So I've been using Bare Escentuals for awhile but lately as I've taken better care of my oily/combination skin (especially my nose), I'm less oily than I was before and for some reason my bare minerals flake on me, especially around my nose and the sides of it, and chin area. So I guess I should invest in a better primer (rather than finding a whole new foundation - liquid foundations scare me, having something pasty sit atop your skin like that) that will make everything come together while still providing moisture AND oil control.
Anything like that that you guys know of? I was kind of looking into the new MUFE camera ready bb cream as a tinted moisturizer/primer to use underneath, so far.

Laura Mercier has a great primer that is exclusively for mineral foundations. I too have oily/combo skin and I use it with my Bobbi Brown Mineral Foundation Powder. I also use Smashbox BB Cream and use the BB Mineral FP to set it. So far so good. No breakouts and I noticed with the BB cream I have been using less blotting papers.
