That's some crazy questions you got there lol. I never really noticed a difference when i wait or not before applying primer after moisturizer. I use light moisturizers because heavy ones make me a greasy. If ur face is still uber wet, the primer might get diluted and runny. So as long as ur face is "dry", its fine to apply primer quickly after moisturizer.
no offence, but the repelling water on the face is seriously goofy lol.
yes, moisturizing the face before primers can make a difference. primers in nature are dry. if u don't moiturize your face before hand, you may have larger, more visibly dry flakes of skin. yuck.
sunscreen is kinda useless in my opinion. unless you plan on reapplying it after every few hours, you are doing worse for your skin. a moisturizer with spf in it should be good enough. if you are going to be in direct sunlight for a whole day, you should be using sunscreen designed for the face and you would have to reapply. i see no point in a primer here because u wouldnt be able to wear foundation very easily.. i cant imagine reapplying sunscreen and having to smear on more foundation.
anyways, i used to use sunscreen on my face a lot.. and my skin became very muddy and got darker and changed texture after that summer because i didnt reapply i guess. i stopped using sunscreen and stick with spf moisturizer and now my skin is back to normal...
hope that helps in some way

Generally, it goes like this:
Cleanser --> Toner --> Moiturizer --> Eye Cream --> Primer --> Concealer --> Foundation --> Finishing Powder

However, I was wondering if the primer will still go on as great as it should even after you moisturize or will it cancel out the primer effect after moisturizing? Is it okay to put sunscreen before or after the primer? I really want to keep my skin healthy from the sun so I was wondering if I had to give up sunscreen on my face for the primer. I'm sorta a novice for makeup stuff...so, does a primer ONLY provide smooth application, or does it also help your makeup to stay for the day? If it does help the foundation/powder stay, how long does it make the makeup last? Thank you =) hope i get a response even though I'm a bit late for this thread |
