So I got the aveeno bb cream for clear complexion, ita supposed to help with breakouts. and I was curious if would work under foundation as a primer so I can try to fight these breakouts I've been having but I'm unsure of it would work well?

Lots of people use bb creams as a primer so yes it can work. For me personally I don't like using bb creams because my skin is very oily and bb creams make your skin 10x more oily and shiny. If you have normal or dry skin then you should be fine.

I personally wouldn't, just because BB creams are more like tinted moisturizers than primers. but like Shauna said, people do it so it does work. it just feels really heavy on the skin in my opinion.

I've done it and liked the outcome. I like full coverage but its a bit much for me. feels heavy on my skin. Its worth trying though!

BB cream and then you can set it with a pressed powder. If you need more coverage then you can used a liquid foundation after you use BB cream then do the pressed powder.
