Is anyone having problems with true match foundation in the heat? I was thinking that I needed a better setting spray and or primer and I got some great suggestions from you guys, but now I'm starting to think its the foundation.

The primer I wear is Almay Luminous color correcting primer, and I really love it. It has AMAZING reviews on makeup alley, and everyone else seems to love it so I don't think it's that.

I noticed a lot of the recent reviews on true match are really negative. And people were describing the same stuff that's happening to me. Settling into pores, smudging off with the least little touch, sliding all over... just looking gross.

Honestly I don't think it works for my skin anymore. Especially in the heat. It won't stay on for even a couple hours. And I do not have oily skin.

I'm considering trying something new. Something nicer. Has anyone else had this problem?
What foundations do you all recommend for a flawless finish? That lasts well in heat?

Thank you. Sorry I know I always write such long descriptions. It's hard for me not to.

OH! Also, I was wondering. Does Bb cream work better in the heat than foundation?

For drug store: Rimmel Stay Matte is nice coverage
For high end: The Estee Lauder double wear last me all day. And doesn't budge with the heat (I live in Vegas and it's hotter than hot)
