I too only used moisturisers initially, but having used a primer I found applying foundation so much easier. Having more mature skin that isn’t so oily I can’t help but can I suggest you go to a Mecca store and ask for advice there. They also offer little pots of sample products to try which is a great help. I did that when I was looking for something suitable. But, use the sample pot fairly quickly as the product may change consistency as it is exposed to the air, being in a pot. Good luck with your search.
