Answer

It sounds like you need to start by prepping your skin before applying your foundation. Exfoliating and moisturising your skin every day is essential to give a smooth base for your foundation. You could also try using a primer, such as Napoleon Perdis Auto-Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer, after you moisturise, to smooth the texture of your skin and give extra staying power to your foundation. Make-up artist Sarah Tammer suggests using a cream foundation and recommends M.A.C Moistureblend Foundation. She advises using a gentle pressing motion with your fingers or a sponge when applying foundation, to help it blend into your skin.
