Prep and Prime Face under mineral makeup?

I was wondering if anyone has tried wearing Prep and Prime face under mineral makeup (BE). I want something for the makeup to adhere to and to make my pores look smaller. Do you think it will work?

I've been wondering about that too. I don't have Prep and Prime, but I just ordered some stuff from Sephora and one of the samples I'm getting is Smashbox's face primer. I was going to try it out under my BE foundation-- I'll let you know if it works! I would think if it does that MAC's primer would probably work too.

I haven't tried Prep and Prime Face under my mineral makeup, but when I use mineral foundations, I do use the Smashbox primer underneath them. Bare Minerals has a tendency to make my pores ginormous, and the primer helps, but I find it to be by no means a miracle in preventing the pore appearance explosion! It does help the foundation to go on more smoothly and blend better, but alas, the huge pore problem remains!
