Does this work well as a primer under mineral makeup (Bare Minerals)?

I use it under Maybelline's Instant age rewind eraser treatment makeup, keeps my skin moist, I have very dry skin, seems to smooth my skin, I really don't know how it would do as a primer under a mineral based makeup.

It goes well with everything. I wouldn't call it a primer. But anything I have put over it goes on great with no issues at all

I can't speak for all primers, but this is a white product. If you have darker skin it might make your nose look a few shades off if you use too much, but if you use it sparingly as intended I think it would be fine.

As a concealer, however I have to say it is a little dry. I've used La Bella Donna mineral eraser # 4 and it's much better. I do LOVE RMS's other products, like their lip & cheek blend...

No, you don't need the mineral veil. I use it only for very special occasions when I want an absolutely flawless finish. If you use too much of it, it will make you look dry and can settle in fine lines. Use it lightly when and if you use it.

This is a good primer, but I know the weather you're speaking of and there probably isn't a primer that would stand up to the really hot, humid days. It is supposed to help prevent makeup from falling off your face (as any primer would) but they also help with proper blending of makeup. You might want to consider switching the foundation you are using, or use a different formula foundation. Sometimes powder based foundations stand up to heat a little better than others. Good luck.

I don't have experience with Mineral Fusion, but this is one of the best palettes I've ever had. I'm on my second purchase. This acts like a cream and powder as one, making it really easy to blend and cover. You can also blend several colors together to get just the right color to counter undereye circles, Brown spots, melasma, or reddish areas. This is one of the few items that can cover my melasma.For me, Colorescience has always delivered. I have their powder SPF, eye camouflage, and primer as well. I love all their products so far.

Yes, I've used my brushes for mineral makeup and blush application. Works well with all types of liquid foundation and powder's as well.

i've been using Bare Minerals for several years. It seems like the same stuff I've been using. It goes on good and my skin doesn't break out

i am very happy with my purchase. my face looks fresh all day.. i believe this product is well worth the money. as to some people thinking it is not the real deal, all i can say is make sure you are using good brushes and keep your skin healthy.. minerals are good for your skin and when used on a regular bases, you will have less break outs and feel more confidant.I believe this is real Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. i am very pleased with mine..

I wear under mineral makeup with no problems. It absorbs fast and isn't greasy. Makes skin feel hydrated but not greasy or oily.

I use the medium powder over Revlon Age Defying Foundation and it does seem to darken my complexion slightly. I don't know how it would affect my color if used alone.

I would say no, I use their buffing brush for minerals and it works pretty good!

It comes out of the pump almost a very natural fair-to-medium color. I have extremely hard to match skin coloring. I am in between an ivory and a natural beige...I have a lot of pink in my skin tone and I wanted this to see if it would "lighten me up". Well, it did that and then some! It matched my skin tone, moisturizes, provided SPF, and became a base (primer) for some of my other foundations. I use with Bare Minerals, which I love, but I don't always feel I have enough on...especially if I have a few blemishes. I apply the Skin 79 BB cream with a foundation brush, which I highly recommend by the way...it helps to blend and smooth the bb cream, making your skin look flawless! I know this is way more than you asked for, but don't worry so much about the color if you are anywhere from a porcelain ivory to a medium beige. I think you could even use if you were a darker skin tone that just wanted to lighten up and even out your own natural coloring. You would just have to use your regular foundation on top of this. But, if you are close to any of these colors you should be able to use without using anything else. I have used it alone, without anything but a lip stain and mascara and looked fine and gotten lots of compliments on my skin. It is very moisturizing too. It goes on almost too moisturizing and the first time you think, Oh no, my makeup is going to run and smear! But, if you let it set for a minute or two after applying, it becomes velvety and smooth, not greasy at all. It is more of a nude shade once applied...I hope this helps you. I do recommend this product. I ordered it almost a year ago and I still have quite a bit left. It doesn't take much to cover well and again, I cannot stress how much a good foundation brush will help. It will make your skin appear flawless. Have a great day! :) You will not be disappointed with this product!

Yes. I used it over bare sheet rock with several imperfections in a bathroom, and then used 1 layer of primer and 2 coats of paint and it worked very well.

No need for additional foundation. I use the Bare Essentials PRIMER and this product and have a flawless matte finish.

No, quite the contrary, Mineral make up has cleared up my adult acne and is the only makeup I have ever worn in my 67 year life that stayed on all day. I am awful about cleaning my face also as I work both day and night and am to tired or just forget by the end of my day/night! The e.l.f. mineral primer is the.o.ly one I have EVER used also that works.The price is amazing too.I love it and I have used the VERY expensive mineral makeups for 20 years...not any more!

I wear it over Pur Minerals pressed powder foundation and love the effect! It works very well. I like that it softens the look of my makeup and gives it a glow.
