A. 1. Moisturize properly: Ensure your skin is well-moisturized before applying foundation. Use a lightweight moisturizer suitable for your skin type to prevent dryness that can lead to caking. 2. Apply in thin layers: Instead of applying a thick layer of foundation, use a damp makeup sponge or brush to apply thin layers, building coverage gradually.

B. 3. Choose the right formula: If your foundation consistently cakes, consider switching to a different formula, such as a lightweight or hydrating foundation that is less likely to settle into fine lines.
