Basically I've used at least 50+ different types of foundations (liquid and powder) or concealers to try get a nice even coverage over my whole face. I always find that nothing sits right on my nose though, and it often goes patchy or it seems to wipe off; anyone know how I can deal with this issue? xx

Are you using a primer? What's your skin type?

I use a body shop primer most days, my skins a bit sensitive but I don't suffer with oily or dry skin so no other products sit badly on the rest of my skin so it's kind of odd x

I love cream foundation applied with a beauty blender! And a nice moisturizing or mattifying primer depending on your skin type,

Glycerin! Sounds crazy, but glycerin is like a glue for makeup products. That's why the Nivea shave balm that Nikki Tutorials uses has been going wild lately. It's main ingredient is glycerin. I use glycerin as a mixing medium when doing fashion/avante garde/crazy looks to hold together the makeup I mix up. If you google "glycerin and makeup", it tells you how to make your own primer with it. It's super easy to do, and I got my glycerin from CVS. Worth a try!

Oh and if your nose is dry, that's why makeup won't stay on it. Exfoliate and moisturize heavily!

I use Estee Lauder Double Wear MAXIMUM Coverage foundation on my nose only. I don't need the coverage, but I wear glasses, so I try to minimize the wearing away of foundation off my nose. And the Double Line really sticks. I like the Maximum coverage over the regular Double Wear because the MAXIMUM coverage formula actually has a thinner texture and imo adheres better to the skin because of the texture. Also the thinner texture and good adherence keeps it from caking around the nose. Now, I want to also say, not everything works for everyone. So I suggest getting a sample first.

P.s. I don't like the Estee Lauder Double Wear MAXIMUM Coverage for the rest of my face. I find it drying and masky looking on my textured skin. But it's looks very natural on my nose only.
