What is a common consequence of applying makeup too soon after a facial?

Applying makeup too soon after a facial is likely to lead to the makeup becoming patchy. This occurs because many facials involve the use of hydrating serums, oils, or masks that leave the skin with a certain level of moisture. If makeup is applied on top of this, especially before the products have fully absorbed or dried, it can affect the adhesion and blending of the makeup products. As a result, the foundation or other makeup elements may not adhere evenly to the skin, leading to a patchy appearance as the product settles into the skin's surface inconsistently.

Other potential consequences of applying makeup too soon may include issues like shine, clogged pores, or makeup appearing darker than intended; however, these effects are secondary to the main issue of patchiness that arises from layering on makeup over freshly treated, potentially still moist skin.
