Answer 2

Well the only other choice is in between then . I think you're probably using the convince store purchased makeup which is more likely to do that stuff. Use a higher quality face powder and foundation like the ones you may find at Sephora or MAC. They are more likely to blend with your actual skin tone than cover it up. That way you avoid being to light or too dark . There is a wider range of complexions other than toasty or porcelain. I find that even if you mix the two because of the quality you'll still kinda of have a glossy look to your face so i wouldn't mix.
