Hi - maybe someone can help me with a foundation problem I'm having lately. My foundation has been separating and "polka-dotting" in the pores on my cheeks and nose and nothing I do is preventing it. I have tried using mineral foundation, powder foundation, liquid - nothing is working - it's all separating and polka-dotting.
I've been using Olay Moisture Rich Cream Cleanser and Olay Sensitive Skin Moisture Therapy Lotion. Then I've been applying either mineral foundation or a liquid (I have Neutrogena Visibly Even and Cover Girl Clean Oil-Control - my skin is more combo) and I also have Maybelline Pure Stay powder foundation. I tried skipping the moisturizer, using a different moisturizer that I can tolerate - nothing is helping. I still get separation and polka-dots.
I am limited in my skincare options - I have finally found a cleanser and moisturizer that don't irritate my skin, so I don't want to change that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any good foundations that don't separate? I need something that wears like iron - I work in a daycare chasing toddlers around all day, so I don't have a lot of time for touch-ups. Anyone?
Thanks!
Beth
P.S. - everything I currently own is oil-free - would that make a difference? Should I try something with a little oil in it?
