Josie Maran Matchmaker Powder Foundation, Help!!

I have used this and loved it because it did not emphasize my lines like most powder foundations. I ordered more and the foundation is cracking crumbling. It is very hard to use and the last one I had crumbled but it waited until it was almost gone to crumble. I didn't drop it etc, and don't push hard on the compact. Anyway, has anyone used her 5 in 1 tinted moisturizer or the liquid matchmaker foundation? I just cant stand the crumbling and getting it all over everywhere. If not, I need a foundation that doesn't settle in lines and make me look 10 years older. Tried the It Celebration foundation but it showed me lines I never knew I had. Maybe I wasn't applying it right. Can anyone help???

Her matchmaker liquid foundation is great. It has light coverage so if you are okay with that, I'd try it. Her TM is alot thicker so I would suggest the matchmaker liquid for you instead. I have her powder foundation and have not experienced any crumbling at all. Sorry yours is.

That's ok. I just thought it is probably a fluke. But I think I will try the liquid version and can always go back to the powder. Thanks HappyDaze for your reply.

I have all 3 of her foundations and like her TM the best but also love her serum one. I have not had problems with the powder one cracking.

I like her liquid foundation but the powder totally swatched a weird color on my hand. Thought it felt dry on my hand as well.

I use the powder and love it! when I need a little extra coverage I use the liquid foundation in light/medium. When I ordered the tinted moisturizer I needed the light 1 instead of the medium. I add a little tiny bit of HIAJ and it goes on very smooth.
