Here some tips for reducing foundation creasing around depressed acne scars:
1. Use less foundation: the more you use, the more there will be available to migrate into the creases.
2. Translucent setting powder with a damp sponge: applying the powder with a damp sponge makes the powder cling more tightly to the foundation, and therefore sets it better.
3. Use a setting spray: setting spray can make all the difference as to whether the makeup creases over time. The best part is that if you apply it after you set the area with powder then it helps everything to look more natural and skin-like as well.
4. Try a sticky glycerin based primer: glycerin helps makeup stick to the skin, but it is not heavy or thick so it’s perfect to keep things looking natural and keeping your makeup in place. Good options are Laura Mercier hydrating foundation primer or the Nivea men’s sensitive after shave balm. These are cheap and works well.
5. Try not to make facial expressions until the foundation sets: Just try not to scrunch your face up for a minute or two after you apply your base. It will save you some trouble later.
