I've used Dermablend for 15 years. This is the only makeup I use and it covers very well. The trick to this makeup is how you apply it. After scooping out what you need and placing in your palm, use the spatula to stir it around. The heat of your hand will soften the makeup. Keep working it until it's as soft as you want it. In the winter, I'll breathe into my palm if my hands are cold. I always start with a makeup primer on my trouble ares. The chin, laugh lines and upper lip and the little creases beside each nostril. This is where the makeup likes to separate but if you use primer first it won't separate at all during the day. I then use a cosmetic sponge wedge. The disposable kind. On areas I need more coverage, I pat the makeup on. Then I let it set for a couple of minutes (air dry) and then I pat another layer on. After my entire face is covered to my liking I walk around my house for about 5 minutes to allow the makeup to set up on it's own. On hot days, I'll stand in front of a fan to help it along. Then I take my big powder puff and lightly tap on powder all over my face. Then I'll brush off the excess with a giant makeup brush. Once that is done, I apply the rest of my makeup. During the day I gently blot my chin and around my laugh lines and creases by each nostril with kleenex. You don't need special blotting papers. Kleenex and toilet paper work just as well. Sometimes I put a little compact powder on my face but otherwise, this makeup doesn't budge and I never have to touch it up. I've worked out with it on. I've been caught in a down poor of rain with it on. It never moved. Yes it will rub off if you blow your nose. Yes it will smudge onto your clothes if you are not careful. It's makeup, not a tattoo. It does, can and will come off if you don't pay attention to what you are doing. But for those of us that need the coverage of this makeup, it works.
