So today was very very hot like 40 sumthing degree C I guess.so I'm a busy mum who runs here and there and with this hot weather I was literally dripping in sweat.lile no joke.so I was out I din notice anything so I was in sephora I looked in the mirror like I was soooo shocked to see my face looks scary like the powder looked cloudy kind of it separated and looked cloudy if that makes sense I don't know if you can understand what I'm trying to say...so I smoothed it out with my fingers the white cloudy part went away.what might have been the cause if this I don't wanna go out with a scary face like this.I need help please.

And also whenever I put powder on my face I don't like the look of it and I must set my foundation as I have lots of fine lines which if I don't set my foundation it will crease.and I have lods of skin texture I don't know if you know any good recommendationfor this trouble too specially around the nose area I have like white heads too even if I put powder it looks soo bad I just don't like the look of the powder on my face

Try a primer and a setting spray instead of putting so much powder on.

I don't think you're wearing too much powder- the sweat and facial oil will cause your powder, foundation, and other face makeup to separate. If you were wearing other products such as foundation and concealer, I would also use a mattifying or smoothing primer and a setting spray as Alexandra said. Hope this helped!

Its not separate its like when you put that powder too much and water somewhere and it dries it makes like cloudy effect I don't know how to explain so whn I was out it was very hot and sweating too much as soon as I don't in the mall it I din swear again.and not to mention I did use setting spray which is model in the bottle as I thought that would hold my makeup very well

I don't know how to explain how my face looked not separate only but it looked like extra powder which I though it caused that cloudy effect while I was sweating.I don't know if I made sense??

I prefer translucent powders for day-time use. NYX HD Photogenic powder never looks weird on me and I'm quite oily.

Rather than reapplying powder, try blotting your face :) And I agree with the other girls. Translucent powders are great!

I never re-powder during the day, so I agree with Hannah on simply blotting excess oil. As long as you aren't rubbing your face, you should see minimal (if any) disturbance to your makeup.

I never re apply either as I'm a busy mum once I put makeup I never get time to touch up.I used the mac powder foundation as I dint like to look of liquid foundation on me in this hot and humand weather then I topped it with rcma no color powder just to keep me extra matte.
