Can't keep makeup on my nose!

[Anonymous]

I have been having a problem getting my foundation to stay on my nose! I have tried a few different face primers, but nothing seems to work. As soon as I accidentally touch my nose or try to apply contour or highlight my foundation seems to just wipe off (*cry*). A couple of people have recommended to me to try an eye shadow primer on my nose before using foundation. I am kind of new to this product, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good one for this situation? I have very fair/pale skin, so I sometimes have a difficult time finding anything that matches my skin tone. I'm also open to other suggestions to help keep my foundation on!

Thanks!

You could try different primers, but what about the foundation? It sounds like you have an oily nose, try a foundation that combats oil to keep you matte. Like the Estee Lauder double wear foundation. 

I do not have oily skin, however I used to use Revlon Color Stay and it was actually making my skin oily, leading to excessive touch ups in my T-Zone. 

Another thing---SETTING POWDER!! My all time favorite; Laura Mercier or a drugstore favorite; Coty Airspun. I swear I never get oily because I set my t-zone immediately after applying foundation. If you've heard the term "baking" I suggest putting a generous amount of powder on your nose and letting it sit there for a minute or 2 before contouring. xoxo good luck!

just put less or no primer on your nose. I had the same issue and it helps.

If it's not staying then I would definitely give an eye primer a try . I mean what's the worst that could happen? It doesn't work? I use bareMinerals little eye primer tube and my eyeshadow will stay on for 24 hours. So I could only imagine what it would do for your nose.
