Try applying a primer before and don't put as much foundation over the smile lines. I have the same problem.

Any particular way of using it?

Just put on a very thin layer. I have oily skin and it works great.

Try different primers and see what one works for you. Some swear by more expensive brands but I know people who've got the best results with a tube that costs £4. Just see what works for you, but a primer would most help decrease creasing

Powder your face with a pressed or loose powder to set your foundation. It helps a lot with lines and makeup moving with perspiration.

I have the same issue as you! I have dry/combo skin and I tend to get oily on my nose. Here's what I do to prevent lines and keep my nose from getting oily!
1. Apply a primer. I use NYC and Smashbox. Sometimes I even mix them together!
2. Buff powder where you need it. I usually only do it where I get the lines as well as my nose. Too Faced Primed & Poreless works really well for me!
3. Apply Foundation (I use a mixture of Neautrogena Healthy Skin and Revlon Colorstay)
4. Apply powder all over face to set
5. Spray a setting spray all over your face to lock it in (I use Urban Decay's All Nighter Spray, but they also have De-Slick if you lean more towards the oily side!)
I hope that helped! :)
