Foundations...PLEASE HELP

Before applying ANY foundation , make sure your skin is freshly cleaned and mosturized . Try using a light moisturizer if you have oily skin . After that , apply a primer . A primer is a very important step for keeping any makeup on , whether its eyeshadow or face makeup . My favorite is MACs prep and prime for face , and i have normal to oily skin . Ask the MAC ladies for help when you would like to purchase some . Secondly , ALWAYS set your foundation with any same colored face powder or translucent face poweder . But be careful not to put on too much of either , or you`ll risk looking like a "cake face" . A powder over top of your foundation will set the the foundation and provide a smooth dry feeling . And last but not least , you could try a setting spray . A setting spray will help keep your make up there all day without creasing or melting off or fading throught the day . MAC has one called FIX+ , but my personal favorite is Model In A Bottle . It helps keep makeup on all day , and 8 hours later it still feels fresh and not oily like my skin would without it . Model In A Bottle can be purchased at modelinabottle.com , and MAC can be purchased at maccosmetics.com or any MAC store . Hope thjis helps !
