I sweat an incredible amount. That might be a weird way to open up a question, but it's true. Whenever I use my foundation (Tarte Amazonian clay) it sweats off my nose and Cupid's bow within half an hour. Slightly better with primer (smash box) but still would like full and sweat proof coverage. I also have rosacea, so I would need a full coverage foundation. Is there any foundation you know that is 100% sweat proof and full coverage? Price does not matter. Thank you all!

Nothing is truly water proof (or sweat proof) haha. do you set the foundation on those areas? That helps.

Hey, I have exactly the same problem as you. I have tried a myriad of foundations (Mac, lancome, everything). The best best BEST ones are Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place, and the Estee Lauder Double Wear maximum cover foundation. They were a life saver. I stay in a very humid place but they do NOT budge and they do not need touch ups. The 1st one is Medium to full coverage (the coverage however is easily build-able), and the the latter is full on maximum coverage. The only difference I could find between them was the coverage ; the price as well as the staying power is the same and it is AMAZING. The former however has more shades than the maximum one.
The best part is Estee Lauder counters and stores always keep a lot of samples of this foundation for trying out, so I suggest you get samples for both of them and try them out for a week and see what you like. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain!
These are extremely extremely long lasting!
And they last forever. I use it EVERYDAY and one tube/bottle lasts 7 months+

I suggest the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream! It has amazing coverage, is great for the skin, has SPF 50, and it's definitely sweat proof! I wore it to Disney World this past May and it lasted all day long through sweat and humidity, even without a primer (:

My favorite foundation is the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation...it's a 24 hr, transfer resistant, matte foundation.
I find that using a good primer, with a small amount of this foundation, some setting powder, and Urban Decays Stay All Day setting spray works to keep my makeup on throughout the day.
I go to school, and play sports so it's about 10 hr day that I have every day and I never retouch my makeup unless I have something else going on where I have to touch up :)

Aside from the perspiration, what type of skin do you have? Do you need to a dress any acne, oily or dry patches?

Thank you everyone! @rozberry first of all, I adore your hair. Besides that, I have next to no acne, but would really like to cover up my redness. I also get oily on my t zone. Thank you for the help! ❤️

Aww...thank you so much, Kennedy. I agree with the Estee Lauder foundation is an excellent option. Great coverage and you can get a sample/color matched to try it out. :)

The MAC pro longwear nourishing waterproof foundation is pretty good.
I'm someone that perspires and I did perspire with that foundation but it wasn't nearly as bad and it didn't make the makeup come off super easy like other foundations I've used
