Why does my foundation look worse over primer?

I've tried smashbox, too faced, and a drugstore brand and it always sits on the primer instead of blending. Anyone else? Am I doing something wrong?

You may not need a primer if the foundation sets well without it.what do you use to apply the foundation?

Jacqueline H is correct! Also if you do use primer make sure you wait like a minute or so so it sets in and maybe use a sponge to pat it on I stead of applying it like a face cream it makes a difference

Only use a very very small amount. Maybe you're using too much. Or just use moisturizer.

You're either using too much or you just don't need it

I apply foundation with the urban decay optical blurring brush. I like the idea that my skin is so perfectly moisturized that I don't need primer! ;)

I really only use a tiny bit of primer on my Tzone...I just don't need it all over...so maybe give that a try.

Same here. Just starting using primer, its a nightmare. My foundation moves everywhere and does not set at all. I do not have oily skin, I only try to use it on my t-zone.
