How to keep foundation from fading? (10 points)?

Question

I already use a primer and a powder to set my foundation.

Ive tried switching foundations(many times) but it still starts to fade off my skin about two hours after I put it on. Please help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Answer 2

and.. wash your face before you apply makeup.

like ten min. before with water.

Answer 3

Try the Covergirl TruBlend foundation.

Answer 4

What kind of primer do you use?

It all depends on that. There are two primers that i would suggest.

The first one would be from MAC. If you go on the MAC website you will see all of the ones they have. I got my makeup done for prom two years ago and the girl used a MAC one and my makeup stayed on all night.

The other thing i would suggest to you is Smashbox Photofinish Foundation Primer. I've used that many times and it works really well. I am an aspiring makeup artist and I use this on myself and many of my clients.

Answer 5

If you are already using a primer and loose powder to set the makeup, I am guessing maybe you are using a very light coverage foundation. Try something with a bit more coverage, all medium coverage foundations are not cakey/clown like. Here are a few really nice ones from different price points that I have tried:

1. Cover Girl Advance Radiance (About $10)

2. Chanel Teint Innocence (About $40)

3. L'Oreal Cashmere Perfect (About $12)

They give really long lasting coverage- I put my foundation on at about 6:30am before work, and it lasts all day until after 6 at night. I hope this helps you! :-)
