Beauty tip- the heat and foundation

Quick tip I've learned since I live in Arizona.

On those hot, I mean really hot days, especially during monsoon when the humidity makes you drip in sweat.
I need my coverage due to acne scars and uneven skin tone that I've working on. I like to make sure my face looks flawless. That is hard during this time. I just don't get coverage from bb creams or cc creams alone, my spot are shown right through these creams, too sheer!
The only thing that has worked for me is putting some kind of sunscreen before my foundation. My theory is sunscreen is made to stay on your face and protect your skin from the sun rays. Where primer is either moisturizing formula or a silicone formula, both melt off taking your foundation with you. 
Recently, I have been trading my beloved primer in for sunscreen, it just keeps my skin breathing and holds my face together without making it shiny either. I don't set my face at this time either because it will separate and appear cakey.
