Using Bare Minerals with oily skin-- how do you prevent it from coming off or smudging?
I love BM foundation, but about half way through the day my nose gets all shiny and lighter-colored than the rest of my face.
I use both a moisturizer for oily skin and the BM primer.
I have also tried NOT to put on moisturizer on just my nose, but its the same thing.
I have also dusted on the mineral veil BEFORE applying the foundation.
I don't wear too much foundation either.

Blotting tissues, babycakes. You can buy them just about anywhere (I know Sally's Beauty supply sells ricepaper blotting sheets for dirt cheap) and they'll take care of that mid-day shine super quickly.
My mom is an Avon lady, so she usually buys them in bulk for me when they go on sale. They come in a discreet little black plastic case, so I keep them in my purse at all times (and use the empty cases to hold my credit cards and my drivers license, for those days when I don't want to carry my purse)
Maybe try a different primer? If it's just your nose that is problematic, try Clinique Pore Minimizer with T-zone Shine control. I use that stuff every day (the tube is tiny, but lasts FOREVER) and it's made a HUGE difference. I usually only need 1 or 2 blotting tissues a day now. I used to use 5 or 6.
Hope this helps!
