Primers???

Hey guys…I’m showing my ignorance, but I’m not really sure what ‘primers’ are, can someone help? I’ve seen a few ladies mention this, and checked out a couple of product speels, but I’m still a bit confused. Do they go on under my foundation, or instead of?

And can anyone recommend a good one to try, as a first choice??

    Thanks music, I do have combination skin, so I`ll definately keep that in mind.

    scentsation, I think it depends on your skin type. If your skin is oily, moisturiser alone is enough, you don`t need primer – the moisturiser could act as your primer instead.

    When I was younger I didn`t need primer, but as I`ve got older I need it. I was like you, thinking it was an unnecessary product.

    Looks like I am going to buy myself some primer! Never thought about buying it before. Thought it was just another revenue raising product, rather than a useful one.

    I haven`t tried that, thanks for the tip Beautybee, I`ll try it tomorrow.

    Hi glossqueen, can I suggest that after applying your mineral foundation that you use a makeup sponge and blend the powder, especially over you problem areas. I find this eliminates the Large pore look.

    I wear primer under all my foundation too. I definitely have to wear it under mineral powder foundations, or they settle into my pores and make them look huge.

    I always use it under any foundation…stops it from `sinking in` and helps it to last the distance.

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me if you use a primer underneath mineral powder foundations?
