So the reason my makeup has been flaking lately was dryness.

Lately, whenever I apply cushion foundation, it keeps flaking and looking like dead skin cells, so I thought it was a problem with the product.
So I tried changing the base product and replacing the puff with a new one, but there wasn't much difference.

But it turned out that it was because my skin's internal dryness had worsened.
I think the cause was that I applied my base makeup carelessly and then immediately put on makeup.

Lately, after washing my face, I let the toner and essence absorb completely and apply cream thoroughly before applying makeup, and it looks much less cakey.
In particular, I feel like my skin looks noticeably different when I use a face mask simply before applying makeup.

In the past, I used to look for products with only good coverage, but now I feel that managing my skin condition itself is more important.
If you, like me, are concerned about makeup flaking, I recommend paying attention to inner hydration.
