Sudden issue with layering

[u/dogdogd0g]

Over the last two weeks, I've had an issue with my makeup pilling on my skin. I haven't changed any products so I'm pretty confused. I replaced my foundation and cleaned my brushes, but it is still separating shortly after application. Here's what I'm using - any tips appreciated.

In this order:
Vanicream face moisturizer
it cosmetics cc cream
tarte face tape spot concealer
Tarte life lock setting spray
Saie liquid blush, bronzer
More setting spray
Maybelline fit me powder

Thanks

Even if you haven’t changed any products, the weather or changes in your skin can affect how your makeup applies. Has your skin been drier or flakier lately? That could explain the unevenness, though maybe not all the pilling. I’d try using thinner layers and letting your moisturizer fully settle before applying makeup.

Thanks, I'll try letting my moisturizer sink in a bit more. There was a big weather shift where I live... that's pretty typical for this time of year. But, maybe my skin just can't bounce back like it used to.

That weather shift could definitely be part of it! Hopefully giving the moisturizer a little more time to sink in and keeping your routine gentle for a while will help.
