4 Makeup Tricks to Fix Cakey Foundation

And, while it all sounds a bit too easy, it sure ain't a 'cake walk'. Celebrity makeup artist, Ashima Kapoor shares a few must-know tips and tricks that will help you avoid this beauty faux pas, without having to start from scratch!

Break the foundation with the help of a makeup setting spray. The setting spray will not only set your makeup in place, but will also melt the extra powder applied. Instead of having to redo your makeup, invest in a good makeup setting spray that will come to your rescue last minute.

Alternatively, use a glow mist that will make your skin look dewy, instead of cakey. It will immediately add a glow to your skin, without the makeup looking jarring.

Another trick to avoid a cakey makeup appearance is to use a face mist post application of the foundation. Ensure that you always keep a face mist or skin refreshing spray handy in your beauty bag. Spraying the mist on your face post makeup allows it to set better, preventing an overly cakey look.

In the case that your foundation turns out to be more on the OTT, cakey side, use a damp sponge or beauty blender and blend the excess foundation away. Dampen the sponge with a little water using a water spray bottle, which will help get rid of the extra layer of foundation on your skin.
