Bethany Cameron+Followhow to stop foundation from showing darkness underneath too quicklyI've noticed how some people’s foundation (and mine..) wears off and reveals darkness or discoloration underneath, even with strong setting spray. It happens more often than you think, especially with skin tints or lighter coverage. Here are a few ways to actually fix it: 🪞 Use an orange color corrector just on those spots before applying foundation. (even drag queens cover beard stubble like this. it really works.) 🪄Go for higher or full coverage foundation if hyperpigmentation is a concern. Skin tints will almost always let that darkness peek through. 👀 Check your shade match. A foundation that’s slightly warmer can help counteract cool-toned discoloration more effectively. Tried any of these tricks? What worked best for you? #Makeup #FoundationFix #BeautyHacks #Beauty 20Share
Elizabeth Phillips+FollowMy Skin Always Ate My Foundation—Until NowI used to do my whole makeup routine in 10 minutes flat. It looked efficient—but my face told another story. Flaky cheeks. Cakey chin. Patchy nose. I thought the answer was more: more serum, more moisturizer, more foundation. But it wasn’t. Turns out, my real enemy was impatience. Now I wait—let each layer sink in. I swapped heavy cream for one pump of lotion, and I treat my face like damp canvas, not soaked paper. I press product in with a dense puff, working from dry zones outward. And I use my hand as a palette, spreading foundation there first before gently transferring it to my skin. And powder? I tap it on my hand before my face. No more dust storms. Just soft, even skin. If you’ve ever watched your base break apart by lunchtime, try this. And tell me: what’s your anti-cake trick? #beauty #makeup #foundationfix40Share
