Unless you’re hiding marks or blemishes, there is no reason to apply foundation to your entire face, because it can make you look as if you’re wearing a mask and ruin your whole look. But if you happened to apply too much of it, how to fix the makeup without starting from scratch? Let us guide you through step by step.
First, clean your hands and make sure they are dry, then lightly glide your palms across your face and let the palm soak up some of the excess foundation. Don’t rub or the foundation will be removed totally.
Then grab a tissue and dab it on your face, focusing on the areas where there is too much foundation. The tissue should immediately absorb the excess product. Again, remember not to rub or scrap your face, just light dabbing will do.
After that, use a damp beauty blender or makeup sponge to blend the areas where you’ve removed the excess foundation and the rest of your makeup. Using a damp beauty sponge and stippling it over your face is a great way to soften and blend cakey foundation. As the sponge will absorb extra product and make your foundation looks seamless. After you’ve finished blending, apply a light dusting of powder to smooth everything out.
However, if you have tried the technique above but the foundation still looks bumpy and textured, chances are your foundation is not suitable for your complexion or the lighting in your bathroom is not ideal for makeup. If the problem is on the texture of your foundation, you need to make sure your foundation is appropriate for your skin type, not too thick or too thin. If the problem is about the lighting, you will need to consider a magnifying mirror so you can see all the details when you’re putting on makeup.
