Dear Andi,
When I apply my foundation it balls up in little clumps. What’s up and how can I fix it?
The last thing you want from your makeup is added texture on your skin. There are two reasons this happens and you can tell by the look of the offending clumps.
Dry and crumby: You need to exfoliate! The friction of applying foundation, especially if you use a sponge, is loosening all of the dead skin cells on your face. Yuck, 
right?
A gentle face scrub, like Origins Modern Friction, once a week will slough off the dead skin.
Also, using a washcloth to wash your face, or disposable face wipes, instead of your hands will keep dry skin at bay.
Wet rolls: You need more time! I know that’s the most obvious statement ever said to a mom, but in this case I think it can be achieved.
Your foundation is rolling off your face because of too much lotion. Either your lotion is too heavy for your skin (try switching from a cream to a lotion) or you are not giving it enough time to sink in.
Easy solution, put your moisturizer on when you first wake up, then brush teeth, make breakfast, or one of the other million things moms do every morning, then come back and apply your makeup.
