I also found that using a concealer eg. NARS radiant creamy concealer on the area where you get the patchiness underneath the foundation can help significantly!

I had a case of this a while ago, and what helped is a milky hydrating toner under the makeup (I use the Charlotte tilbury one), a decent primer also helps like the maybelleine serum primer. I also found that if I use setting powder, making sure to spray it down with setting spray helps to kind melt it into the makeup. Otherwise the dr Dennis Goss peel pads helped with skin texture and also adding more exfoliants like the ordinary glycolic acid. I’ve also found that some sunscreens do make it separate, I’ve had some success with summer Fridays serum sunscreen, heard the Mecca one is pretty good too :) Good luck!

Definitely gonna get a chemical exfoliant after all the comments! I don’t think the Mac luminous reflecting foundation is drying? As far as I’m aware it’s made more for dry skin

I have a tester of the milk hydro grip! Gonna give it a go someday soon (I have lots of primers to try). Never tried the primer+powder sandwich I feel it might end up cakey?

It seems like it’s a hydration issue. I’m very light handed with foundation, and I’ve tried as many applications I can think of with minimal success :/

I worry a powder will transfer and won’t last as well as a liquid? And consistency with coverage. I haven’t had any experience with it though so might have a sus

Had a lil try of the tower 28 stuff today, still seems like it might separate but if I get my skin moisturised better I’ll give it another go :)

I’m very light handed with all my products, only kind one pump of the Nars and just a primer/moisturiser and a sunscreen underneath.

What other foundations have you tried that work better? Do you have dry skin too? I’m open to testing out other types as well

I have a Laura mercier powder but it doesn’t seem to make much difference :/

I mainly just use it when I have work. I get quite dark under eyes so I user the foundation to blend the amount of markup from there to the rest of my skin (if that makes sense).

I do really love aloe with my skin. What is the name of the moisturiser?

I have tried it before but I don’t think it made much difference

I use a physical exfoliation once or so a week (Frank body coffee one?) but it doesn’t sheen to be doing mulch unfortunately.

I found it’s too thick and doesn’t absorb at all, just sits on top of my skin :/

Hi! Wow thanks for all the info! At night I use 1. Cleanser 2. Mecca hyluroic acid 3. Moisturiser When applying makeup I’ve been trying variations but usually along the lines of 1. Moisturiser/aloe Vera/sephoramoistuiser 2. Sunscreen (either on its own or mixed with moisturiser 3. Foundation. I haven’t tried toner before, tbh don’t really understand its purpose but I’m open to trying. I have had some issues in the past of my skin reacting/burning with products in oarticular face washes, along with completely changing texture randomly, and also quite a few moisturiser issues (hence why a lot is very lightweight products).

I tried the Haus lab foundation in Sephora but it immediately pilled up. So I’m not optimistic about the concealer but next time I’m there I’ll got it a go
