My skin is eating my powder foundation
I recently purchased purminerals powder foundation. By the middle of the day it seems like my skin has eaten it. I notice more redness and the coverage just isn't quite enough for me. Maybe if I caked more on in the morning. Anyone with oily skin have a medium to full coverage powder foundation with lasting power?
Re: My skin is eating my powder foundation
Have you tried using a primer at all? That helps my powder foundation stay really well (I also have oily skin).
So far, I have tried Bare Minerals and Purminerals, but my favorite is Korres's Wild Rose mineral foundation. It pretty much changed my life after I thought BM was the best thing since sliced bread, lol.

Also, I find that setting my whole face with either Bare Minerals mineral veil or Tarte's smooth operator finishing powder really helps.

I like Too Faced Primed and Poreless for primer. It seems to work better than all of the others I've tried (and I've tried a bunch).
I will add that before I switched to mineral foundation, I too was also using Lancome's dual finish powder (applied dry, with a sponge). In order to get the coverage I wanted, I would have to wear it over Bobbi Brown's foundation stick, which was fine, but I prefer the mineral foundations now. I didn't like using the lancome wet for some reason.
