Hey everyone!
Im really struggling finding a foundation that stays put on my forehead and chin, I've tried Estée Lauder double wear and Mac long wear but it keeps going patchy on my forehead and chin!
I use a primer before hand and translucent powder to set after but nothing seems to help!
If anyone could recommend or give me tips that would be amazing! ������

What primer are you using? What powder are you using? How are you applying the foundation? What's your skincare routine?

(Also: I moved this to Recommendations.)

Double Wear and Pro Longwear are both full coverage foundations. You could be applying too much of it. What you can try is applying a thin layer with your fingers, let it set for a minute, then buff it in. Do that one section at a time. You could also be using too much setting powder, and that can lead to your foundation looking patchy. Try using a fluffy brush; you'll apply less product that way. (I'm not a fan of powder puffs, personally.) You could also try omitting setting powder, since both foundations dry down to a matte(ish?) finish.

But before applying primer or foundation, you should be moisturizing, no matter what your skintype. (Yes, even oily skins need to be moisturized.)
