So my skin is tricky, I have little tiny skin flesh bumps that I don't know how to get rid of but look really bad when I wear foundation, I'm very dry on certain areas yet very oily on my nose. When I wear foundation you can tell because it gets so caky and dull. Advice for good foundations or skin prep tips?
Thanks x

Hmm I get bumps once in a while and I was able to make them disappear using Avene Cleanance Expert... I'm not even kidding, it's magical, I don't know how they do it!

As for skin type, it seems like we have very similar textures. I have an oily nose and dry cheeks too.

I suggest you exfoliate once a week (not too much right now) with an exfoliant that has round beads in it, not St. Ives Apricot Scrub, please- that stuff has jagged edges.
You could also try AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) but go easy on them and don't go in the sun after using them.

What I do to keep my skin as glowing and healthy as possible, is I exfoliate, moisturize with a neutral and scent-free moisturizer, and let it sit. Then I apply Make Up For Ever Ultra HD foundation (this is only when I have red marks on my face, other times I'll use a CC cream or just concealer where I need it). I set it with the HD powder and then I spray my face with a couple spritzes of the Mist and Fix spray, also by MUFE.

I like to keep a mattifying powder or oil-absorbing papers in my purse for my nose :)
