"Cake Face" and how to avoid it

A lot of teenagers wear make up every single day. A light make up is good to be used to cover some 'mistakes', but if we over do it then the result is sad...... This is called Cake Face. To avoid this situation we have to follow some important things. Here are some:

The Right Way to Wear Foundation & Concealer

In high school I wore a full face of  foundation every day despite the fact that I had pretty nice skin for a 16-year-old. What I wish I knew then was that foundation is meant to cover up only your uneven spots like the cheeks, around the nose and maybe the chin. Once the foundation is in place, you can then dot concealer on any ruddy or pimply spots the foundation doesn't cover. Remember, with foundation, apply only on the spots that need it.

Matte is Out, Dewy is In

As we age, our skin loses not only its elasticity, but it also tends to lose moisture. This can lead to "cake face." A matte face is not a youthful, dewy face. Our goal is to make our skin appear dewy and as youthful as possible, even if we are 70. This means keeping skin as moisturized as possible.

What to Do About Those Freckles?

Some women and girls with freckles try to cover them up with thick foundation. Don't! Try to embrace your freckles and grow to love them. Freckles make you unique and accepting them will make you more beautiful. After all, it's almost impossible to cover up freckles without achieving "cake face."

Choose the Correct Foundation & Concealer

Cake face is worst when when someone's wearing the wrong foundation shade.

It's really important to find the right shade of foundation or tinted moistrurizer. You want the foundation to blend in seamlessly with your skin color. I recommend using 2 different shades one for summer when your skin is darker and then a lighter shade in winter. You can mix the two in spring and fall. I recommend trying out foundation at a place like Sephora so an expert can say "yay or nay."

Drugstores like Rite Aid these days also have liberal return policies so if you try something and it's not right, return it.

A couple rules of thumb is to choose a sheer liquid rather than a powder foundation if you have dry skin. If you have oily skin, opt for an oil-free tinted moisturizer or foundation and keep blotting papers on hand to blot your skin as the day wears on.

Keep Skin Hydrated as the Day Wears On

If you have dry skin, it's really important to keep skin hydrated and moisturized all day long. I like to spray mineral water on my face to add moisture. I will also dot on a bit of moisturizer on any "cakey spots."
