Does anyone use primer under their foundation?
I really am interested in trying it, but it's $10 for L'Oreal Studio Secrets Face Primer (the one I was looking into) and I'm stingy with my cash! Make-up costs add up so quickly...
I'm just wondering if it is worth it? Pro's? Con's? Does it make that much of a difference?

S-shaped hair with corkscrew ends. My hair is even more confused than me ;p
My hair officially hates protein
Currently a fan of TiGi products, (rock on, TiGi Curlesque styling creme!) but that will soon change - I am a self-avowed product junkie! Yay!
BIG fan of supersoaker method - thanks Rudeechick!
My Bare Minerals one is ok, it does the job but it works better if my skin isn't really dry (like it is now), or I find it doesn't apply very easily.
But I tend to use one, when I do, my skin gets oily a little slower than usual, so I'm reapplying/blotting less often.
I really didn't like the L'Oreal, BTW - it's kinda lumpy and gunky. Save your cash and try another brand ;p lol!

If you're interested in a cheap (it's always on sale!), multi-use primer, I've heard good things about monistat anti-chafing gel. I've never tried it, but I know as soon as I finish the Revlon one I'm going to grab it.

Anti-chafe also helps with preventing blisters when you wear new shoes without any socks

I use MUFE HD (which has amazing variety for pale skin) and it feels pretty thick and paint-like without primer. It gives amazing coverage, though.

Please explain MUFE? lol! Tx

I've been using the Monistat anti-chafing gel for about a year now it's a dupe for the smash box photo finish primer I was using before! I love it!

I use a powder foundation (MAC StudioFix) so some kind of primer really helps keep it on.
IDK if I would bother if I used a liquid foundation.
