I am annoyed because it feels like no matter what foundation I use it feels heavy and my face feels dirty, whether I use primer or not (and I get mad headaches when I wear make up). I can't stand wearing it but I can't stand not having make up on, any tips would be great.

Try bb cream or cc cream
Those have a lighter consistency
And if you really want to stick with foundation try the bare minerals bare skin if you haven't yet it's a serum known to be really natural on the skin and not heavy what so ever :)

I understand what you mean - I took ages to find a foundation that worked for me, but it was worth it. Anyway, exfoliating and prepping your skin well is a key step to how well your base blends into the skin. For thicker foundations, you can also mix in a drop of facial oil to thin out the consistency and smooth out the texture. My all-time favourite foundation is Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua; it feels and looks like nothing on the skin.

Exfoliating! Also try using lighter consistency of foundations & also I use fix + with my makeup not looking cakey or heavy. If you don't have oily skin I suggest looking for dewy finish foundations.

Look for oil free, a tinted moisturiser and have a good cleansing regime

I second the MUFE Face & Body, it's water based and feels like nothing, my moisturizer is more heavy! I prefer it over my BB and CC creams any days, plus it's lasted me through rain without budging or dripping :)

Aside from the great advice already given / try using less product - most of the time you don't need more than a pea sized amount for your whole face - and I agree oil free formulas feel less heavy to me personally.

Kitty you are so right! 😁Now that I think about it, my moisturizer is heavier feeling, lol! And what is really crazy to me, is that it actually stays on my nasty 'old oily, dehydrated skin? I think especially us oily skinned gals feel like we need glue based foundations to keep it together, lol!😜 But I guess since water and oil don't mix, a water base won't budge- huzzah!! 🎉

Try a very light foundation or bb cream so that way you feel like you aren't wearing anything. I really enjoy L'Oreal True Match and Marcelle Tinted Moisturizer.

Totally understand you and the headache thing too - happens to me as well. All the tips mentioned by the other ladies are definitely worth a try so give them a go and see if anything works for you. My two cents would be to use a setting spray after you apply your foundation as this will hell to smooth down the heaviness and give you a refreshed feel. It's what works for me when I want to reduce the 'thickness' of my foundation. I also transport a little bit of my setting spray into a small spray bottle so I can spritz up when I'm craving a refresher. It works wonders for me!
