I currently use simple skin care facial light moisturizer with spf 15 and then I put on my make up. I use the bare minerals powder foundation. Should I use a primer after my moisturizer? I feel like I need another way for my bare minerals foundation to stay on longer! I hear a lot of great things about the hourglass primer so I was just seeing if that is something I should consider? I also hear there are different types of the hourglass primer so I am not sure which one would work for me. I have sensitive/acne prone skin.

I don't know about the hourglass primer but I do have the bareminerals foundation and I would suggest your use primer before apply that foundation because it doesn't last long if I don't do that :)

Yes,I use prime time one and I quite like it but sometimes I also use benefit porefessional to hide my pores :-)

I use primer. I alternate between Benefit Porefessional and Benefit Dr Feelgood. I think primers really do make your makeup last longer, and if you have 'pore issues' like me, they really help create the illusion of smooth face.

I heard smashbox make good primers
