2- Moisturize your skin before applying makeup
Contrary to what many people think, especially those with oily skin, moisturizing before makeup will not increase your skin’s oiliness.
All skin types need and should be hydrated, daily, and before makeup.
Oily skin, when not hydrated, tends to produce more “sebum” in an attempt to supply hydration, which will result in even more oily skin with a high chance of cracking.
By hydrating it you prevent this from happening.
Dry skin, trying to stay hydrated, ends up absorbing all the oil in its base, making the product feel super dry on your skin.
This will certainly make your base crack.
So, the tip is, buy a moisturizer according to your skin type and hydrate it.
Do this daily and before makeup.
Oh! Don’t forget that, by hydrating yourself internally, drinking plenty of water, you will also be hydrating your skin.

3- Don’t overdo the base
It is essential, for a well-done make-up, to use several products.
However, it is extremely important, to prevent the base from cracking, that we apply thin layers of the product to achieve a good finish.
When we apply many layers, the finish tends to become thick and, in addition to the makeup being heavy, the chances of your base cracking are immense.
So, the tip is, buy a high coverage foundation and always prefer thin layers.
4- Apply the foundation correctly
The way you apply the foundation makes all the difference so that the product doesn’t crack.
If you apply the foundation anyway, without laying it on the skin, there is a high chance of the product cracking.
Therefore, when applying the foundation, you should do so by tapping gently, with a brush or sponge.
“Gentle taps” are essential for the foundation to settle onto the skin, giving the product greater adhesion.

5- Don’t overdo it with face powder
Exaggerating the powder can leave your skin looking cracked and marked.
And, it will make you think that it was the base’s fault…lol!
Therefore, if you like to seal your skin with powder, choose very fine powder, this way you will achieve a lighter finish, without the possibility of cracking.
6- Finish the skin properly
Finishing the skin counts a lot to prevent the foundation from cracking.
By finishing the skin with jets of thermal water, finishing mists… you will be removing that heavy makeup look, leaving the makeup more natural.
By using finishing products, you will basically be returning water to the skin (even after makeup). This way, in addition to not letting your foundation crack, your makeup will last longer and will look more beautiful and natural.
