Do you need to use both moisturizer and a primer before applying makeup?

Yes. They actually perform two different functions. First use a good quality moisturizer designed specifically for your needs. Line prevention, firming, oil control etc. Let that sit on your skin an absorb for a few minutes. The best way to check this is to take a tissue and press it onto your cheek. If it falls to the floor your good to go if it sticks give your skin a few minutes. After your dry apply your primer. Again let that absorb. Primers are lighter weight and will only take a second before you can move on to your foundation. Most primers you can mix with your foundation if you use a liquid. I also just found Clarins Instant Smooth Foundation. It is a combination of my favorite primer and a whipped mousse foundation. It goes on smooth and dries to a matte finish. It's incredible. Two steps in one with great coverage. Here is a link check it out. You will be glad you did.

I would say yes, because moisturizers are important for your skin, because of the weather. and you want to protect your skin. primers are used so that eyeshadows won't crease and fade. I would get a good moisturizer with an spf. and also a good primer. i haven't tried any drugstore brands but i here they are good. if you don't want to spend alot of money you can try a drugstore brand like rimmel fix and perfect primer. or a foundation primer. I want to try Almay's eye primer/concealer because I have a coupon for it. Do you need to use both moisturizer and a primer before applying makeup?
Hiya,





i thought pimer was something you use on walls before you paint them...?





Anyways, it is importanat to use moisturiser before applying make up, its stops foundation from drying up your skin to much and moisturiser is great even if you don't use make up. Some also contain SPF (sun protection) to keep your skin safe from the sun. Keep applying moisturiser whilest i work out what primer is!

I asked this same question last week when I went into Mac. Yes, moisturizer first let it sink in for a min, then primer let it dry and then makeup. That's what I do works out pretty good. =D
You dont have to use a primer but using a moisturizer is a must.
