Please help me find a way to use make up again, my low self esteem is getting worse?

Question

Due to Medications I have a horrible time with make up, what can women who sweat profusely facially due to medications, no body sweating, no body odour sweating, just facial swaeting, do to prevent the following, make up just melts/sweats off, I have tried everything from $160 "base coats" to Rexona roll on antiperspirant applied to my face before applying make up, I want to appear attractive, I take the time to do my daughters make up before she goes out, yet I can't wear it myself, I have to remain on these medications for the rest of my life, any suggestions would be gratefully recieved, this is making my low self esteem even worse and due to my health I am on a Disability Pension so I have a very low budget to work with, PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!

try a mineral powder foundation.  they are very popular and very effective!  they are a little bit more then normal foundation but they last a lot longer - do not melt off as easily and are actually good for your skin.  also - buy blotting papers - or just use tissue every now and then to blot the sweat.  
also - see if you can find a moisterizer that will minimize the moisture.

I volunteered as a clown so this was one of the secrets we used so not sweat off our make-up. we would take a sock, put baby powder in it and dab it on our face after we put on the make-up. Maybe try doing this but ad your powder foundation with a little baby powder it might help
