I use Estée Lauder mixed with Revlon to have the perfect colour (I ordered Estée Lauder too dark and cut it with a light shade of Revlon) the colour matches perfectly when I first put it on, but like once I'm wearing it and the oils come out in my face it looks pinkish and it sucks :( is this a real issue, do any of you have this problem.

Sometimes foundations oxidise in colour this means that when exposed to oxygen they darken. This is usually the case with foundations that are intended to last for a long time they need to have this property in them in order to last a long time. I recommend getting a shade lighter than the one you bought and trying that out or swatching a small amount on your jaw line to your neck. Walking around for atleast 10-20 minutes and then checking the colour out to see if it matches before purchasing.

If you find the shade is to pinkish try getting a shade that has a much warmer yellowy tone in if

I think it's the revlon foundation that's doing that because I have insanely oily skin and the DW never does that on me. I used to have this problem before I switched to the double wear though. I'd go to school my shade and walk out four shades darker.

Yeah it could be the mixture of the two. I just need to cut it with a lighter colour because I went too dark 😩

Sometimes the oil in your skin can also cause a foundation to oxidize. Using a primer can help by reducing the amount of oil that comes into contact with your foundation.
