Everyone wants to enjoy flawless, smooth skin that lasts from morning to night. That’s why tips for applying foundation without creasing or caking have become one of the most searched topics—because no one likes dry patches or makeup slipping throughout the day.
But flawless skin doesn’t come from makeup alone. It starts with proper skin prep: the right skincare, sun protection, and a well-thought-out application routine.
If you’ve ever wondered why your makeup looks perfect one day and patchy the next, try the techniques #legend_th is sharing today. They might be just what your routine has been missing.

Tips for Applying Foundation Without Creasing, For Flawless Skin All Day
Choose Skincare That Matches Your Skin Concerns
The saying, “What works for others might not work for you,” couldn’t be more true. We all have different skin types and concerns, so a skincare product praised by many may not suit your skin. The first tip is to select skincare that addresses your specific needs. If you have dry skin, opt for hydrating products. If your skin is oily, choose lightweight, oil-controlling formulas that absorb easily.
Prepare Your Skin Properly Before Applying Makeup
No matter how rushed your morning, take time to prep your skin well before applying makeup. Poor preparation can cause foundation to cake or crease, ruining your chances of flawless skin. After cleansing, apply 2–3 lightweight, water-based or gel-textured skincare products. Let them fully absorb before layering on sunscreen and makeup.
Choose a Primer That Matches Your Foundation
This tip has quickly gained popularity because it delivers immediate results. Using a primer and foundation from different bases can cause makeup to flake or crease without you noticing. Check your foundation’s ingredients to see if it’s silicone-based or water-based, then pair it with a primer of the same type. This simple match helps keep your skin flawless and your makeup crease-free all day.

Layer Your Foundation Slowly, One Thin Layer at a Time
Many of us are familiar with this technique, popularised by Korean makeup trends where artists use a spatula to apply foundation. This method works wonders because applying thin layers and building coverage only where needed helps the foundation adhere more seamlessly to the skin. The result? Less makeup breakdown and smudging throughout the day. If you don’t have a spatula or prefer not to use one, fingers or a makeup sponge work just as well for applying thin layers.
Set Your Base with a Hydrating Setting Spray
Once your base makeup is done, allow it to settle for a moment, then spritz a hydrating setting spray over your face before moving on to the next steps. This locks your base in place, helping it blend together into a flawless skin finish. The setting spray also prevents cakey patches and patchiness as you continue your makeup routine.
These simple tweaks—layering your foundation carefully and setting your base well—can make a big difference. By dedicating a little extra time and choosing products that suit your skin, you’ll achieve a smoother, more flawless makeup look that lasts all day.
