    Do you use primer before your minerals?

    I love the mineral foundation I use, the color is perfect and so is the coverage. Only problem is after a few hours, it kinda sits on top of my skin, and I get all oily. I don't currently use a primer, I'm kind of scared of having a bad reaction to one and breaking out since my skin does have...

As great as my face looks by the time I'm done with the foundation and concealing yucky spots, once I apply blush, all those little red marks that...
