I have two types...the grease makeup and a cream that's supposed to have a powder soft finish...and I plan on using both, but I've heard that if you sort of mix it in with foundation it stays on better...any hints or tips?

Grease makeup is typically a pain - it lasts long, but it's hard to get on, and hard to get off.
Depending on the quality of the cream, you might not need anything else. I've done a bit of costuming, and typically all we needed was to grab some makeup sponges and start painting. It'll smear a bit if you sweat a lot of rub at it, but otherwise, not too bad. The foundation might help it out a bit - I'd try mixing a small amount of the two on a piece of cardboard or something and compare to see how it goes.
And, a hint for cleanup - if you rub some cold cream on the makeup when you're ready to take it off, it comes off a lot easier. Baby wipes are pretty handy too. Depending on how long you've had the stuff on, though, you'll probably want to put on some of the cold cream after you're done, just to be nice to your skin.

The grease makeup should have a darker color to it when applied, so I'd put that down first. Then do a coat of the cream and use more of it for shadowing. In the movie, there isn't much variation in the color of her face, but you can make yourself scarier by adding some darker makeup around the eyes and just under the cheek bones.

You should just use the cream. If you use both of them it will stay on better.... for 3 whole days. I did that once and I to OK about 8 showers before it came off. Cream would be the best solution. p.s. if you want to touch up though it is OK to use a little bit of mixed concoction .

Never heard of mixing it with foundation. But you could do a small test patch. Apply it with a large makeup sponge.

don't "mix" them litterally - apply them sequentially (one at a time), grease first, then powder. It'll be a bit uncomfortable but it won't go anywhere. You'll have to work very hard at keeping it even though.
