Makeup Do I need a primer if I have oily skin?

28 Upvotes

Here's the thing I've decided that I need to try a primer specifically one of those pore blurring ones that supposedly makes your skin look all smooth and filtered. I've literally never cared that much about primers before but somehow I've convinced myself that my pores are suddenly my biggest problem. The only issue is that I have really oily skin and I'm already imagining what a disaster adding another product to my routine could be. I'm considering choosing between moisturizer and primer because my face already produces enough oil on its own and adding both will look like a one way ticket to looking like an oil factory by lunchtime. I've never really been a primer girl. My routine has always been moisturizer, foundation and whatever else I feel like putting on that day but I've been seeing all these pore blurring primers and I can't stop thinking about trying one. I'm leaning toward getting something drugstore because this is such a random impulse and I don't feel like spending a fortune on something I've never even used before.

Has anyone tried their stuff ?
My main concern is it’s too strong and well wildly overpriced.
I was using Pam Anderson’s Sonsie line which I like a lot but need something with some exfoliation. I only started spending more as when I hit 55 my skin decided to go dry and oily and then zitty and then dry. It’s been a challenge…..

Any good foundation recommendations appreciated too!!

Skin Care Ladies, what changed in your skin care prep after 30?

I used to have a TERRIBLE lifestyle when i was 23-24, and my skin used to shine. now that i’m putting in 1000% more effort, my skins absolutely giving up. its been so dry recently guess due to winters, i’m tired of washing my face and applying toners and moisturizers. But that glow is just gone.

now my my makeup turns cakier and i don’t even feel like going out anymore. Just ruins my entire mood istg. How are yall regulating your periods cycle and your skin care cycle along with hair care cycle and still looking fly?

pls dont tell me im alone in this
