Hey guys!
Ive been having this problem since i started wearing make up. I cleanse my face, moisturize, and prime my face before foundation application, and i set it afterwards, but no matter what i do, it seems to melt off before lunch! I have combination/oily skin. my cheeks and around my eyebrows are dry and the rest of my face is pretty oily. Any tips on how to get my foundation to stay on all day?

Thanks xo

Try using a good setting powder and maybe invest in a setting spray as well. The Urban Decay All Nighter spray is amazing and I've heard that model in a bottle is as well.

Ditto what Kennedy said, plus try using a powder puff with your setting powder and rolling it onto the skin, then taking a brush to remove the excess. This will set the foundation more securely and gives you a flawless look. I went dancing at Pride in this makeup and sweated like crazy and I still looked great at the end of the night. Hope this helps (:

ive had the same problem and all that helped was urban decays setting spray along with blotting papers. I hope this helped!

i agree with the setting spray, it helps a lot. i haven't tried the the urban decay spray, but the skindanavia is really good! they have one for oily skin too! also if you don't already have one then an oil-free foundation is a must! haha hope this helps!
