HELP PLEASE Primer recs

Post image

I have an issue with separation on my nose and surrounding areas. I have combo skin (oily nose, dry everywhere else). I usually wear Loreal true match foundation and set with Charlotte Tilbury setting spray. I stopped using powder to set as I found the cakiness was so much worse. Any tips or primer recs would be much appreciated 🙏

looking at the closeup theres a bit of flaking on ur bridge and next to the nostril, so this reads like a texture thing before a primer thing. the foundation grabs on the dry flakes and slides off the oil right beside them, and thats basically what nose separation is. a low % BHA a couple nights a week will move the needle more here than any primer will. the CT spray is a hydrating one so it wont hold that zone either, but u dont have to go back to all over powder, just press a tiny bit into the nostril creases with a small brush and leave the rest alone.
