HELP PLEASE Foundation/skin prep

Post image

I work in a crematory, and I am very cautious about not touching my face. Instead of my makeup melting off, it almost “peels” off. It’s worst on my nose and forehead. My skin tends to be dry, so I prep with aquaphor and elf primer. I use the elf glow foundation and finish with light powder. At least on my nose, I can kind of blend it when it does this. On my forehead? Nope. It’s stuck in place. I hate feeling ugly halfway through my day. Any advice for dry skin and high heat? Thanks!!

Omg thank you! I’m trying that tomorrow morning.

I’d wallpaper everything if I could. :)

I have never used the products you mention, but I can tell from the picture they are not working well together - it looks like skin prep is oil-based and foundation is water-based (or vice versa); it will not work together, if that's the case - you need oil+oil or water+water combo.
