Makeup caking around the nose is a common issue that many people experience. 

Reasons Why This Could Happen

Excess Oil

The skin around your nose tends to produce more oil than other areas of the face, which can cause makeup to cake up and settle into fine lines and pores.

Dry Skin

On the other hand, if the skin around the nose is dry, it can cause the makeup to look cakey and uneven.

Incorrect Application 

Applying too much foundation or concealer in the area around the nose can also cause makeup to cake up.

Rubbing or Touching

Rubbing or touching the nose frequently can cause makeup to wear off in that area, leading to patchiness and unevenness.

Using the Wrong Products

Using products that are not suitable for your skin type, such as the heavy, oil-based foundation on oily skin, can also contribute to makeup caking around.

If you want to avoid makeup caking up around your nose, start your makeup with a clean face. Use a lightweight foundation and blend your makeup carefully. Avoid touching or rubbing your nose. Also, if you have oily skin, consider using a mattifying primer to help control excess oil.
