Hi Kate, I found foundations that stay on thru sweating tend to look cakey and accentuate any lines. I used suntanning spray(neutrogena light so it doesnt really look tan) just to give me a little color so if foundation did come off, my skin tone was all one shade. (I was doing my face and neck) It would last a couple of weeks. I also found clean & clear dual action moisturizer worked well when my skin was breaking out. Hope this helps! momof4
