Do you use primer before your minerals?

i always use artdeco primer, love it!

Yeah I use a primer before my MMU, too. It's helps the finish and keeps it on my face. Currently using PX primer and MMU.

Sometimes. It depends on the weather (very hot and humid) and also on the foundation I plan to use. If they have a high spf, I find that primer tends to make me oilier and sometimes becomes more difficult to do a really great finish, so I skip it!

It depends for me. If I'm just going out to run errands for a little while or at one class and am in a non-makeup mood I don't but if I'm going full out I do. I haven't had any issue at least not yet.

I love my mineral makeup powder foundation and use it on days when you don't want to go all out. It's just so perfect.

I tend to be oily so this is what I do:

I used Rare Minerals (from Bare Escentuals) Facial Burst Mist and let it dry. The facial mist is great if you're afraid of using moisturizer (although the BE one is fabulous). I then apply the BE Prime Time Primer -- like it better than the oil control one believe it or not. When I can remember, I apply Mineral Veil BFORE I apply the foundation, then brush on Mineral Veil after I have thoroughly buffed on the minerals. Makes your face look radiant!

I use BE Mineral Veil all over or MOM on just my tzones.

I use the Boscia primer. I like it because it uses natural ingredients and for me that generally helps reduce any risk of a reaction.

I noticed some primer suggestions weren't particularly natural in ingredients.. doesn't that defeat the purpose of mineral foundation? But I will try that Boscia one.. I'm also looking for a primer suited to mmu on oily skin.
