Primer is open for debate. \nSome people swear you need it, no matter what.  But really, what\u2019s it good\nfor?  Your face?  Your eyes?  Is it really necessary to use a\nprimer for everyone, every day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the low down on Primer.  At least as I see it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primer is a silicone based liquid to\nbe used before your foundation and after your lotion.  You don\u2019t need to\nuse it every day.  It\u2019s not absolutely necessary to use for every person\nor for every occasion, as it\u2019s an extra layer that can take you extra time, not\nto mention extra buildup on your skin.  Everyday makeup doesn\u2019t have to be\nas full coverage, or as dramatic as makeup for a night out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it\u2019s really good for is dry\nskin, skin with blemishes or skin with wrinkles and fine lines.  Its\npurpose is to create a smooth surface on top of your skin, thanks to its\nprimary ingredient, silicone.  It\u2019s supposed to help create a smooth\ncanvas on which to create your master piece. The silicone in it fills in fine\nlines and pores, smoothing out the blemishes, and decreasing the appearance of\ndry skin.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primer isn\u2019t essential for long wear\nmakeup, so only use if necessary on brides, long photo shoots, or on those days\nwhen you need your makeup to last.  It adds an extra layer to that\nflawless finished look that might cause slippage when combined with body heat\nand sweat.  So use with discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to use primer apply\nover your daily moisturizer.  Apply with a makeup sponge, or if you\u2019re\nlike me, with your fingertips.  You can apply it to your face, in your\nT-Zone area, where most people experience pores and fine lines.  After it is applied simply apply your\nfoundation, your powder and you will have a smooth palette on which to create\nthe look you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well ladies, hope this answers the\nquestion of whether or not you should use primer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primer\u2019s I would recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo Finish\nFoundation Primer<\/a> by Smashbox<\/p>\n\n\n\n
