So every now and then my skin will literally reject any makeup I put on it it starts flaking and creasing and it looks awful and I have acne already and idk what to do it’s so stressful 

Re: Foundation not sticking and face having peeling

Try having a layer of moisturiser as a base for your foundation to stick to.

Important that your base is the similar texture to your foundation, eg.cream and powder works excellent. gel moisturiser and oil free foundation pill.

 

Also don't smear or swipe. Press press press. 

Re: Foundation not sticking and face having peeling

Do you also have dry skin? 

Applying matifying products or powders to dry skin will cause flaking. 

Even with oily skin, there is a thing as putting too much matifying products on.

 

If you have dry skin, put on a good moisturizer before foundation and when using powder to set, do the lightest dusting (using fluffy brushes help ensure you're not picking up too much product)

 

If you have oily skin, still moisturizer before foundation, you can use a gel moisturizer. Many recommend avoiding cream blushes and cream contours because they are oil based and make oily skin, more oily. A press powder over a foundation can help with oil control but putting too much can cause seperation still.

 

 

Also, in your photos, I barely notice any flaking 😂 so hopefully it's not too noticeable unless you're up close with someone 

All the best! Let me know if you try any tips
