Foundation question?

Question

last year for school i wore foundation and everyday it would become oily and look sort of orange and blochy and well... gross. i always applied moisterizer to my face before putting it on and i think thats what did it. should i put a power on before or after i apply the foundation?

Answer 1

Okay first what i would do is get a really good primer, most people don't use it but trust me it is worth it!

It job applying moisterizer before, that keeps it from getting all dry.

1. apply moisterizer

2.apply primer

3.apply foundation ( one reason it may be oily and orange is simply b/c of the foundation you have, and not b/c you are doing anything wrong. Or you might just be applying too much.)

4.apply powder to set the foundation. (this step isn't really needed but it does help if your foundation runs and/or it gets really oily.)

hope i helped!

Answer 2

ok first buy a better foundation try loreal true match its amazing

then buy a primer mac makes one and so do some other brands

then put on the primer and wait a minute then apply the foundation

then buy a translucent or tinted powder and apply it all over

then go to school bring the powder with you and apply it if you look oily

but you have to get the right tone for your skin

like don't get the darkest on when your pale

get it?

Answer 4

I suggest trying a different foundation

That lets your skin breathe and doesnt mix with sweat and oils from your skin

These can be more expensive but the finish will be better

Answer 5

Powder seals the foundation and keeps it in place. Moisturizer before is so great because if you dont you body will try to produce more oil thinking its dry. I also keep Clean and Clear oil absorbing dry pads because  after walking around a college campus all day in the south and you will sweat!  

Answer 6

1. different foundation, try a water base type

2. match your skin colour

3. by a matching powder foundation

4. apply liquid with a foundation brush coz when you apply with your fingers, your oil/grees from you fingers goes to your face. apply only a small amount. if you need to by concealer and apply before

5. then lightly apply the powder...i cant remember propper technique.
