“Yes. 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. Might just be the timing that I don't wait for the products to dry in between.”

“When it's dry enough. When it definitely looks like it's been dry enough.”

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

“I use less product and wait longer before applying, the next step.”

“I don't really need to know how much to use. I just know it intuitively. But, yes, how long to wait between steps and an order of when to apply thing. When I was first starting skincare when I was younger, It was such a big trouble because I didn't know when I should apply what. So if they just gave a clear instruction list of when you should apply and at what time, it would be great and how much time to wait, it would also be great.”

“Honestly, I'd love something I can glance at in the moment, like quick visual cues that pop up as I go. I'm usually multitasking in the morning, so having real time reminders while I'm applying would be ideal. So maybe something that times the gaps between steps or gives you a quick ready for the next one signal. It would just make the whole process smoother and feel a bit more personal, like the brand is right there with you.”

“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.”

“Well, I wait until it doesn't feel like it's tacky or wet, obviously, and just depends on how bad my week has been as to how long my self talk needs to be. But, usually, it's no more than about thirty seconds or so. It that's pretty fast because I don't apply a whole lot either. I'm assuming the more you apply, the longer it's gonna take for it to dry.”

“I usually wait five minutes, ten minutes. I'd say, like, maybe fifteen, twenty minutes. I'd say about fifteen minutes. I usually wait till my skin feels dry again because I don't know if you can really combine two different products while it's still intact on your face and it's wet.”

“Okay. So, I don't like wasting too much time, so I make use of, this fan. So I just put it on and just move it over my face till it's completely dry, and that usually takes seconds, I mean. And this is very lightweight, so it doesn't even take me up to a minute. I can see, like, twenty five seconds and yeah. Like, right now, I can move on to the next step of my routine. So yeah.”

“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.”

“Okay. So I would start with how it will feel on my skin. So it should actually feel like I mean, I'm just coming out from the shower. It should feel like I I just finished cleansing. It shouldn't feel heavy. And then I mentioned that I use, like, twenty five seconds to dry the toner and thirty seconds to dry the serum. So if I'm combining combining these two together, it could be, like, thirty seconds to dry both. I mean, if I'm adding twenty five and thirty, that's fifty five minutes and shortening it to thirty. I'm just using minutes. Sorry. I mean seconds. So if I'm if I can get if I could replace twenty five seconds for thirty seconds, that's going to be a big improvement. So yeah.”

“Usually around two to three minutes, and I know it's time to move on to the next step when my skin is, dry again.”

“I typically wait about two minutes, a minute or two, to make sure that the next step of the makeup can go on smoothly.”

“Yes. I have no idea if this is how you're supposed to do it, but I just kinda feel and if it's still just, like, a little bit tacky, not fully dry, I'll buy the next product. I want that first product to have its time to sink in, but I don't I don't personally feel like I need to wait super long in between. Again, don't know if that's true.”

“So I'll probably say I wait about five to ten seconds for the previous product to dry before I apply the next thing, like serum and then moisturizer. And I guess what helps me decide to move on to the next product is when it feels, like, somewhat dry. Obviously, like, not fully dry because it's product, but just not to where, like it feels like it's, like, over too, like, too much too damp.”

“I would not really want any kind of visual indicator. I would just like, if the package says wait a minute, then I'll just wait a minute. Like, I yeah. Because, like, if there's some visual indicator and so what if I don't have a minute to wait? So then, like, my skin is all, like, a different color or something because it hasn't absorbed. Like, I would like to have the knowledge of how long it would take, but still be able to make the decision on do I have time to wait that long. The texture, no. I want the texture to always be nice. I don't want it to be some weird texture and then turn nice. It needs to stay nice. The visual, it should look the same. It shouldn't change. So just something on the package that says, hey. Wait a minute. Like, one minute, two minute, however long, and then proceed to the next step.”

“I think I would just want it on the label because I don't know what kind of built in signal. I can't think of anything, but just on the label that shows, like, how long I should be letting it sit on my skin would be nice.”

“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.”

“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.”
