Do you use a primer?

no, because i don't put heavy make up.

Yes, absolutely. For a face primer I use Make-Up Forever's HD primer (in a green tint, to help even out reddish undertones of my skin. I also use a lid primer anytime I wear eyeshadow. My favorites are Too Faced's Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin. Both with brighten up any eyeshadow application, and UD's makes it bit more iridescent. I almost never use a foundation - I've found that highlighter's like Benefit's High Beam work better by bringing out your good features instead of covering flaws like foundations do.

have you ever heard of Milk of Magnesia (a laxative) as a primer? they say it's good for oily skin as well. i haven't, 'cuz it's not available in the philippines =D but am trying to buy abroad.. let me know if you used a primer and how it works for you!

Yes I do use a makeup primer and a lid primer. I notice that when wearing primer for the face it really holds your foundation together than when you don't. Using lid primer on the other hand holds your eyeshadow and brings out the color of the shadow.The brands I used are Revlon, Rimmel and Monistat (these is chaffing gel but has been proven to work well as a makeup primer.) For more information please check my profile and go to my website I have written about this topic on my blog.

I see a lot of makeup artists using makeup primer on both the eyes and the face. It seems to bring out fabulous color in the eyes, and the foundation seems to cover better, as if to smooth the working surface. Thanks for posting!

primer cover some impurities in your skin... it makes your skin glow after putting on your make-up.. Have you heard about BB cream.. you can also you is as primer.. maybelline has a new product , their own BB cream.

I dont wear as much make up as I used to. At the moment I dont wear one and I wouldnt know where to start. I did however get a makeover by an American brand in a department store and they used a primer which went quite nice.
