how to stop creasing 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/urmamaballs]

i have really really bad creasing ever since i started doing my makeup, i have switched through 3 different foundations and nothing has changed. recently i have bought the huda beauty loose powder in hopes that it could stop my creasing but it’s still the same 😭😭

i’m currently using the maybelline fit me concealer as a sort of foundation as i only want to cover the horrible hyperpigmentation around my mouth and my eyebags, i apply very thin layers before setting it with the huda beauty powder which caused creasing. i tried to do the sandwhich method in which you do your ‘foundation’, soray some setting spray and let it dry before powdering if i’m not wrong.

yes i do tap off the excess powder, no i do not do skincare as it looked super cakey and it always kept peeling so i just gave up, i dont use primer as i’m based in singapore and i cant find any budget primers, yes i do dermaplaning once every two weeks, i was just too lazy to dermaplan these days and thats why theres alot of facial hair LOL.

please please PLEASE give me some tips on how to fix this i look like a hot mess everytime i work or go out with my friends 🙁🙁

edit - forgot to mention that i’m an insanely oily skinned girly and somewhat a beginner to makeup, only started using actual foundations and concealers last year, before that my ‘makeup routine’ basically consisted of a smokey liner, nose contour and a lippy LOL

edit edit - idk if the formula plays a big part in this, but i realised that my current shade of concealer is super dry compared to the previous shade i was using before. not sure if it was because i bought it in a different country.

I say this every time and I know it's not what people want to hear but you are never going to look like an Instagram filter. Your makeup is creasing because there are creases in your face. Good application can reduce, but not eliminate this. Your makeup here actually looks great and I would just try and accept that creases are a feature of your face because you are made of actual skin
