But what happens when your makeup itself starts pilling, or rolling off your skin in tiny balls?
It often results from layering skincare products in the wrong order or not keeping up with your routine.

However, if you find compatible silicone-based products to use together, they won’t give you trouble.
And, likewise, sticking to compatible water-based formulas can be equally effective in preventing pilling.
If that means forgoing your eye cream or other non-essential products, that might be the best solution.

You may also want to apply less of each product in general.
The rule is especially important if you are using both water-based and oil or cream-based products.
It’s also best to abstain from fluorphlogopite, a formula thickener.
