Primers for oily skin
If you find that you’re shiny during the day or have enlarged pores, you definitely want to check out a product that will control oil and minimize pores. Press the product into your T zone with your fingers, and then rub what’s leftover on the rest of your face.

Primers for dry skin
If you find that your skin is flaky and dry, you want something with lots of moisture. A moisturizing primer can help you avoid those patchy spots you get when you apply foundation. Be sure to press a little extra on the areas where skin is uneven.

Primer for dull skin
If you have dull skin, try a primer that will give your face the glowing boost it needs. For a little extra dewiness, mix a highlighting liquid into your primer or foundation for long lasting, beautiful, glowing skin.
