I currently use Mac Prolongwear in NC15, but this has happened with other foundations as well. I normally have oily/normal combo skin, but for some reason whenever I apply my foundation my skin looks dry as a bone! Should I look into a new foundation, or maybe switch up how I apply it? I need your help!

Do you exfoliate beforehand. How do you prep your face?

Try to apply it witg a damp beautyblender/brush and do sone really heavy moisturizing before. I have the same priblem sometimes, and I feel like apllying it with a damp tool makes a huge difference.

You must try rimmel London stay matte if you are an nc15 light porcelain or ivory would be a great color for you to use! It will make your skin feel and look amazing

Thanks ladies!! I'll have to try that! I feel like using a damn beauty blender gives me less coverage though :/

Use the Mac duo fiber brush :) or some type of brush that looks like it they sell cheaper ones in Sally's beauty for like 7 bucks :) it will help a lot and you will also get great coverage
