I live in Texas, during the Summer, cold for us is 97 degress hahah so when it comes to foundation there is nothing I can wear :( I wear MUFE HD and love it and I use a NARS powder but I ALWAYS end up with a mustache haha, do you know what I mean, where your upper lip sweats so you wipe it a few times and BAM you are a little darker than where your upper lip is.

I am a photographer and hate that all my clients see me dreadfully awful. I just can't wear makeup to a shoot because like I said I will have that upper lip stash. Ha

Any help for sweaty summer foundation!?

I hear that BB cream is all the rage. I haven't tried it personally thought. Either that or a tinted moisturizer.

Do you use a primer? If not pickup some Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Gel. It has the same ingredient as Smashbox primer but much cheaper.
I can finally wear makeup in Alabama heat because of the Monistat.

Any primer I try leaves my face gross. I am actually looking into making a primer that fits my face, I hope it works out okay. But I mean when you sweat you sweat, no matter what you are gonna wipe makeup off along with that right? I think maybe summer is not makeup season for me lol

try any bb cream, its more of a moisturizer then a foundation, so its not going to feel like its melting off of your face. garnier's bb cream is my favorite. its also not too expensive, between $10-$15
as for blush, try a lighter pink blush.
hope this helps!

The reason why your foundation is not stay longer because the first base on your skin care, try to put enough skin tonic before the base. And I agree BB cream is good foundation, easy to apply also you don't need to put much, only part that you should cover (triangle cheek & forehead, and a little on your nose). And for the powder I like to use Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre natural finish loose powder, its cover my face really good, and i usually spry my face after makeup using Avene Eau Thermale to make my makeup stay longer even in very hot weather. I am photographer too and also makeup artist, I understand your feeling:)

So I have added a primer primarily ;) cute, to my face, especially under my nose and using blotting paper, and it has helped sooo much. I mean by the end of the day it isn't pretty but it lasts a lot longer than it was!

I can't wait for Fall and Winter hahaha
