Why Is My Foundation Turning Orange?

Prime Your Skin 

Before cracking open your complexion product, priming your skin is a must. We like using the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer. “Using a primer creates an absorbent barrier that blocks the oils from altering the foundation,” says Lerma. Make sure to let the primer dry down before going over it with foundation.

Keep Your Face Oil-Free All Day Long

If you have naturally oily skin, keep products on hand to touch-up your makeup throughout the day. Lerma likes to use the Moda Powder Brush to swipe on translucent powder. Our newest go-to is the Urban Decay All Nighter Softening Loose Setting Powder. If you want a quick fix, throw oil-blotting sheets in your bag. “They’re fast, effective and a travel-friendly way to absorb excess oil,” says Lerma.

Buy Foundation a Few Shades Lighter 

Tried the above and still having little success? Buy foundation in shades that are just slightly lighter than your skin tone. “When the product warms up to your face and oxidizes it will be your perfect shade,” says Lerma.
