Why does my makeup look cakey under my eyes?

Cakey makeup is usually caused by applying too much product or not blending the product properly. If you are using a heavy foundation or concealer, try using a lighter product and blend it into the skin using a damp sponge or brush. Additionally, avoid using a powder to set the makeup, as this can create a cakey look. If your skin is naturally dry, use a moisturizer before applying makeup to prevent the product from settling into fine lines and creating a cakey look.

How do you make under your eyes not cakey?

To prevent your under-eye area from looking cakey, you should use a hydrating eye cream to moisturize the area and create a smooth base. Then, use a light coverage concealer to cover any dark circles, followed by a light layer of powder to set the concealer. For a more natural look, use a damp makeup sponge to blend the powder in and make sure it looks even. Finally, finish with a hydrating eye cream or a light layer of setting spray to ensure that the makeup doesn’t cake.

Why do my under eye bags look worse with makeup?

Under-eye bags can appear worse when wearing makeup due to the contrast between the shade of makeup and the darker, discolored skin underneath. Additionally, certain types of makeup, such as concealers, can emphasize the appearance of discoloration and shadows beneath the eyes. Applying makeup too heavily can also make the area look cakey and make the bags more visible. To avoid this, use light and sheer makeup products, and blend the makeup out until it looks natural. Additionally, consider using a color-correcting concealer to help cover up any discoloration and shadows.
