Answer 2

Primer is a product used before foundation and other makeup to "prep" the skin. Though different primers have different properties, they're usually associated with 1- making makeup last longer because they give something for it to adhere to, and 2- filling in lines and pores to foundation and other makeup will go on smoother. There are primers sold for all over the face, and also for eyes and lips.

Some primers contain ingredients to go even further than prepping skin. Some contain light reflecting particles to give a glowy look. Some help reduce oil and shine. Smashbox even has color correcting primers to even out red or yellow skin tones. My favorite face primers are Bare Escentuals' Prime Time and Benefit's That Gal. My favorite eye primer is Urban Decay Primer potion.  

Answer 3

Foundation primer makes it easier for the foundation to go on, it smoothes out your face and keeps your foundation from wearing off or fading. It also helps control oil.

Eyeshadow primer helps eyeshadow stick to your lid, prevents creasing and fading, and helps the colors show up.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

It gives your face a all over smooth look.

Answer 5

Hi,

Primer keeps your foundation on longer, covers over slight bumps so they don't stand out, can also help makeup cover pimples. It can also stop the skin's surface oil from ruining your foundation later on in the day.

hope that helps.
