Why does my makeup never last?

[Anonymous]

I do my skincare before, i use primer, i use setting spray yet it never holds? i really dont understand, i look awful when i come home at the end of the day

Sometimes is less more. Try use just necessary stuff without too much primer, let your skin breathe. Especially for nightclubs where it's hot you can't wear photo shooting makeup.

You may not have high quality stuff or just the wrong stuff for your skin.

I'm sorry to hear that! It's frustrating when makeup doesn't last. It might be worth checking if your skin type matches the products you're using. Sometimes, the wrong primer or foundation can cause issues. Also, try using less product and setting your makeup with powder. Choosing the right formula for your skin, whether it’s oily, dry, or combination, can make a big difference, too. 😊

it's normal for makeup to look worse at the end of the day, your skin oils start to desintegrate it a bit, especially if you have oilier skin. to keep it looking fresh all day, you're actually supposed to retouch it. you should buy blotting paper, hydrating fixing spray (not matifying. the type of spray that's ment to freshen up your makeup during the day) and loose translucent powder, and take a little pouch of makeup to school and every couple hours check it and fix up. in the oily areas blot it with the paper, then reapply lightly the foundation or concealer if it was removed a bit by the blotting then put a bit of loose powder to lock it in. if during the day you start to feel your face feeling a bit oily, spray the hydrating spray.

you could also get longer lasting high quality skin makeup, that can hold longer.

I actually have pretty dry skin, my makeup keeps flaking and cakey. Adding setting spray ontop of that makes it worse.

definitely get hydrating fixing spray, that will help avoid the flakey cakey thing. you might want to try getting more hydrating primer, and maybe change foundations

Okay thanks i try that, i actually use a cc-cream instead of foundation, is foundation better?

Try putting on lotion after the primer.. Maybe you have dry skin
