"spotty" foundation?
Hey ladies,
I'm a Nestie from way back (years ago) and need advice on a make up problem.
My foundation never stays on my nose, ending up uneven & spotty. The best way I can describe it is that is seems to 'slide' off or something. This is the case regardless of what primer, foundation (other than powder, which I don't use all the time) or BB cream I'm using. It really doesn't even matter whether I'm wearing primer as it happens with or without.
My evening regimen is to oil-cleanse, followed by a rose water toner & vitamin C moisturizer, with an occasional sugar scrub exfoliation. Mornings are nothing more than rinsing my face with warm water and patting it dry. The rest of my skin is exactly how I want it, but my nose is apparently still oily yet flaky/dry at the same time (yeah, I know). It's almost as if it's immune to my skin care routine.
Anyway, I am not sure what is causing this or how to remedy it, but it's embarrassing and frustrating. Help me, please. 
Re: "spotty" foundation?
Does it just come off or does it get greasy? You could also try a mattifying product. PUR minerals makes a product that is supposed to help control oil - it's not necessarily a primer, but it is similar.
My only other thought is to try applying a loose powder foundation (like Bare Minerals) but with a concealer brush. I use Bare Minerals mainly to conceal, and I usually cover all of my nose with it and then apply my regular powder foundation on top. It works well for me, so it might be work a try for you. I'm also in the same boat in that I have areas on my face that get dry, but I also am acne-prone and touch up my makeup a few times a day because it gets a little oily.
