Please help me! At the end of the day my make up looks dry and my face looks dry. It looks like a ify make up evaporated like a puddle and it looks gross... Also when I first put it ok I don't like how it looks... It looks to powdery and caked on. But if I skip putting powder my face looks oily from my foundation stick?? Plead help me I don't know what to do?

It sounds like you have dry skin. If I may ask, what foundation/powder are you currently using?

I may know your problem. The Benefit Play Sticks are supposed to be cream to powder. If you apply that, and then apply a matte powder, it will look especially thick, cakey, and powdery. This would also make it just look worse as the day wears on.

And if the Play Stick still looks bad without the powder, it probably isn't good for your skin type.

Are you using a good moisturizer and primer before you apply makeup? Cami has a really good point too.

Thank you so much cami!! I'll see what my make up looks like without powder if I let it sit to adjust. If it doesn't improve what would you recommend I use?

Try a foundation for combo skin. I've heard great things about Revlon Colorstay for Combo/Oily Skin, Estee Lauder Double Wear, and Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover. Set them with your Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. Make sure to properly prep skin before and use a primer. Good luck!
