Hello! I’m a nurse in radiation oncology and I want a foundation that looks just as good at 430pm as it did at 730am, evens out my skin tone (natural red head with rosey cheeks I like to hide), doesn’t settle into pores or fine lines and looks natural with a radiant finish. Hoping this exists! I’m 34 for reference and can get oily around my nose and have large pores on my nose. I also sweat easy so I need something that can withstand hot times! TIA!
