Hi I have combination skin, oily t zone and slightly dry to normal skin on the other areas. However my foundation always smudges just with one touch especially on my nose.
I use a mattifying primer and also set my makeup with loose powder and UD setting spray. However my makeup still moves and smudges easily. It also cakes up after half of the day.
What's the problem of it? Is the foundation too drying or too heavy for me? Or is there anything else I can do to solve this problem? I don't need much coverage, just a light natural makeup look to brighten up my skin.
I'm using Dior nude air foundation serum. Any other good recommendation of foundation/bb creams that stays well on the face?

Are you using a setting spray? If not I would get one

I think you may need to change up your skincare routine. I've had the same problem as you- oily skin, with some dry areas, and makeup sliding off despite primer, powder and the all nighter spray. However, I realised my skincare routine made a huge difference. I've changed to a mattifying face scrub, and an oil free moisturiser and it has made my makeup stay on a lot longer. Also try a tacky primer rather than mattifying, e.g. post nivea shave balm.

What kind of primer are you using?
Some of those clear gel types of primers tend to work better on normal to slightly oily skin.
When I used some of the gel-types they would make my foundation transfer more easily/feel heavier

I had the same problem. I started using Guerlain L'Or primer, it is silicone free, weightless and really sticky so the foundation will not go everywhere. Also, I use YSL Encre De Peau Foundation which, I promise, does not go anywhere for the whole day.

@Hafsa I use skincare products for oily combination skin but my makeup still slides off. Any good moisturizer to recommend?

@aurora I'm using a liquid to lightweight cream type of primer but makeup still transfers. What primers are you using that works for you?

You do need to use a good moisturizer even if your skin is oily. It can actually make your skin less oily if you moisturize regularly.
