What you can do is put on your foundation. Then concealer and powder. After that you can put on blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, etc. The foundation and powder makes the makeup stick.

I've used Mineral Powder makeup for a couple of years now. I found out recently that two friends of my sister-in-law were diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease and the doctor believes it was caused by the mineral makeup. I have given up my mineral makeup which I really, really liked. Lou Gehrig's disease is an awful disease and I don't want to take any chances on getting it. Just a word of caution.

I use Bare Minerals too and love it. It got me through my hot flashes intact, along with evening primrose oil and black cohash. They got rid of my "power surges." Best wishes.

Foundation primer should do the trick. There are several good ones on the market that are relatively inexpensive. If you don't need a lot of coverage, a tinted moisturizer might be a simpler alternative to heavy foundation.

Try a mattifying primer - L'Oreal makes a new one, i think it's called Studio Effects?

I started using those mineral powder foundations when I ran into this problem and they work much better for me. If I have to touch up so easy.. a quick brush. I was surprised at how good they conceal too. Maybe it will work for you.

I know how you feel as I am in the same situation. I apply less makeup in hot, humid weather. I skip liquid foundation as it just feels like a slick mask. I apply a little concealer, then some matte (oil-absorbing) face powder. It must be a good color match for your skin or else it looks bad. I touch up the powder later in the day.

My makeup does not last any length of time. Within 1/2 an hour, the eyeliner disappears, by noon my mascara is gone and my foundation is barely there.
