Welcome to the forum btw. If you mean your foundation maybe try one that adheres a little better. Primer can help hold your makeup on better as well. You can get inexpensive face primer and eye primer from places like E.L.F. Also, blotting sheets can help soak up excess oils from sweating to help it not all "slide" off.

As well as the tips given above there is a drag queen/pageant trick to try - but be warned this can cause breakouts and potentially cause allergic reactions so use at your own risk. A trick used in beauty pageants and among drag queens is to use a roll on deodorant along the hair line (not your entire face). Some prefer Dry Idea Advanced Dry, Antiperspirant & Deodorant Roll-On, Unscented. Again, due to the fact that it is a deodorant it can cause an allergic reaction due to the ingredients or cause break outs so use at your own risk. The tips above are better.

well, is LAKME ABSOLUTE MATTREAL SKIN NATURAL MOUSSE (BEIGE BROWN) good for me??........... will my sweat affect it and spoil my makeup??

Lakme isn't a brand that's readily available in the States. I think I've only seen it in India for the most part, so I can't speak for that actual foundation or whether it's good for you, but I would totally echo Dalylah's entire post and look into getting a primer and keeping blotting sheets, or blotting powder handy. If you find your foundation still melts off, then maybe it's time to try another one.

Another thing you might want to do is add some anti-shine or mattifying products into your skin care routine.

Definatly try some face primer before you put your makeup.

If you use a liquid foundation, put a translucent powder on top of it when you are done.

It keeps it from sliding of your face!
 

But if you do sweat a lot, your makeup won't stay on as well. Its just kinda what happens!

@bluelion.................... I m from India, thats y i m asking, here the climate is absolute disaster!

Yes, I can imagine! My parents live there for several months at a time each year, and they always try to get out of there before monsoon season starts. I've been there during the rains, and I remember putting on makeup at the start of the day, only to see it met off by the end. It got so annoying I just stopped bothering with foundation at all. This was several years ago, when primer wasn't popular yet, so I do wonder if that would make a difference today.
