I end up washing it off and re-moisturisering and trying again. But then I find it goes all funny because the moisturiser is still there..... help!!Flaky foundation patches!!?
i had the same problem but then i started using mineral make-up. i asked my friend whos a make-up artist and she gave me some really good tips and now im fine when using it.
first exfoliate to get rid of any dry or flaky skin. if you are going to be doing this every day get a super gentle one like liz earle as not to damage your skin.
allow your moisturizer to dry and absorb before applying your make-up, this may take a few minutes.
always use a non-mineral, oil-based moisturizer that will not clog pores. if your moisturizer does not absorb into your skin, neither will your mineral makeup.
use a setting powder as a base all over if you have oily skin...it will help absorb the oil naturally.
using special enhancers such as ';polished'; will refract light and make your dark under-eye cirles disappear. also use in the corner of eyes, mouth, etc. to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
mineral make-up should be applied in light layers. if you feel you need more coverage, keep applying light layers.
i have found the least drying mineral make up to be loreals true match minerals, if you follow these tips it might improve the look of it. also you could try using a deep moisturising cream before applying make-up something like elizibeth ardens eight hour moisturising cream. good luck.
hope this helps
xFlaky foundation patches!!?
I get the same thing and now i only wash my face at night, and use Aveeno or Cetaphil moisturizers because they're very gentle on your skin but do the job right. If your skin gets irritated easily, only wash it at night to take off your makeup then apply the moisturizer, but not too heavily or you get the funny feelin on your skin. Then in the morning, apply more moisturizer[don't wash your face], wait at least 5 minutes for your skin to soak it up, and apply a foundation like Maybelline's 'Pure Makeup' or CoverGirl's 'Clean'. If rubbing and blending the foundation irritates your skin, try a mineral foundation from Maybelline, bareMinerals, or L'Oreal's Naturale powders.
Also, you might find it helpful to exfoliate once a week(St. Ives is ok but even the sensitive formula can be rough, so I suggest using a beaded exfoliator from a brand such as Aveeno or Clearasil, or pHisoderm) and use a clay mask(like the purple one from Mary Kay) every other week.
MOISTURIZE at night.
EXFOLIATE in morning.
Just concentrate on dry patches. or you will end up w/ messed up oily or damaged skin if you do this daily.
Put moisturiser (lotion) on the night BEFORE. Then, in the morning, you wont be flaky or cakey. Moisturise at night!!!
You need a skin care program that exfoliates. every one needs to get rid of that dead skin.
Perhaps your moisturiser is too rich. Try applying without using moisturiser.
You need a good foundation make then.. like Mac or something. Also maybe see what works better, powder or liquid etc. Keep moisturising before though.
I use YSL perfect touch, doesn't flake or look patchy and leaves skin looking flawless all day long. Also has an SPF in it

I have the same problem. I put a thick layer of moisturizer over my dry patches wait for about 30 mins then wash your face free of moisturizer that usually helps me.
i agree a good foundation makes all the difference. Mac cosmetics are excellent, try it :)
try clinique liquid foundation.. it is great
wow stop buying foundatin from grocery stores
