how do you apply your mineral make up?

I have oily skin, and I don't know if I'm applying it right. i just buff my mineral pressed powder directly onto my face using The Body Shop's kabuki brush.

Is that right?

My face gets really oily really fast.

I don't put on liquid foundation before buffing my mineral powder, as it defeats the purpose as i want my mineral powder in contact with my skin to clear the breakouts

How do you apply yours? Do you put on toner, moisturiser, primer etc before buffing the powder?

Much help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Update:

I just bought an LA colors mineral pressed powder in fair

    For me, I wash my face, apply toner, and mousterize, but your skin is probably different from mine.i have dry skin. For you, do not apply toner. The purpose of toner is to allow mousterizer to work better. But for you to can make your skin more oily. You are applying it correctly for your skin type, but of you want you can use blotting sheets to absorb extra oil without ruining your makeup. Lastly, most ameup doesn't last throughout the entire day, and most mineral makeup doesn't bring it with you in your purse to reapply every 2,3,4 hours. Hope tis helps!

    Well with mineral hygienics, a primer and finishing power comes in the starter kit. I put the primer first because it adsorbs all the oil. Then I apply my mineral foundation and finish it off the matte finish which leaves a powder airbrush finish. So I would recommend buying a matte finish which you can use as a primer as well if you have severely oily skin.

    I mix my mineral makeup with my oil of olay moisturizer and use it as a liquid. I use a sponge to put it on because I'm not fond of brushes.
