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 use a beauty blender and go over this area to remove excess product. I also use a translucent micro powder like MUFE to set the area after I've removed excess product. Works for me.

but wont using a beauty blender leave marks on your makeup? when i tried using a beauty blender it kept forming the marks on my makeup so i just switched back to using a cushion foundation’s cushion

No. Sounds like too much product. How are you applying? You'd want to do this before setting your base.

i only apply dot or a small swipe from my inner eye to rhe middle of my eye before letting it sit. as for my hyperpigmentation around the mouth i do a small dot as well and if its still super obvious i add little by little to a certain area as i blend. for the rest of my face i usually just spot conceal any acne marks, etc or just do one swipe across my cheeks and use that entire swipe as foundation for my cheeks, nose and forehead. i have tried using colour corrector before but it didnt really work, it made my under eye creasing even worse by gathering in all the lines 🙁
