Greetings everyone,
Foundation is a perfect makeup product whether you want to enhance your complexion or conceal your flaws. It helps in minimizing the pore size and gives your skin an even tone and radiance. However, application mistakes and aging skin may make foundations settle into the fine lines. Thus, here are 8 tips to prevent the foundation from settling into the fine lines.
Cleanse the skin properly
Not cleansing the skin properly imparts it with an uneven finish that obviously makes the foundation settle into fine lines and pores. A proper cleansing routine before makeup application is a must. It helps in removing excess dirt and oil and also makes the skin even surfaced. Cleansed skin does not let the foundation get accumulated into the fine lines easily. You can try Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Mousse Cleanser to have a clean, fresh skin.
Make way for chemical exfoliants
Chemical exfoliants can make your skin smoother and younger. And when the skin is smoother, foundation won’t be able to settle into the fine lines easily. Not to forget, chemical exfoliants help in sloughing off the dead skin cells and increase the skin cell renewal turnover. Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant seems like a good option.
Do not forget to moisturize
Not moisturizing your skin before applying the foundation will give your skin a rough texture. The lack of moisture in the skin will make your foundation look blotchy and let it settle into the fine lines as well. If your foundation gets easily settled into the fine lines opt for an extra hydrating and plumping moisturizer. Estee Lauder Advanced Time Zone Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Hydrating Gel Oil-Free is a great choice.
Always use a primer
A lot of women underestimate primers and tend to skip them. A good primer fills up the fine lines and pores to provide you an ultra-smooth base to work with. Hence, primers not only make your makeup last longer but also prevent your foundations from settling into fine lines. Lotus Makeup Ecostay Insta-Smooth Perfecting Primer and L.A. Girl PRO.Prep HD.High-Definition Smoothing Face Primer work for every skin type.
Opt for a lighter formula
Foundations with light formula do not get accumulated into fine lines because of the facial movements. Opt for sheer to medium coverage foundations as they will not get settled into the fine lines. If you have to use a full coverage formula, try to mix it with a tiny amount of moisturizer to make it thoroughly blendable and creaseless. Nothing can beat Maybelline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Foundation for an effortless look.
Do not go overboard with quantity
While dealing with the problem of foundations getting settled into the fine lines, always try to use lesser quantity than usual. The more product you opt for the more it will settle into fine line, wrinkles and pores. Thus, make sure you don’t go overboard with your foundations and blend them well.
Blend with the right brush
Blending the foundation thoroughly is quite a necessary step to make it look seamless and prevent settling. If the foundation is blended well, it will get evenly spread over the area and the chance of it getting accumulated into the fine lines will become lesser. The market is loaded with a lot of good flat foundation brushes, stippling brushes etc that provide a smooth and even finish.
Set with a powder
With the help of a setting powder, one can achieve a creaseless foundation look. While picking up a setting powder, go for a lightweight option. If your setting powder is not lightweight enough, it will make the foundation heavier, which will make it settle into the lines. To avoid streakiness try to press the powder with the help of a brush over the foundation. This will keep your foundation intact and prevent it from settling into the fine lines. Kat Von D Lock-It Setting Powder has turned out to be highly effective.
