I went on an interview today and I wore very natural makeup with a little highlighter. Unfortunately, my powder foundation didn't sit right on my skin and made my pores look more bigger than they really are. Could this be the primer? I use Benefit's Porefessional with MAC Studio Fix Pressed Foundation. Usually, I forget to put on a primer, but I remembered this time. When I first applied it, it looked great, but after an hour in the sun it turned south. I have oily, acne prone skin. Should I nix the primer when wearing powder or mineral foundation? Thanks!

I will check them out. Maybe I just shouldn't use a primer when using my Studio Fix. My face looks great when I do primer with my NARS foundation. I've never heard of Youngblood's mineral primer...where do I find that? Thanks!
