“I would say that I need to make sure my moisturizer is fully dry. Otherwise, it could get a little cakey. That's just because it's still wet. Yeah. I I just need it to be fully absorbed in my skin before I would put on any makeup.”

“Yes. So I like to wait till my, until my toner and my moisturizer, absorb into my skin first to see how it will look and if I need to target any areas before I apply my makeup. And it's good because it provides long lasting makeup, and it provides a more smooth application when I do apply my makeup. And it helps even my skin tone and texture before my makeup comes on.”

“Well, I mean, have an oily skin. So sometimes I could get that my makeup feels shiny, but that's on very rare basis. And I don't have any piling. I mean, every product I use is light, so there's no, like should I say heaviness upon heaviness? No, everything is just light so my makeup just sits on my skin normally and I like the way it always is.”

“And then once my face dries, I go in with moisturizer. That is all I use in the morning. And I'm using the goop beauty goop glow seventy two hours supercharged hydrating water cream. Here, we can see that. It has a little spatula that you can use, and the consistency is between a cream and a gel. It's not super creamy, but it's not gel, and it really moisturizes.”

“My skincare routine is perfect on my makeup days. I have no piling or patchiness, no shine, no wear issues, nothing. As long as I wait the three to five minutes after moisturizer before I put my foundation on, my skin is flawless. My routine is is on point.”

“Thin layer for me is, it doesn't pill. It's ready to absorb more of the makeup like the pore, poreless finish products, for example.”

“I want it to not be oily. I don't like oily moisturizers. I just want it to just sort of sink into the skin and just, like, sort of melt quickly. So that way, just looks kinda like you have a second skin on your face.”

“It's a combination, so I will look to make sure there are no white streaks of my moisturizer still visible. And if I see them, I'll continue to slowly blend them in. And then it just feels absorbed. It doesn't yeah. Like, still if it still feels very wet or humid, I'm not gonna put any makeup on until that's resolved.”

“So for me, the only thing that I would change would be the weight of the product. I mean, products shouldn't feel so heavy, especially moisturizers. They tend to be too heavy. I mean, I've had a couple of moisturizers, and one problem I have is the heaviness. So one thing that I would change or I would put in the design of my routine would be light products. So yeah. And that would actually help with my makeup.”

“The case I'd like to wear makeup over it, I generally wait maybe, like, I'd say, or five minutes, and then I'll apply the makeup on top of it just to make sure that it's all fully absorbed into my skin. That way, I don't get the pilling, the patchiness, the peeling. It doesn't really shine underneath it, I would say, because absorbs into the skin very well. So don't really have an issue there. And on top of it, I wear a really good, like, high profile, foundation and concealer so it doesn't really show through.”

“I definitely do think it makes a difference. I think you should do your skincare and then wait, like, ten minutes after or five minutes after till everything is fully absorbed, but it's not, like, dry like, completely dry so that your makeup goes on a little bit better.”

“the moisturizer I use is really important because, like, on some moisturizers especially, I noticed with, like, the CeraVe moisturizer, it's terrible under makeup. Like, makeup tends to, like, pill a lot, a lot of pilling if I use the wrong moisturizer.”

“I would say it's like a hybrid between a gel and a cream. It doesn't leave any residue. A little bit of shine just because you did have that hydration, but yeah. I mean, usually for nighttime, I do, like, my thicker moisturizers. Those ones leave, like, you know, a lot of shine and, like, deep, deep hydration. But for, like, mornings and midday, I always do, like, more of a watery gel formula. It's just easier to layer makeup on top of that.”

“Yeah. Making sure that all of my skin care products are fully absorbed into my skin, I think, really helps make a difference with makeup wear. I do adjust what I use if I'm going to wear makeup. I just make sure I'm really moisturized and that I really fully let everything sit in.”

“And then last but not least, I'll get my moisturizer. So once I have my moisturizer, I'm pretty much set for the day. And right now, I'm just using Neutrogena Hydra boost. Nearly, I'm out of it. But it's been my go to because it's light, It's absorbent, and I'm able to put my makeup on without it caking over.”

“My sunscreen and moisturizer typically impacts my makeup's performance. And so sometimes I will wait a bit after applying the sunscreen and moisturizer to make sure it's really absorbent to my skin, and then I'll pat down my skin with a oil blotting sheet just to get any sort of excess oil. And then I'll use a primer, and then I'll do my makeup just to make sure that the makeup application stays optimally.”

“I would say my moisturizer step is definitely what keeps my makeup staying applied smoothly and performing, like, all throughout the day because my makeup doesn't tend to dry as down as quickly, so it lasts longer.”

“On makeup days, I usually just try to wait to make sure that my skin has absorbed the moisturizer. And, also, on makeup days, sometimes after I put, like, the Eustrine on my face, I may go back and literally just dampen certain areas of my face. So for example, under my eyes, an area where I apply concealer, I will still usually go back and just take the bottled water and just dabble a little bit of water underneath my eyes just so I feel like it can absorb the concealer better.”

“I would want something that kinda locks in the hydration. Something lighter that hacks it that that locks in the hydration. When I go to wash my face, I kinda don't want nothing heavy on it. I just want something light just to wipe off, rinse off. But I want something light, not so much like a thick coating like Vaseline.”

“So I typically don't wait that long. I may wait just, like, a couple minutes just to kind of let it, settle a little bit. Sometimes if I find that it I look too shiny or it's too thick, I will just maybe take, like, my arm and kind of rub my arm on there or rub other parts of my hands or, like, arms to get some moisturizer on there to just, like, remove some of it off of my face. But I typically don't wait that long.”
