Need advice on foundation application

WI CUSTOMER — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 01:12:46 GMT

I recently having issues with my foundation. I use a serum and moisturizer, after waiting about 15 minutes between those 2 steps, I apply foundation. My foundation, which is a light foundation, pills on my face. I apply foundation either with my fingers or beauty sponge. Any ideas to prevent this or what I can try. Appreciate the help.

Have you considered using a primer? It goes on over your moisturizer, before the foundation.

I use vit C serum.

@WI CUSTOMER You shouldn't have to wait that long to apply your foundation.

Something in the combination isn't playing well together & is causing the pilling.

Try just your moisturizer & foundation or just the serum & foundation.

What are the actual serum, moisturizer & foundations that you are using?

Vit C Serums are usually "drier" serums so I don't think that is probably the problem.

@WI CUSTOMER - Pilling usually means something isn't playing nice with other things you are using. Does your moisturizer have an spf? Are any of the products new or new-ish? Just trying to think of things that may be making this happen.

Use the serum at night. You probably won't have any pilling without the serum.

foundation?

I started using NO 7 moisturizer the renew brand and vit C. I started a moisturizer with Niacinamide. That might be the issue. I wish I could find products from the same company instead of one product from one company and other one from a different company

This has happened to me. It’s been a while so I don’t remember which products I was using, but I switched things up until I identified which layers worked better without pilling. It’s a pain but it’s the only way to figure out which product is the culprit.

@WI CUSTOMER I like using DRMTLGY spf which has moisturizer in it, so I cut out the extra step in skincare. Sometimes too many layers under foundation can cause pilling. Also you may need to try different products to see if any of them work better for you or maybe if you like the skincare, try a different foundation. It's a marathon not a sprint finding the products that play well together.

I use gold Bond retinol lotion on my neck. It happens to me a lot just rubbing it in on my neck. Pilling. Weird.
@WI CUSTOMER
I feel your pain. It happened to me this morning pretty fierce.
Toner, rosehip oil, serum ( vit c, squalane, glycolic acid; Oliology brand), Neutrogena rapid repair retinol, Neutrogena water cream. The serum was a swap from my usual. Pilled like peeling paint. It took me an hour and a damp beauty blender to put on all my makeup. I was almost late for church. That serum will be for night only from now on. But I have no idea why the GB retinol lotion does that on my neck 😳
