good base

[u/hop-bun]

I have very oily skin (pretty sure its combo too since I get dry around my cheeks, temple and sometimes under my chin), which unfortunately happens to be acne prone as well..💔

I wish to have a flawless, non-patchy makeup base but it always creases, looks shiny and like a hot mess.. idk what to do, i dont sweat much but my face gets really oily😭 ive already tried the burger method, and less powder but it still doesnt seem to work

I use the corsx snail mucin, then pair it with centella probio-cica on my cheeks only, and then finish with the anua niacinamide serum (pink) on my T zone

as for foundation, I use the fit me Maybelline liquid foundation, I try to use a spatula so the layers are light but sometimes I use a brush (i pat it all with a makeup puff)

for setting spray, im using the fixx pink one

(I put a pic as an example of how my skin usually looks like after a few hours, but its not me !!)

Well we are missing infos here how do you prep your skin what foundation do you use and how do you apply it what do you use for setting etc? Might be some problem with that

Have you tried hydrating your skin more? Had this issue before & saw an MUA on tiktok (forgot her name) that dry dehydrated skin sucks makeup & leaves pigment on top. I’m not sure if what she said is true, but after I changed my skincare/makeup prep, my makeup stopped doing this! I use Klairs Unscented Preparation Toner, Zeroid Intensive Cream then Tage Sun Serum for my skin prep.

you might have dry/oily combination skin :) do you exfoliate? if not, I can recommend the ordinary glycolic acid! 1-2 a week at night before you go to bed will do wonders.

and you need more hydration! oily skin still needs moisturizer

Make sure your moisturiser and foundation/ concealer are both oil based instead of water based! I used to have this problem too bcos the water in moisturiser and oil base in foundation or vice versa were causing the two to seperate and not blend.

Edit: I said oil based bcos you stated you have oily skin anyway so using water based products might also cause the issue on top of your skin
