We’ve all been there, we all dread it: cakey makeup. Celebrity makeup artist Tomy Rivero describes it as “makeup that adds or exposes texture on the skin, or dry looking product on the surface of the skin.” If you’ve ever been so into a new blush that you layer it on without restraint, or your favorite new product looks anything but seamless and natural on your skin (and you wear it anyway)—you know what Rivero means.

About the Expert:
We’ve all been there: You reach for a new foundation (or sometimes even one that you’ve used for years) and apply it without a second thought (or glance), only to look in the mirror afterward and notice that your face looks plastered with makeup.
Such is the reality of cakey foundation. But the question is, is it really just your foundation’s fault? According to board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD, not always. “Foundation can look cakey and dry as a result of the foundation itself or as a result of the skin that it’s being applied to,” she says.
With that in mind, we chatted with Garshick, as well as makeup artists Lori Taylor Davis and Nick Lujan, to find out all the reasons your foundation looks cakey. Uncover what they are, below.
