I want2 have no flakes or dry spots when i put on foundation!?

mostly around my cheeks and nose area!I want2 have no flakes or dry spots when i put on foundation!?
I HATE those.





Take a shower or wash your face really well before you put on your makeup. Then, when you are done, put Cetaphil on your face. It's a light, creamy kind of toner that you don't need to rinse off and it's great for moisturizing while being non-oily and gentle. When it has dried somewhat (like, start getting dressed and by the time you're done, it'll be ready) put your makeup on.





I'm using Covergirl's mineral power foundation that comes with the little kabuki brush and it's great. If you're still getting flakes, try dabbing and blending just a little bit of Cetaphil over your makeup to help smooth it out.





Also, give your skin time to breathe. Go without makeup when you are home and moisturize when you can.I want2 have no flakes or dry spots when i put on foundation!?
it's called a good moisturizer hunny. go get some estee lauder or something :)
you need to use a moisturizer 10 mins before appliying your foundation.
i have that problem too


usually what I do is I get a non pore-pore clogging lotion and I put that on first. After it dries put the foundation on. You may find your face is shiny afterwards because of the lotion.


What I do is put some powder on it and PRESTO! The dryness is gone.


Keep in mind though, if your face is really dry it may take a few days before your spots are gone completely.
try puttin moisturiser on just befor foundation
You can use a moisturizer before you put on make up, and wash your face morning and night with this face wash called Cetaphil it keeps your skin extra soft but not oily, (it's what models use)
Try covergirl tru blend. I have it and it works great. Try blending it in with a dab of water on a cotton ball.
try using a thinner powder and foundation.








try going into mac or sephora they will help you find the make up that is best for your face...also they will give you a make over and make you feel all pretty and girly !








good luckkkk!!!

Wear moisturiser with it and also use a liquid foundation and try not to put any powder on afterwards.
exfoliate..it gets off dead skin and smoothes your face. and then add a moisturiser..a non greasy one would be better
first, use moisturizer and get the liquid foundation. rub it in smoothly and gentle. that should help.
Either find a tinted moisturiser, or use a good moisturiser such as Simple replenishing moisturiser which is oil free, wait for it to soak in, and then apply foundation.
i have the same problem, use a good moisturizer from Clinique, it's yellow and it's fabulous. exfoliate a couple times a week, but mainly in that area and you will see results after a week!
Get some good moisturizer.
then put on moisturizer first before you put on the foundation.
Go to the body shop or a store like it, and buy a facial scrubbing sponge or cloth. Use this with your face soap to exfoliate every day. Its good to do this in the shower after washing your hair, because then your face is wet and the skin will exfoliate more easily (and without too much scrubbing which can irritate your skin).





Then after that use a moisturizing lotion or cream .. I reccomend dove, ponds, oil of olay .. usually they cost $10-15. Be sure that its got SPF 15 suncsreen in it. This really helps protect your skin from the sun's damage (even in the winter!). Also, cream is thicker than lotion. I have really dry skin so I use a cream.





Then apply your foundation. If you've still got flakes then mix a tiny bit of your moisturizer with the foundation. Keep in mind this will dilute the foundation a little bit, so it might not go on as strong.





If you still have dry skin (and only do this if you don't easily get acne, like me) you should wash your face at night, apply your lotion/cream, then take a little dab of Vaseline and rub it evenly on the palms of your hands. Then wipe yoru hands on your face, focusing on the driest areas. In the morning your skin will feel so soft! I do this about once a week ..





Some underlying causes of your dry skin could be the weather (in winter the air is very dry, sucking out moisture from your skin. Winter is usually the time when everyone has their heaters on full blast, and the heaters also serve to suck your skin dry. Try putting a humidifier in your bedroom / wherever you sleep or spend the most time. It adds moisture to the air.





Also, try different foundations. I forget what the ingredient is called, but something in SOME foundations serves to completely block your pores from breathing (this doesn't mean it causes acne/zits, just that moisture cant get into your skin). Usually the people at the body shop (esp the manager) will know what you should use. A good foundation can really change your skin. The foundations at the body shop are $20-30.. but if you just ask her what the ingredient is that dries your skin, then you can write it down %26amp; go buy cheaper foundation at your local pharmacy or whatever that doesn't have that ingredient.





Good luck! =)
mix ur foundation with liquid moisturiser suitable for ur skin..and then apply on face..
Get a moisturizing foundation so you won't dry out your skin.
mousturize with a good FACIAL lotion and then apply concealer. Hope i helped!
