Makeup Fixes: Tips & Tricks to Avoid Common Powder Problems
How to Get Flawless Skin Without the Cakey Look
Common Makeup Mistakes with Powders
• Over-applying powder can lead to a cakey, dry finish.
• Using the wrong type of powder for your skin tone or skin type.
• Applying powder on unprepped skin (dry or oily).
• Reapplying too often throughout the day.
• Not blending properly around fine lines or textured areas.
How to Avoid the "Cakey" Look?
• Prep your skin with moisturizer and primer before makeup.
• Use a light hand and build up gradually—less is more!
• Choose the right face powder for your skin type: matte for oily, hydrating for dry.
• Apply using a fluffy brush or damp sponge for a smooth finish.
• Always blend and buff—especially around nose and mouth areas.
Pro Tip – Lock It In Right
• A good setting technique ensures your makeup lasts longer without creasing.
• Use the best setting powder to lock in foundation and concealer— especially under the eyes.
• Set your makeup only where needed (T-zone, chin, under-eyes) to avoid over-drying.
• Finish with a setting spray for a skin-like finish.
