Silicone based vs Water Based makeup | How to prevent Cakey Makeup & get Flawless Skin

If your makeup is still turning out like this in 2023, we need to have a chat. I swear my makeup was doing this for years and I could not figure out why. I was like, what is going on? Even hours later, after having a flawless makeup base when I would leave the house, it would still look like this hours later. I could not figure out why. I'm gonna give you my life hack for no more separation anxiety and flawless skin every time. Here she is. This is my makeup tower where all of my makeup that I use every single day. In order to get flawless makeup, you wanna be using all water-based products or all silicone-based products. So here's an example of a routine that I like to use for all water-based products. Here's an example of a silicone-based routine that I love. All of these products, I swear by, they're all individually so incredible. Basically, makeup is categorized into two different formulations. So either they're silicone-based or water-based. So lucky for us, the makeup industry makes it pretty easy for us to tell whether or not something's silicone-based or water-based. So in the first five ingredients, from the top to the bottom, it's the most concentrated versus the least concentrated ingredients. So in the top five ingredients, as you can see up here, this is an example of a silicone-based product because it has hexane or cone at the end. So anything that's dimethicone or cone in the first five ingredients, that means that it is silicone-based, even if it has water up in there. Otherwise, it's pretty much a given that it's a water-based product if it doesn't have any of these ingredients. Sometimes there are silicones lower in the formulation, but that does not mean it's silicone-based. The reason behind why your makeup is probably turning out like this is because you're using products like a water-based primer and then putting a silicone-based foundation or blush or cream or something on top of it that's causing separation later in the day.
