What do you use to keep foundation from caking in fine lines?

I use a great foundation, but I have a fine line on my forehead that looks much more noticeable if I apply my foundation! What do you beauties use to stop this from happening?

Prep skin is the key Before applying the foundation makes sure to hydrated the skin and wait till it’s fully absorb too For the foundation i prefer to use something light and natural finish (not matte but not too glowy) Then i would set it with loose powder.. but no tapping with sponge or any dense tools Use brushes… tap a little amount softly no hard pressure and wipe of with up and down motion or circular (avoid to side motion) on forehead but issokey around cheeks area You could build up if you think it’s need more powder.. and once done use setting spray to melt everything but not too wets The more fine the mist the better so it wont makes clumps or uneven And done I have dryskin and live in a tropic country and this is the best technique to keep my complexion looks good not emphasise my texture and last longer

How long the prep absorb is depend on the type of the product you yse and the skin condition and environment (different weather or room temperature like having ac on or not) But for me around 1-2mnt is enough or when i fell my sunscreen or primer doesn’t feels like moving when i try to tap it

Have you tried a silicone base primer like Smashboxs Photo finish. I know a lot of people that have had great success. Also if you can exfoliate with an AHA like glow recipes Water Melon Glow over night mask and dermaplane to remove dead skin and use a hyluronic acid serum to plump lines it should also help.
