| In my experience, if you have any dry skin on your face and you try to smooth a primer over it without moisturizing, the primer snags on the dry areas and makeup won't apply evenly. |

| I use Laura Mercier primer and it sets your make up great but I do use a moisturizer under the primer maybe the young skins don't need to but there is no problem with break outs its lovely |

| Why wouldn't one use a moisturizer in the summer? Is it that in the winter, the heating causes skin to dry? Apologies if this is a silly question. 00-CAT |

| I'm one who did experience breakouts with Laura Mercier's primer but I'd definitely recommend trying it, because it was a great product otherwise. Kept the makeup looking very fresh all day and cut down on the shine factor pretty well. |

| Laura Mercier has came out with a oil free based primer so maybe that would help with the breakout? |

Ijust purchased the Ultimae Spa- Exfoliating Mud Mask with Dead Sea minerals. Has anyone tried this product and found positive results. Your feedback is always appreciated.

 primers are great, but you still need to wear mosturizer! because even if your skin is oily in the summer, it might still be dehydrated. and a good mosturizer ( I use dove essentials  ) has tons of antioxidents and vitamins and herbs that is good for your skin, which a primer cannot replace! i use primers only for important occasions when skin MUST look perfect hehe but always put on mosturizer in morning and night! |

| Just a tip related to Peter Thomas Roth's mattifying gel. I find it actually works better OVER makeup, at least if you use mineral makeup. The gel doesn't really absorb into your skin, so if I try to apply my MMU over the top of the gel, my kubuki brush will " buff " it away and I don't see the effects. Instead, I'll pat a little bit onto my nose and tzone after I apply my mineral makeup to minimize the pores. I actually got a sample from Sephora and it's lasted so long since I only dab it on small spots that need it, but I've definitely been thinking I can't live without it once my sample is gone. |
