Question for those who use bare minerals

I got a sample from Sephora, and I want to love it...but it makes my skin almost dryer than before. It settles into my lines, and I really only have lines when my skin is dry. Am I just using too much? I'm using the primer lotion, the foundation, and the mineral veil.

Any tips? Thanks!

Make sure you don't rub in your primer - just smooth it over your skin. It's supposed to fill in all those lines.

Someone suggested to me to use s damp brush to apply the veil and foundation. This tip has made me love bare minerals all over again.

I use a good moisturizer before and let it set. I find I have a "timing" to do it. I have to wait for a certain but not too long otherwise my skin looks dry. And I have very dry skin to start with. So it was trial and error on my timing of my moisturizer.

I don't put too much on my brush otherwise it set in my lines.

I also don't use the mineral veil. Makes me itch and looks too "thick" on me and will settle in my lines after a few hours.
