Oil and dirt sit on top of your skin and make your makeup look more creased. Exfoliate your skin once a week to get rid of dry and flaky skin.

You can find hydrating primers at most beauty supply stores. Primer helps to close your pores and keeps your skin looking smooth to create a good base for your makeup.

Make sure you use translucent powder so that there is no product buildup on your skin. Setting powder absorbs grease and oil from your skin and makes your makeup application more smooth.

Dewy foundations have a tendency to hold in moisture and crease more, and powder foundations tend to sit in the lines on your face and make creases more noticeable.

Blending sponges spread out foundation better and provide a lighter coverage than makeup brushes.

Building up a ton of foundation on your face makes it more likely to crack or crease over time.

Liquid concealer blends better than powder concealer does, so it’s less likely to crease. It can be tempting to add multiple layers of concealer, especially on any blemishes. However, this can make your makeup crease and draw attention to those areas.

Setting powder locks in your makeup and removes moisture to prevent your makeup from creasing over time. Finish your look with blush, eye makeup, and lip color.
