if you use mineral/powder foundation
do you apply moisturizer first?
i don't usually b/c i have an oily t-zone, but maybe i would get better coverage if i did 
great now i need to go find a good moisturizer.

I do, it definitely helps it stay on better.

Re: if you use mineral/powder foundation
I don't. I have an oily t-zone as well and find that if I moisturize before putting my make-up on, it makes it 10x worse.
I *do* moisturize before I go to bed at night.

Everyday for the last 15 years of my life I have used Neutrogena healthy skin face lotion first thing after my shower. I have combination skin but I need it. Its oil free.

Re: if you use mineral/powder foundation
i think u'd really like this..i just started using it about 2weeks ago & it's great! decent price too...they only sell it as sephora..on the plus side, it's also 100% natural  u also only need to use a VERY minimal amount...less than a pea size! so it lasts forever...

yes - and they even tell you at the store that you must moisturize first.

u're welcome! & hey - i've heard great things about p.f. too! but DEF check out the moisturizer!
as for getting more coverage, conceal first with a synthetic brush...something like this...
it will give you MAX coverage..it's literally like painting ur face lol..i use it just in the areas that need extra first..under the eyes/blemishes/etc..(and don't worry if it's not blended - just conceal!).. THEN i buff all over w/my kabuki/big powder brush..that way u're only putting heavy coverage where u need it, and the buffing will blend the two together hth!
