It’s important to choose a foundation that is suited to your skin type to avoid a cakey finish.
Applying too much foundation
Using too much foundation can lead to a cakey finish. It’s important to start with a small amount of product and build up the coverage gradually. This will help to avoid a heavy and thick layer of foundation on the skin.
Not blending properly
Blending is key to avoiding a cakey finish. If you don’t blend your foundation properly, it can sit on top of the skin and highlight every pore and crevice, resulting in a cakey appearance.
Make sure to use a stippling motion to blend the foundation into your skin, starting from the centre of your face and working your way outwards.
