Have any of y'all ever tried mixing moisturizer with primer? Currently trying out No7 beautifully matte primer and oil free neutrogena moisturizer and having trouble working the primer over the moisturizer!

I don't think you're really supposed to. Let the moisturizer soak in for 10-20 minutes.

Haha yeah I find it works better if I let it soak into my skin. Moisturizer can take quite a while to become dry on the skin.

Very true. Any types on working in a primer that seems to dry almost instantly?

Hmm that's a tough one. My suggestion would be to apply very small amounts to your face. Try to work in sections (chin, cheeks, forehead) and try not to cover the whole face all at once. (:

Awe man! Were you able to find a better one? I have oily skin I'm not sure if you do as well.

For oily skin I suggest you try using milk of magnesia as a primer. It's cheap and it works wonders for oily skin.
