Answer 2

It keeps your skin moisturized without making it look too oily or greasy. It will also give your skin a more even texture, especially if you have large pores so your foundation and concealer will go on more smoothly and stay longer without flaking, smudging, or getting too greasy. Some of them will have many vitamins for your skin to aid in anti-aging. Bare Minerals has a good primer that I really like.

Answer 3

actually primer really is not necessary, if anything most primers cause acne. all primer is, is an extra coat your adding to you face, in extra coat that your skin cant breathe through.

people say by weraring primer your makeup goes on better, but it hardly ever does and if it may be true would you risk having your skin breakout?
