Why Your Makeup Looks Cakey (And the Skin Prep Secret to a Flawless Finish)

If your foundation never quite sits smoothly no matter which product you try, the real fix starts with what is happening beneath the surface.

Q: Why does my makeup look cakey?

A: Cakey makeup often results from dry, flaky skin or insufficient hydration beneath foundation. Regular exfoliation, dermaplaning, and a proper moisturizing routine create a smooth base that allows makeup to apply evenly and last longer.
