How do I stop my makeup from creasing?

The creasing has always been terrible. Like BAD bad. I spray setting spray at least 8-9 times every day and NOTHING seems to work.

I’ve tried using less foundation and it helps?? But you can distantly see crease lines on my top lid and crease lines on the bottom. It sucks. I’m sick and tired of dealing with it. It looks cakey and creased and my dark circles still show through just a tiny bit. And I’ve tried plenty of full coverage products over the years. Never tried concealer (can’t afford it on top of foundation).

If anyone could help I’d really appreciate it!

... Read moreIf you’re experiencing persistent creasing in your makeup, you're not alone. Many makeup enthusiasts face the same struggle, especially with certain products that may not work well on their skin type. To help you achieve a flawless finish, consider these practical tips: 1. **Use a Primer**: Applying a high-quality primer can create a smooth base for your foundation, minimizing creasing and enhancing wear time. 2. **Opt for Lightweight Foundations**: Heavy foundations often clump and crease. Try lightweight formulas or tinted moisturizers that allow your skin to breathe, reducing the chance of creasing. 3. **Setting Products**: In addition to setting spray, a fine translucent powder like the BeautyHaul elf PERFECT FINISH HD POWDER can help lock in the makeup and suppress shine, further preventing irritating creases. 4. **Proper Application Techniques**: Be gentle with your foundation and concealer application. Use a damp beauty sponge or a brush to blend seamlessly without adding excess product. 5. **Take Breaks**: If you notice creasing throughout the day, consider reducing the amount of powder or foundation you apply during touch-ups. Less is often more! 6. **Hydrate Your Skin**: Make sure your skin is well-moisturized before applying makeup. Dry skin can lead to patchy, creased makeup. 7. **Regularly Update Your Kit**: As makeup products can degrade or become less effective over time, it might be worth reviewing your makeup stash to ensure you're using fresh, quality products. By integrating these tips into your routine, you can significantly reduce makeup creasing and enjoy a smoother, more polished look throughout the day.
