Why does my foundation look flaky and how to fix it?

Okay so I am getting older and decided to start using foundation. I went and got some clinique foundation. I wash my face. but on face lotion, and I apply the foundation after the lotion dries with a foundation brush. But it always looks flakey! I tried using less foundation and more but nothing is helping. Any advice on how to get my foundation to look smooth and not cakey or flakey?

Answer #1

Its most likely the texture of the foundation, there isn’t much you can do about it. All i can suggest is buying a more expensive product. You’ll most likely get this problem with all liquid foundations.

Answer #2

Try a different product or follow up with powder. Maybe try priming your face first? YouTube has awesome tutorials, look some up, it should help. :)

Answer #3

You should try using a new foundation or using powder after you apply foundation.

Answer #4

powder after makes it worse for me.

Answer #5

Any foundations you would reccomend trying?

Answer #6

You mite need a primer. it smooths the look of makeup and makes it last longer. alot of makeup brands sell it. if worse comes to worse just wear concealer on wat u want to cover so it dosnt flake as much

Answer #7

The truth about foundation is that they clog your pores, set into your wrinkles, and give you acne. You should find an alternative to foundation like lotion and eating right. That’ll keep your skin healthy and looking young.

Answer #8

The best place to test foundations is in a department store. To test a color, apply and blend stripes of the three closest shades of foundation to your jawline. Then, find some natural light and see if you can still see the makeup. A perfect match will be invisible on your face.
