Why does makeup float?

For modern women, putting on makeup has become an essential skill. Makeup can effectively cover up some of our physical flaws, and then highlight our charm, making us more attractive. Applying makeup also requires skills. Some people experience powder floating when applying makeup, which makes them very uncomfortable. So why does powder float when applying makeup?

Causes of foundation powder floating:

1. Not applying toner or moisturizing lotion before applying foundation.

2. Apply powder directly without applying foundation.

3. No spray was used after applying powder.

Tip 1 to prevent powder from floating: The skin must be hydrated to prevent makeup from falling off, so you should do basic moisturizing before applying makeup every day. The correct steps are wash your face → toner → lotion, and then apply makeup products. After applying toner and lotion, you need to gently press your face with both hands to promote the penetration of the toner. If your skin is severely dry, it is recommended to spend 5 more minutes applying lotion, which will be very helpful for applying makeup.

Tip 2 to prevent powder from floating: Applying powder directly after skin care is the easiest way to cause powder to float, because powder itself has relatively strong oil control and modifying effects, so the powder is coarse and it is easy to cause powder to float if used directly. Before applying powder, you need to apply liquid foundation or cream foundation as a base. When the skin is dry, a foundation cream with a finer texture is actually more suitable. It is more durable and adheres better than liquid foundation.

Tip three to prevent powder from floating: After applying powder, spray moisturizing spray on your entire face 20 cm away from your face. This will make the foundation effect more natural and the powder will not fall off easily. I would like to remind everyone that you must choose a spray that contains moisturizing factors or glycerin ingredients, so that it can prevent powder from floating. Ordinary sprays will make your skin drier.
