My makeup does not stay on my face no matter what I do, even with a primer high end foundation and setting spray it all fades within an hour and my blush is the WORST offender, my blush lasts maybe 15 minutes. I know girls whose faces look flawless all day and then still looks good the next day. WHAT IS THE SECRET GUYS??

Is your face oily.??

Have you tried cleansing and moisturizing before you prime and letting the prime dry before you add your foundation. Like letting every layer dry. And also use a matte powder maybe

Also if you do have oily skin maybe blotting sheets.

I have dry skin, but the only thing you can do is try a new primer or foundation. A foundation that isn't working for you now isn't going to magically start working. I would recommend blotting sheets though!

Like Kitty said knowing your makeup routine with specific products would help. Also, what's your skincare routine? Your skincare is soo important if you're not using products that are beneficial for you you're going to have issues with your makeup

I had the same problem until I started using proactive's daily oil control every day after cleansing before I applied anything else. Let it set and dry completely. Also, if you're using a moisturizer that doesn't compliment oily skin that could be causing problems as well. Try using oil free moisturizers that are made for people with oily skin. Hope I was somewhat helpful. 😊

I would recommend using all products that are oil free to start it off. Also in the summer, your makeup will come off because you're constantly sweating. Oil free primer, then concealer, medium to full coverage foundation and to set it use powder. After I would highly recommend the urban decay setting spray, I use it and my makeup stays for hours and my makeup would usually come off in 40 minutes without it. Also it helps if you don't touch your face when you have full face on!!
