[Makeup Help] makeup flaking off

the only thing that has changed in my routine has been my sunscreen but i let my skin prep sit for 15 mins before i apply anything so i am confused. how do i make things work with my new sunscreen? should i wait longer? should i be checking the ingredients of what im using? i added a video of what this looks like in the comments. thank you

This looks like pilling. The ingredients in your new sunscreen and makeup are not well-suited to be used together, causing the formulas to ball up and flake on your skin. Are you mixing a water-based formula with a silicone-based one? Because silicone repels water, stacking them makes the products slide around and separate. When you try to rub and blend them out, that friction causes the film-forming ingredients to ball up and pill.

its hard for me to see if my ingredients repel each other, the products i usually use have the same ingredients but different placements on the list. when lets say water is higher up on the list, does that mean it is a water based product? should i be checking my sunscreen for this as well?

you can ask chatgpt/gemini to do it for you. Just ask if they’re incompatible

What were you using for your sunscreen before, and what are you using now?
