Silicones vs. Water-Based Foundations
It’s basic chemistry: oil and water don’t mix. If you use a water-based moisturizer and a silicone-based foundation, the silicone will eventually "slip" off the water layer, causing separation on the nose and chin. Check your ingredients: Dimethicone = Silicone. Aqua = Water. Go check your makeup bag right now. Drop a comment below with your favorite primer and foundation combo—let’s audit them to see if they are chemically compatible!

This is interesting. The other day I bought a new primer and the foundation wouldnt stick. It was just gliding ofg. Silicone primers are not oil-based, but rather a distinct, third category of primer that uses silicone compounds (e.g., dimethicone, siloxane) to create a smooth, velvety barrier. While they often have a slippery, gel-like texture similar to oil, they are technically non-polar, hydrophobic substances distinct from hydrocarbon oils. Silicone primers (ending in -cone, -methicone, -siloxane) often repel water-based foundations, causing them to break down or become cakey.

@Blankita Torres I think it slid off because I used cream makeup with a silicon primer. Now I know better thanks to your advice

What was your favourite makeup application last year? Share your pictures or videos. I’d love to see Mine was this one. Not only was the bride bra but her energy was amazing. It was hands down the funnest gig last year. I used my Make Up For Ever foundation and setting powder to create the HD LOOK

@Blankita Torres I use makeup from M.U.D. (makeup designatory) and MAC. I think foundation is a must. Nice eyebrows and lipstick.

@Blankita Torres i think for this makeup I used the following MAC products: eyeliner (deep down brown eye liner gel), Soft & gentle baked highlighter powder, and I used a lipliner. The rest were MUD.
