Dumbest question ever... Options

[x3chrissyx3]

So, after I applied my make-up, I happened to lean over the counter top in my bathroom to examine my make-up a little more closely in my mirror. When I did that, my make-up looked a little cakey, but whenever I stand you know at normal distance, it doesn't at all. EVer since that happened I've been paranoid that it looks cakey to other people if it looks that way when I stand close to the mirror. Okay, I know I'm weird because I stood *that* close to the mirror, and no one does that, but is it normal for it to look like that when you stand close to the mirror?

I know I'm the most ridiculous person ever.

hmm your make up shouldn't look cakey no matter what. if it does, then there maybe some problems:
#1: you put TOO MUCH on. make up should be simple: foundation on pimples, redness, etc. not on whole face. thats for when you're 40. and then light dusting of translucent powder on face.
#2: you have dry skin. if you see like peeling sorta, then its dry skin. exfoliate and mosturize daily.
#3: you're not using the right foundation. if you have oily skin, then use a formula designed for oily skin types. or if you have dry skin (prolly u) then use a tinted mosturizer, or a blendable foundation (i swear by loreal's true match foundation)

hope that helped. if you're young, then less is more since you have that youngin glow. if all else fails, i usually just dust a bronzer powder over my face and it usually hides the small blemishes. oh and don't ask ppl if u're face is cakey, then they will totally notice it. (more then likely they don't even in the first place!)
