It helps to keep your makeup on throughout the day :) Think of it like this: An artist must properly prepare the canvas for the paint. A primer does just that…gives the makeup something to adhere to :)

Answer #2

A face primer helps your makeup (foundation, bronzer, blush, etc) stay on longer. Some primers help with oiliness and to even out your skin tone. An eyeshadow primer makes your eyeshadow more vibrant and helps it stay on longer.

Answer #3

I heard it’s used to put on your eyelid to help eyeshadow stick on.

foundation primers are amazing! In addition to everything thats already been said, you end up using less foundation and you can get ones that hide the appearance of redness! Smashbox does really good ones
