How to Fix Cakey Makeup

Imagine you are ready to head out with your full face of makeup, and suddenly realize that your makeup looks cakey! What horror! You are absolutely horrified at the patchy, textured skin, the pores and fine lines that look so intense on your face, and you have no clue how they ended up that way as you had put in your best to do your makeup. You may blame your full-coverage foundation, as the blame always falls upon it, however, it isn't always the culprit, and cakey makeup is often the result of how you're applying products, the way you are slathering them on top of one another, and the techniques you use.

Basically, cakey makeup is not the result of using too many makeup products, but the result of using too much of those products. Many will refer cakey makeup to foundation that looks suffocating - literally, and is thick, heavy, and noticeable. Along with that, cakey makeup is a catch-all term for uneven, splotchy makeup that creases, slides around, and flakes on your face, and ends up giving it a look that is anything other than flawless.

At times, the reason for cakey makeup is also your actual skin, if its dry or too oily, or skin that hasn't been prepped properly beforehand. So what now? Your makeup is cakey and you have no time to do a full face all over. How do you fix it? Here a few pro tips to refresh cakey makeup and how to prevent it the next time:

Setting Spray

A setting spray becomes an absolutely must-have item when you are done with all your contouring, bronzing, setting, and highlighting. It is an essential when your face looks like a powdered donut, and you need to melt all of that powder into your skin. A setting spray does not only lock your makeup into place, but it also helps take away any powdery residue and sets everything, giving a more natural and flawless finish.

Blend It Away

The key to an even foundation application is not just rubbing it on, but blending it all the way until it is absolutely perfect. If the foundation looks cakey after you've applied it, then the reason is that you have not blended it enough. Use must use your damp Beautyblender to gently press on your foundation, or BB cream, or tinted moisturizer into your skin over and over again until it has basically become second skin, and that takes about three minutes. This proper blending and stippling will remove any harsh lines and make sure every inch of your face is even and flawless, and does not end up cakey.

Hydrate Under the Eyes

At times, even if you have followed all the under-eye baking steps religiously, and yet your concealer looks crusty and chalky, the reason must be a lack of hydration, A pro makeup artist's tip is to use a face spray or toner that contains squalane to hydrate your fine lines and dissolve any powdery residue. The correct way to do it is not to just mist it all over your face, but to spritz a little on a clean makeup sponge, dab it a few times on the back of your hand to tap off the excess, then lightly press it over your cakey concealer to fix the dryness without ruining all the work you did.

Oil It Up

If you have dry skin, unfortunately it has a way of ending up being cakey and flaky no matter how much prep you do. If your bronzer looks muddy or your foundation looks chalky after you have completed your makeup, you can give it a hydrated feel by adding in an oil. At the end of your makeup routine, just drop a few dots of face oil onto the back of your hand, dab your beauty sponge in it softly, then very lightly stipple it over the dry parts of your face. This trick will help all your products become one with your skin, and give you a supple look.
