I NEVER have this problem in the summer time - my skin stays nice and glowy then and I always use NARS products.

But this winter my skin has gotten crazy dry. I’ve implemented a different moisturizer (per my dermatologist) but I can still notice my face products (NARS, sometimes KOSAS) separating on my face. It’s always so obvious and looks absolutely caked.

I’m an actor so I have to film self tapes and the iPhone 15 video is super sharp - it picks up on everything and my skin/makeup has been looking terrible.

Would love some recommendations on concealers or foundations. Or are tinted moisturizers the way to go? I only have a few blemishes - but I do have uneven skin tone and usually dark circles which are the most important things to conceal for me.

Any help would be amazing! I’m open to any brands!

    I went through something really similar. What completely changed my skin was my diet- I cut out dairy, sugar, and gluten all at once. From what I can tell since then, I think dairy was the biggest culprit, but the other two make a big difference as well for me. Of course you don’t have to take that advice though!!

    Other things that really helped: putting on my skincare products RIGHT after washing my face, and not completely drying my face before applying. Using a 2nd layer moisturizer to seal in the first moisturizer, something like REN overnight recovery balm. Exfoliating mask once a week. A serum under you’re moisturizer- good one is The Ordinary Buffet. You may also like another gel layer under your main moisturizer- something like Neutrogena fragrance free hydro boost. If you feel you need a bit extra exfoliation throughout the week, use a glycolic acid toner. Keep a water bottle on you throughout the day to check if it’s dehydration as well. 😊
