Primer: yes or no?




I bought this primer on a whim really (crazy, i know). I'd never used primer before and if I'm honest didn't really know what it did or was good for. I'm still not 100%. On the Maybelline website it says that this primer is to help with smooth application of foundation and make your makeup last longer. 

It definitely helps make applying foundation easier. I use a mousse because I find liquid doesn't go on well on my skin. I can definitely notice the difference, it really does make it easier to put my foundation on. I don't really know about the helping make up last longer. I'll probably take more notice of this when I go back to school. 

This cost something like £9.99 from Superdrug. The tub is 7ml. I'm aware that most primers are expensive and you don't need too much of this each time you use it, but a tenner for 7ml? I'm a cheapskate and also have no money so this seems a little steep to me for something that while does make applying foundation easier doesn't seem essential. I do like this product though. 

So, beauty people, primer users: what are your views on primer? Which is best? Worth the money? Do they do what they say?

  1. I use the bodyshop primer and love it. It makes my skin feel loads smoother and makes putting foundation on a lot easier :)
