Primers are mentioned in this months beauty tips, does anyone use them? I am looking for something to make my foundation last longer.

I once tried some primer, but didn't notice any benefit from it.I use BB cream, lipstick and a little eye make up if I remember.No real wrinkles as yet to cover up.Never liked the sticky feel of foundation so don't wear it.However, perfume is another matter, use that every day, no matter what I'm doing and DH loves it, find I get extra hugs so he can sniff with appreciation.

I use a Primer by Pixi, it's a bit pricey, more than I would really like to spend, but Pixi don't test on animals, so that's worth the extra to me.

Sticky feel? Never had that, although I do only wear a very light liquid foundation.

However, as mentioned on another thread I can't bear the feeling of varnish on my nails...
