Foundation breaking up on nose

Hi combo friends!! This is an issue I've struggled with for a while. It seems like whatever I do, my makeup always breaks up and slides off my nose!! I'm not super oily, but I am a bit more slick in the T-zone. I've tried powdering multiple times, I've tried matt/pore filling primers, I've even tried setting the primer before foundation which only ends up in a Cakey disaster. Is there any skin care I can add to help with this issue, or any other products that may help? I'm currently using purity face wash, origins modern friction to exfoliate, purity moisturizer and I occasionally use the origins perfect world toner! I've attached some pictures below, this was approx. only 3 hours after I finished applying my makeup.

Prep your skin and use MAC Paint Pot on your nose.

i had this same problem a few months ago. i found that prepping my skin first super well before makeup is key! Kiel's ultra facial moisturizer is by ride or die for prepping! i also found that pore filling/matte primers made the caking up around my nose so much worse! make sure you are also not using an overly matte/full coverage foundation, i find that light weight and flawless is the way to go. i love the Armani maestor glow foundation for a flawless, fresh look.

I use Paula's Choice Shine Stopper and it's a life saver!! Make sure you pat it on and don't rub it in though.
