I use the BB cream I have as a foundation, and I put foundation primer on before the BB cream and it seems to be working well for me except my makeup comes off with the slightest touch, rub, etc. even after setting powder and finishing spray. Does this have to do with my BB cream being ontop and used as a foundation?

It could. BB creams aren't a foundation. It's moreso a tinted moisturizer than it is a foundation.

Bb cream already has primer in it..
its better to use the bb cream as a primer n use a light foundation if you need added coverage. but don't use primer under bb cream.

The whole point of a bb cream is a one-step easy process.. I personally don't use a primer under bb creams because I'm either having a ' lazy ' day or just in a rush.. I do however use bb creams has a primer for light and sometimes even full coverage foundations. If using a primer works for you , do it! Just don't forget to moisturize because the moisture from the bb cream won't get to your skin.

Thanks guys. I'm not sure if the particular BB cream I use has primer in it but I will definitely try putting primer on top and see how it works for me :)

Thats actually how bb cream is... It won't stay all day as it is pretty sheer coverage and its more like a tinyed moisturizer than a foundation!
If you lr bb cream rubs of at the slightest touch your not blending in enough so it sink in and not move around!! Use maybe a setting powder with some coverage!!

Yeah I've tried BB cream but personally I don't like it for my skin as it just rubs off and goes all weird aha.
