[Skin Concerns] - My skin oxidizes makeup like crazy. Any ideas why?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi /r/skincareaddiction! So this is a bit of an off the wall question, but it's something I have been curious about.I've had this problem as far back as I can remember. I have extremely fair, cool toned skin with a teeny bit of pink. My skin tone is "ice princess" and has been my whole life. This makes this issue really super visible when it happens, to the point where people will comment on it. I also have chronic dry skin.When I was first wearing makeup, back at age 12 for musical theater, my face was orange by the end of the show. I had no skincare routine to speak of at the time, other than washing my face with body wash at night IF I remembered (I know, I know) so it wasn't a product interaction. In my early 20's, I started to get into makeup to wear for work and professional occasions. I discovered I still turned orange, but tried to hide it with a layer of stark white powder, which made me look super cakey. It looked exactly as awful as you're thinking it did.Today, I can minimize the problem with a silicone primer, but no matter what I'm always a shade or two darker at the end of the day. And if I forget that layer of silicone? I'm an Oompa Loompa by lunch. I've tried a variety of foundations, amounts of foundation (pack it on to so little it makes no difference), primers, cleansers, moisturizers, the Wayne Goss method, using blotting paper every hour, and no luck.Any ideas as to why this might be happening, and any tips on how to minimize it? Thank you!
