Do you see any point to a powder (mineral) "primer"?
I always thought makeup primers were supposed to be gel or cream-based, but recently bought some mineral makeup where they were selling a powder primer to apply before the makeup. Does that make any sense to you? I can see how a powder primer would absorb a little more oil underneath the minerals, but let's be real -- a primer is supposed to:
a) prep the skin for makeup
b) keep makeup from sinking into pores throughout the day / keep it from fading
How in the world is a "primer" in powder form supposed to do those things? The idea of a powder primer is nice in theory, as it would be less likely to clog pores (I have acne-prone skin), but doesn't seem realistic/effective. Anyway, I'm not looking for product recommendations (though if you have a rave-worthy product, feel free to share!), I'm mostly just curious what people think of this.
What do you think?
