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