Hey ladies! So I am looking for a primer that would work with my bare minerals powder foundation. I have heard nothing but great things about this primer, but I am not sure if it would work well with the mineral make up from bare minerals. Please help! I need my make up to stay on longer!

Also when you apply primer, how long should you let it dry before you apply your makeup?

I have combination skin that get shiny really easy with oil. I love the Hourglass primer for anything, liquid, powder, etc.

Thank you for answering Maryellen! Do you let it dry for a certain amount of time before applying your makeup?

Hi nicole this foundation is actually amazing I moisturize my face with fresh seaberry oil and once I apply Hourglass mineral veil it mattifies it hehe I personally think is amazing partnered with the hourglass immaculate liquid foundation but the primer I would recommend it's a yes they have samples at sephora if your iffy about it you could test it out so you won't feel you splurge if it doesn't work for you.

@diggie I have very oily skin and it does keep me less shiny throughout the day. sometimes the area around my nose looks a bit shiny after long hours of wearing it but then I'll just touch up with some powder.

Nicole, I do my skincare routine as soon as I get out of the shower, including primer. It does have time to dry before I start the makeup routine, but I don't deliberately let it dry down. There are times when I go directly from application of primer to makeup. I haven't noticed any difference and when I had a makeover they didn't wait.

Okay Maryellen! Thank you so much for getting back to me! I think I'll let the primer dry for a little bit before I apply just incase, I'm so excited to try this primer out!
