Dr Vandana Punjabi, Senior Consultant, Dermatology and Cosmetics, Nanavatai Max Super Speciality Hospital, speaking with indianexpress.com, shared, “ Healthy skin is the foundation of flawless makeup. To avoid cakey makeup, it’s important to start with a good skincare routine that suits your skin type. This means cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturising your skin regularly to keep it healthy and hydrated”.

She added:  “When it comes to applying makeup, there are a few things to keep in mind to avoid a cakey finish. First, make sure to use products that match your skin tone and blend well. This means using a foundation that matches your skin and blending it out with a beauty blender or brush. It’s also important to avoid layering too much makeup, as this can lead to a heavy, cakey look. Use a light hand when applying products like foundation, concealer, and powder, and build up coverage gradually if needed.”

Further, she shared a “few common mistakes” that can cause cakey makeup. “These include using expired products, not blending enough, using too much powder, and applying products too quickly without giving them time to settle into the skin,” she concluded.

By following these tips, you can achieve a natural, flawless makeup look without the cakey finish!
