I went to Sephora today and chatted with an employee there about a few products I could use for an easy daily routine, 5 mins an done type thing. They took pics of my skin and she showed me a tinted moisturizer by Clinique that I liked. Then she told me I needed to put primer under and sold me the Sephora primer.
A friend is tellin me that primer is meant to prep the skin so nothing can seep into your pores and that it's pointless to use a tinted moisturizer and face primer at the same time.
So what do I do? I apply an Olay moisturizer at night, then do I prime and re-moisturize with the tinted one in the am? Stop using it at night? My skin is def oily, not dry. But I'm in my mid thirties so I wanted to start using an anti aging thing.
Help!!

I'm very fair and don't wear foundation very often. I'm a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen girl everyday. I use primer daily only on my eyelids. It seems to help set my shadow and prevents it from creasing. I do use primer if I'm doing a full makeup for a special occasion like a wedding where i'd be in a few photos.

Can you use the face primer on your lids too? Or no. My makeup just always seems to melt off by 3pm

I recently started wearing a primer under my bare minerals foundation. My makeup now looks great all day. Before by mid day it looked like it had disappeared. I agree, I don't think you need a tinted moisturizer. I use a primer by Rimmel -- I think it was only $7.

I wear primer under my tinted moisturizer or foundation either one.

This is the BEST primer, I kid you not! I love primers and have spent many $$$$ on them until I heard about Monistat. It hides pores, makes any kind of foundation glide on smooth and IT'S CHEAP!!!!! Love this stuff! Attachment Deleted |

I agree about the monistat. One of my friends has very sensitive skin and can't typically wear makeup. She needed it for the 5 nights of our Easter play. I hooked her up with the monistat and she had no problems.

I've tried a lot of them. Mally's on qvc is the best. The Smashbox one is very popular but Mally's is better. I don't put on makeup without primer...makes it go on much smoother.

But does the primer negate the benefits of using a tinted moisturizer?

I guess it depends on why you want the tinted moisturizer. If it's to moisturize, and the tint is a bonus, then I don't think I'd use the primer. My understanding of what a primer does is the same as your friend's-- it gives a smooth surface over which to put your makeup. If you bought the tinted moisturizer to use as a foundation, though, then it will be fine over the primer. I don't usually use foundation OR primer, but when I do, I use this product over moisturizer. It is lightly tinted and works like a primer and has extra SPF on top of my moisturizer. No primer at night, btw, if that is what you were asking. Wash your face and moisturize with the olay. |

Different primers do different things.
You choose a primer based on what you need it to do.
Then you choose a foundation that works with that same goal in mind.
For example, if you have large pores you would choose a primer to fill in your pores such as Benefit's Porefessional or Too Faced Primed and Poreless.
If you have very oily skin you might choose a mattifying primer such as Rimmel's Stay Matte.
If you have dry skin you might choose a moisturizing primer.
If your goal is to make your makeup last you would choose something like Benefit's 15 Hour Primer.
You want your foundation to work towards the same goal as your primer.
So you would NOT buy a mattifying primer and then use it with a tinted moisturizer style foundation.
Face primer is NOT the same as eye primer. They are two separate products. Eyelid primer is a bit sticky and is designed to grab your eyeshadow sort of like a very low tack glue.
For those saying you need your makeup to last longer I would recommend a primer designed for long wear and a setting spray, such as Urban Decay All Nighter or Ben Nye Setting Spray.
