Why does my makeup make my face look dry and cakey?

With extreme weather hot/cold and pollution there are so many factors that play a role in skin tone. If your skin tends to be dry you might want to invest in a good daily moisturizer that you can use prior to makeup application.

Most of the time once the skin is hydrated with this type of lotion makeup tends to adhere to the lotion and not skin into the skin. When the skin is dry it gives that cake like appearance of un-evenness.

If a daily moisturizer does not help you might want to switch to a liquid foundation and up your intake of water as well as fish oil which would naturally hydrate your skin.
