Does anyone have suggestions on keeping foundation from coming off?

I don't mean like setting spray but more like if you hug someone and the foundation comes off on their shirt. Or you fall asleep and half your makeup comes off on your pillow.

I've watched YouTube videos before but they always use like ten different products and while I would consider doing that for my job, if there's another way, I would rather do that.

I use Fenty by the way. I don't think it's the foundation that's the problem. I've read a lot of comments in videos that lead me to believe other people have this problem.

Do you powder after you apply foundation? If you don't, try applying some loose setting powder. Use either a puff or sponge, applying with a kind of pressing and rolling motion.

Do you have oily skin? If so, try a primer specifically for oily skin. Try something drugstore, that way if it doesn't work, you won't have wasted a fuck ton of money.

Applying powder helps, using primer helps, and setting spray for long wear helps (Urban Decay's "All Nighter" is amazing, btw).

Also, while it is important to put makeup on a clean face after your moisturizer, make sure your moisturizer has been given time to settle into your skin before you apply any makeup. If you apply makeup immediately after your moisturizer, that might mess up with the performance of your makeup.

Urban Decay's setting spray is really god tier. Sephora has a good deal going right now on a two-bottle pack, fyi.

Even so, on warm + humid days, I ran into the issue of my foundation breaking in my t-zone no mattered how I'd primed, powdered, moisturized with an oil-control formula, used a setting spray, etc. There were just a couple of spots that'd always get gross by the end of a long, hot day, and of course they were right in the middle of my face. I was even trying the top-rated and expensive stuff that had long-lasting coverage as its selling point. Nope.

100% solution to every issue I had: IT Cosmetics' Your Skin But Better CC+ cream, applied thinly with a wet blender and built up to the desired levels. It is cakey if you apply a lot at once or with a dry tool, but built up, it's beautiful coverage, and the snail secretions in it mean that it locks onto my skin and never, ever moves.
 
perhaps weirdly, the very best thing I have found for blotting one's face (whether sweat due to weather or just general blotting) that doesn't screw up my makeup is... coffee filters.
 
My local Target now sells a $20 microneedling tool and I've been tempted by it a few times. I've heard some people say they're good but other saying that they're dangerous for consumers to use.
The Beauty Brains respond:
It sounds crazy but poking holes in your skin can actually help!

Collagen Induction Therapy
Poking your skin with a needle studded roller is technically referred to as Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy (or CIT). CIT has been used by dermatologists for the last decade or so as a way to reduce wrinkles and scar tissue without significant side effects. Basically, the process involves numbing your face and then poking it with fine needles a few millimeters long. These micro perforations trigger increased collagen synthesis which can fill in wrinkles and help heal scars. Other benefits include improved skin tightness, reduced acne scars and stretch marks, as well as improved scar color.

Amazing, isnt it? Here’s how it works: The needles cause an inflammatory response which triggers a complex series of reactions involving chemotactic factors, neutrophils, and fibroblasts. This process leads to the creation of new skin cells that promote collagen deposition. But here’s the catch: for this procedure to be effective the the needles need to be at least 1.5 mm and have a diameter of 0.25 mm. So, because of potential side effects (not to mention potential pain), only a trained dermatologist should administer the procedure.

DIY Danger
The distinction in needle length is an important one: some companies who make these rollers are very clear about the difference between the professional models for medical use and the home models for cosmetic use. But other less scrupulous companies blur the difference and imply that the home model will provide all the benefits of the medical treatment. Some are even so bold as to state that their needle rollers will cure cellulite and baldness. I’m surprised no one is marketing this technology as a breast enlargement treatment!

The Beauty Brains bottom line
Poking your face with needles (when done by a trained professional) is a legitimate treatment to increase collagen. But the Do It Yourself version is another story all together. If the roller has the proper type of needles to be effective then it is a medical device that should only be used by a trained professional. And if it uses smaller needles, then it may be safe for you to use on yourself as an exfoliant, but it won’t provide the same collagen stimulating effect. So either way, when it comes to DIY face needling, let the buyer beware!
tl;dr= it should be done by a dermatologist. home models will help exfoliate but will not help your skin produce more collagen.

I want to order a Kiwi-o'-lantern shirt and I'm trying to figure out which size I should go with. According to the chart in the OP I am in the XS/S range body length wise but chest wise I am in the M/L range. Would it be wiser to go with a small size or a medium size shirt?
Just go with medium. If it's too big, it's not like you'd be wearing a Kiwi Farms shirt anywhere where appearances matter, right?

edit: big tiddy problems, amirite

Well, sometimes I'm in the mood for looking good even when I'm at home :P But you're right, it's better to go with something that might be too big length-wise than something that will feel too tight over your chest. Medium sounds like the best choice
 
Never used jelly highlighter, but liquid highlighters have been around a long time. I can't even remember how long I've been using benefit high beam (I now prefer shy beam especially for cheekbones, but high beam is still good).
 
Has anyone use jelly and/or liquid highlighter? If so would you recommend or is it just a gimmick product?

I've used this before. It's fine, just use less than you think you would need. I still think Milani's pressed powder highlighter is the best on the market.

Do you guys use it after you've done your foundation etc? I've seen it mixed with foundation before for a glowy base, my main worry with using jelly or liquid on top of my foundation is that it would just sit there.. does it blend well? Definitely tempted by this:

Yusss, I saw people hated the red one and were like wtf do I do with this but i figured the rose gold shade might be more wearable. Maybe I'm safer just buying from coverfx or something even tho I find this packaging practically irresistible... D:
Also that lady is fat and I would not have sex with her
 
I use liquid highlighter over my liquid foundation, but before powder. I like more natural looking highlighter though. If you wanted a bolder look you probably wouldn't do it that way or you'd go heavier with the liquid highlighter before setting face. I've never tried mixing liquid highlighter with foundation for allover use, though it would probably work. Again I haven't used jelly but it does seem like it might be tricky to get it to work with the other textures of product on your face, probably depends on individual product 🤔
