My face always looks chalky!

Question

Whenever i use foundation, concealer, and powder, it really brings out the dry patches on my skin, the little tiny hairs, and when mid day rolls around and the oil kicks up, it looks like my face is about the fall off (melting). I tried to use less, but i just ended up with the same result, how can i make my face look natural instead of like i am trying to hard??

Answer 1

*agrees with the above answer*

also, the products you're using might be the cause of the whole chalky look thing. you might want to swap brands and see if you still get the same effect. one more thing - i don't know how you apply the products, but what you USE to apply them makes a lot of difference. if you're just using your fingers you might get a really thick layer ergo achieving the chalky result. and if you're using a sponge it might be the same. i think brushes are the best as you can achieve a smooth thin layer and that may help as well. :)

Answer 2

try using a good mousturizer and then try applying primer while applying less facial makeup=)
