Why Oils Create Better Dewy Bases
Flaky patches, caking, oxidation—bad base makeup doesn’t just look uneven, it fails functionally. But not all base issues are the same. “Caking” and “flaking” may sound alike, yet stem from entirely different causes—and require distinct solutions.
For dry skin, the core issue is often lack of both water and oil. Dehydrated skin creates rough, uneven texture; oil-deficient skin lacks a barrier to hold product evenly. The shortcut? Controlled oil infusion before makeup.
A thin oil film boosts hydration retention, fills gaps between skin cells, and improves powder adherence—creating a smoother, more even surface. Oils also scatter light uniformly, enhancing radiance without heaviness. Bonus: antioxidant-rich oils like turmeric seed reduce oxidative dullness throughout the day.
Apply a small amount of oil before foundation—massage until absorbed, leaving a soft, balanced finish. Pair with oil-compatible formulas for best wear.
This is not about glow—it’s about structure, longevity, and skin logic.
