So, I have very dry skin and its really red (roseca) and I'm having trouble with it blending, I have like white peach fuzz a little bit on my cheeks and like on my nose, could this be what's causing it not to blend so well and look like it just sits on my skin? I have the supplies to wax it off do you think that would help?! :( p.s, I use moisturizer before, hourglass mineral veil primer and clinique eedness solutions foundation
thanks lovelys! ;)

If it is hair wax it off but it could just be dry skin. Your foundation or primer must be drying out your skin. I recommend going a couple days with no or little makeup. Like skipping foundation and just concealing. especially of you are just around your house. Go out and buy a new foundation ( elf has some for like a dollar and I love it!) see if it is your makeup. if your skin looks better in 9 days of not using your regular foundation don't go back to it. also make sure to put on lots of lotion and maybe get some cream for roseca or see a dermatologist. ;)

Moisturize with lotion right before you put foundation on. Also,there are foundations specifically for dry skin you can look into those. But the dry skin is most likely what's preventing blending so again moisturize!

Also, use a duo fiber brush to blend. It'll help you build coverage with out looking cakey and the loose, flexible bristles will glide over your skin.

Try to look for a foundation and a primer which are moisturizing!

Moisturize! I have dry skin with like little tiny peach fuzz like you
And as long as I moisturizer before putting on my foundation it blends in seemlessly. Make sure to wait until the moisturizer sets in before you apply your foundation or it will defeat the purpose(:
