Can anyone give me a tip so my foundation stays on whenever i put it on it comes off about half an hour later?

Question

I use Dream Matte Moose and always apply it after I have applied moisturiser. I also wear some powder on top of that but it always seems to come off !! Can anyone give me some tips??

Answer 1

Use a primer :) It helps the foundation stick to the skin longer.

You would want to look at the higher-end primers.. like MAC has a great one, and you can find some great ones at sephora.

Then once you've applied the foundation, you will want to set it with a loose powder and blush brush of some sort.

hope i helped :)

Answer 2

The answer you want to hear: Use a primer after your moisturizer. It should help some.

The answer you don't really want to hear: Get a better foundation.  I have tons of suggestions for good foundations, but I would need to know your skin type and coverage preference plus you can't choose the right foundation until you try it on.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Answer 3

primer, laura mercier does an excellent primer

expensive but it works.

Answer 4

The Dream Matte is too sheer and light.  Its gonna rub off especially if you have oily skin.  When you wear moisturizer, don't wear too much.  Wait a few minutes to allow it to be absorbed by your skin.  Then follow with a primer so that the foundation has a neutral base to sit on.   Primers erase the little lines on your face, soften the skin and allow foundation to stay on longer.  

Next, you need to use a full coverage waterproof foundation.  3 excellent ones are Double Wear Foundation (liquid or powder form) by Estee Lauder and Full Coverage Foundation (compact) by MAC and Silk Perfections Compact Makeup and Lasting Performance Liquid Makeup both by Max Factor.   Most makeup counters will match a shade to your skin and give you a sample to try at home.  MAC is really good with this service.  Most of these samples are good sizes and give you 2-3 uses and sometimes more.

Lastly, when your face is all made up, keep your hands away from your face during the day.
