Foundation Nightmare

[Kdubb12]

I have tried almost every full-coverage, matte foundation that sephora offers. I have combination skin and get very oily in my t-zone. I'm using the Estee lauder double wear stay in place foundation, but I still get oily in my t-zone by the end of the day and it melts off my face. I also use Yves Saint Laurent foundation, but it oxidizes and I end up looking yellow. It also melts off my face. I use the smashbox photo finish primer and set my makeup with a loose powder. I'm very frustrated that I cannot find a foundation I LOVE and looks good all day. Am I using the wrong primer? Should I set my makeup differently? I'm at a loss right now.

Hi @Kdubb12 - That's stinks! Curious, have you tried using a powder-based foundation? Bareminerals & Clinique make some really solid powder-based foundations that you might want to try. Plus compacts are much easier to carry with you for touching up throughout the day/night.
