Right now I'm using Almay color correcting luminous primer which I really love, and L'Oreal true match foundation, but it's gotten really hot and lately by the time I get off work my makeup is melting, especially on my nose. My nose is really bad.
I think it might be the primer that doesn't hold up with the heat. Or do I need something different, like a bb cream? Oh and I do use Urban Decays All Nighter setting spray. It doesn't help my nose.
Any suggestions on different primers or something?

Hmm. No I haven't. Maybe I will, thank you :)

I use the Kat Von D Setting Spray ( $18.00). It's very hot where I live and it's very humid since it rains so much. I asked Jacqueline H. ( Beautylish Moderator and Make Up artist ) what Setting Spray would be great to use and this is what she recommended.
She also has mentioned several times that the Urban Decay setting sprays actually do nothing in terms of helping your make stay put. If it's becoming really problematic, Jacqueline always recommends using a fixative spray ( The Ben Nye Final Seal) since it actually adheres make up to your skin.

Thank you both for your help!! You both gave really helpful answers :) I'm glad to know I probably don't have to change my primer cuz I really liked it. Kitty, I will definitely try the Kat Von D setting spray! Much cheaper than UD too. Is it sold at Ulta do you know?

Following this... I didn't like the urban decay spray. I get more oily by the end of the day wearing it than not using it. For a drugstore alternative Rimmel stay matte seems to help more than the other drugstore primers I have tried. I have been trying Nyx stay matte setting spray. It's better than UD but I don't know if I'm in love with it. Kat von d is great.

Thanks!! I actually don't want to be matte... I like a bit of a dewy or satin glow. I tried the Nyx dewy setting spray but couldn't stand it :/

For me, living in Florida, after about 3 or 4 hours, with the heat and humidity my makeup starts to wear off my nose or around because I get the most oily there. I don't like the matte look either but I find that if I use a Matte or Oil balancing primer it keeps my makeup on. So what I do is use the primer, then do my makeup routine, then I use a setting spray (currently nyx matte setting spray, I'm not left looking matte just not overly dewy that setting sprays do)to take away that powdery/matte finish. So by the time its done and for a long time after I have a dewy but not overly shiny/oily look. Regular primers don't cut it for me because of the heat. This works for me really well and by the time I'm done I look very natural and have a satin/dewy finish.
