“Yeah. Sometimes I notice it feels a little bit tacky, so I almost wonder if waiting would help.”

“Maybe it is that the eye cream didn't dry fast enough or I didn't wait for the eye cream to dry. Because usually when I do my makeup, I start with my eyes first, So I don't give it much time for it to sink into my eyes. So maybe that is what makes it patchier pill sometimes. I don't use a heavy hand when applying makeup, so I don't think that it's the makeup amount that is doing the patchiness on the pilling.”

“It usually doesn't show up in my skincare, but it shows up as soon as I start to blend my foundation in. Then I'll notice, like, little pills, and then I have to restart.”

“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.”

“Other times, it's pilled really badly. Little bits of the product, like little circles all over your face, and it doesn't feel good. It doesn't feels like you're wasting product. It's not even it's not even going into your skin or doing anything. So I know it's not working.”

“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.”

“It should be a moisturizer that goes, like, really, really well under makeup. Like, if I had a moisturizer like that, I would buy it. And So, like, yeah, the before would be just, the plushie makeup, being in the car, having the makeup pill, the splotchiness, and just having to fix it over and over and over again because the moisturizer you put on underneath just wasn't doing it.”

“I live in a relatively humid environment in the summer in the Northeast Of The US, so, I can be influenced by the humidity. If it's a very humid day, I will generally have to have a bigger lag time between when I will put on my moisturizer and then I would put on my makeup because my skin is just wet, and the moisturizer isn't necessarily really absorbing well. In winter, it's less of a problem in lower humidity and, yeah, I would say, late fall through through spring is fine. But, yes, if there is humidity, I have to adjust the time of how I'll prepare.”

“Okay. So this is a great question. I used to get quite a bit of pilling from the SPF because so I figured out by looking on the back that this is a sunscreen that doesn't work as well with I guess, I can't remember if it was an oil based or water based, one or the other. And it was peeling my concealer, but now I switched to concealers. I can show you too. I use my favorite concealer ever is the Fenty Beauty concealer, and I'm so pale. This is in there, like, 100 c, so, like, the palest shade in cool. And it I'm not gonna put it on, but when I do, it doesn't pale at all. It's the perfect base to go under. I just didn't care with my powder. I don't wear a lot of powder, and it's perfect.”

“It makes it feel like the makeup's just ready to slide right off.”

“I think it's a little bit of everything. But for me, it's the amount of product being used as layers and reducing the layers help, with prevention of the pilling.”

“If that perfectioning primer isn't dry and I apply my second primer, like, my sunglasses go, it almost is like it just sweeps it to the you know I'm saying? And it's a very this is already a sticky product, So it's almost like caulking for a wall. No other way to describe it. It's very just caked and not smooth or not able to just absorb in anywhere. But once you wait for it to dry, that is not a factor. It's so easy to put on and so easy to use after that.”

“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.”

“Usually, if I feel like it's still on my skin, like it's a little bit wet, then I'll wait a little bit or get a fan or just fan myself in between just so it has time to go into the skin to absorb. And so when I put the next product or when I put on makeup, it won't look a mess and creased and not applied well.”

“Okay. So for me, that would be a quicker drying time. So I would love it to be a product, or the issue I would like it to address would be drying time. You know, I would love if it takes a shorter time to dry up so I could use my other step or just move on for the day.”

“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. And I also it shouldn't be too clogging. The thing I hate most of the moisturizers, especially as an acne prone person, is that if it's too clogging, if it clogs the pores, it just it hurts. So yeah.”

“So as much as I try to keep it simple, there are days when I just feel like I don't have that much of a time to apply, like, everything that I need. Like, especially when it comes to the sunscreen, it's something that I try to do more diligently. The one thing that I want to say, I don't like it quite as much is, like, the white residue that the sunscreen leaves on my skin. I feel like I kinda have to, like, just really wrap it in. And sometimes when I don't do a good job of doing that, like, I see, like, white patches on my, face, and it's something that I need to be more, like, careful of, like, whenever I'm in a rush in the morning. I mean, this is, like, one of the more frustrating things that I've encountered.”

“The moisturizer is pretty thick, so maybe if it had a little bit of a thinner consistency, that will make it easier because it won't take as much time to rub it into my skin.”

“Usually, I find new products by browsing and looking around, reading the bottle. If it has an interesting claim on the front, like fast absorbing, that would be very helpful.”
