Revealing a routine for makeup that stays put less on dehydrated/oily skin (Great tips to prevent dry skin)

Combination skin is the trickiest type for makeup because it is dry on the inside but oily on the outside.

I used to think that applying a lot of base makeup would make my skin hydrated, but it actually caused it to pill and look cakey. The key is to “reduce oil and replenish moisture.”

 

1️⃣ 3 minutes after washing your face is the golden time

You need to apply toner immediately after washing your face to prevent moisture evaporation.

I thoroughly soak a cotton pad with toner and wipe my face to refine the texture, then apply it once more with my hands to help with absorption.

The key point here is to gently press to aid absorption, rather than patting.

 

 

2️⃣ Apply moisture thinly 2-3 times

If you apply a large amount of essence or hydrating ampoule at once, it feels like it just sits on the surface.

Take a pea-sized amount, spread it thinly, and apply it once more after it is completely absorbed. Doing this will significantly reduce inner dryness.

 

3️⃣ For creams, 'oily products' are prohibited.

Rich creams inevitably break down by the afternoon. Use only a small amount of a gel-type or light moisturizing cream, applying it almost lightly to the T-zone. It is best to lightly layer a little more only on the cheeks.

 

4️⃣ Allow 5 minutes for absorption before makeup.

If you apply foundation immediately after your base, it will cause it to cake. Please allow at least 3 to 5 minutes for absorption. I draw my eyebrows first during that time.

 

5️⃣ Apply a small amount of foundation + pat with a puff

Rubbing with a brush causes dead skin cells to flake off. It applies much more beautifully if you pat small amounts onto the skin with a damp puff for better adhesion.

Don't try to cover it all at once; applying thin layers multiple times is the answer.

 

 

6️⃣ No powder at all, only the T-zone

If you apply powder all over your face, it looks dry quickly.

Apply a very small amount to the brush and lightly touch only the nose and forehead.

After switching to this routine, the pinching around my nose in the afternoon has almost disappeared.

You will really relate to the saying that dehydrated oily skin looks prettier the less you apply. 😊
