I have very dry skin that is also acne prone. I like using full coverage foundation and am currently using these products:

Clinique Age Defense BB Cream (as primer)
Clinique Acne Solutions liquid foundation
Clinique Advanced Concealer
Clinique Almost Powder (as setting powder)

I moisturize twice a day, so my skin isn't the issue. I use Clinique because it's oil free, which I need. However, the makeup still looks powdery and settles into my fine lines.

Should I use a primer under everything else? If so, what's the best one that won't break me out?

Would UD Dew Me spray be okay to use on my skin so I'm not so matte? Does anyone here use that?

Any other tips for avoiding this problem?

Only apply the powder where you need it most, for most of that's T zone. Then set your makeup with Evian mist. It will add moisture to your skin without encouraging break outs. The look will be dewy & natural. I do this on my own face & love it.
