When applying foundation and encountering powder build-up, besides reapplying liquid foundation, there are actually some small ways to avoid the problem of powder build-up and loose powder and make the base makeup collapse. The focus is on acne, acne marks, and pores that you want to cover And dry skin is also instantly visible. Let us learn how to use foundation! In fact, when applying foundation, what can I do to save the foundation from sticking to powder and floating powder!
In fact, in most cases, it is because of the wrong way to apply the foundation, which leads to floating powder and powder sticking.
The following 6 misunderstandings of foundation makeup let everyone re-understand their small habits of applying foundation and foundation makeup, so as to avoid the problems of makeup removal, acne, acne scars and visible pores!
1 Reduce powder accumulation and floating powder - insufficient skin care before makeup makes the base makeup dry and cracked
For a flawless makeup base, it is very important to prime the skin.
Q : What is floating powder?
A :
Floating powder means that after the foundation is applied, the powder of the foundation looks separated by oil, like floating on the upper layer of the skin, or accumulates in the pores, making the pores look larger.
Primer is to moisturize before makeup. If the skin is too dry, it is likely to cause problems such as chapped powder and dandruff, and the base makeup may be chapped or covered with dry lines.
Q : Why is there floating powder?
A :
You must know that the amount of oil secretion is different in different areas of the face, and the T-shaped area has more secretion and the cheeks are drier. There are also different considerations when applying makeup on different parts. For example, different makeup tools and makeup methods will also affect the smoothness of the base makeup. If it looks drier, it is prone to chalking.

2 Reduce powder accumulation and floating powder - skin care products and cosmetics need interval time
The amount of moisturizing skin care products or base makeup products before applying makeup should be sufficient, and the time between applying skin care products and cosmetics is also very important.
If the ingredients of the previous skin care product are not fully absorbed before proceeding to the next step, it is easy to cause the base makeup products to compete with each other, and the problem of floating powder and powder sticking will naturally appear!
3 Reduce sticking powder and floating powder - no partition makeup
When applying foundation, many people will directly put foundation on the face and then pat it with a puff.
In fact, it is easy to make the thickness of the base makeup uneven due to the different times of pushing the foundation with the puff. Sometimes the foundation is pushed away when the foundation is half dry, which may also cause the problem of powder sticking and floating powder.
4 Reduce sticky powder and floating powder - apply a small amount of foundation many times
Applying foundation "a small amount and many times" can help reduce the appearance of powder sticking and floating powder. The face can be divided into four areas: upper, lower, left, and right. Each time, just take a soybean-sized amount of liquid foundation and apply it evenly on the same area, and then pat it evenly. This method will help make the foundation more submissive.

5 Reduce powder sticking and floating powder - using wrong tools and makeup techniques
Base makeup tools and techniques are actually the habits that many people are most likely to fall into.
If the skin is prone to sticky powder and floating powder, you can temporarily not use the brush to apply the base makeup, so as to reduce the friction of the skin and cause dandruff and floating powder on the base makeup.
6 Reduce sticking powder and floating powder - multi-use press, pat makeup
For a better fit, use a wet makeup sponge or cushion puff to apply foundation in pumped motions.
The direction can be applied from the center of the face to the outside, so that the luster of the foundation is concentrated on the center of the face. Finally, when setting the makeup, apply powder with a light pat and press method, which can make the base makeup more thin and not sticky. Can ruin base makeup by tugging.
