Does the green tinted primer cover the redness or do you need to wear concealer for that?

If you want to try it, you don't need to get the large bottle as it's available in a smaller squeezy tube. |

Re: Help with Face Primer
Id rec Macs Prep and Prime Face, I've used it since it came out
I have an oily T zone as well and it seems to control it, I also use liquid foundation.
But you only need a maximum of 1 - 2 pumps, if you put on too much it saturates your face and will make it oily later in the day.

Face Primer For Dry Skin.
So I get dry skin around my nose and lips and most of the primers out there do no favours, can anyone reccomend a good one for dry skin?
And yes I use moisturizer everyday and night and I exfoliate once or twice a week.

Re: Face Primer For Dry Skin.
I can rec a primer! Though first, I think I should mention you probably shouldn't depend on a primer for moisture. Perhaps try a different moisturizer that's heavier (Hope in a Jar by Philosophy, perhaps?), and I know there are eye creams that are also for the area around the lips (Philosophy makes a good one!).
That said, I personally use Smashbox Photo Finish Primer in Light but I think the regular one will work well for you.

Re: Face Primer For Dry Skin.
I agree with Cetati. I wouldn't recommend a primer for moisture, but they can help. Hope in a Jar is a great moisturizer. It's the one I use in the winter, to help keep my skin from getting dry.
Philosophy makes a great primer called The Present, which is my favorite primer. A couple of the other primers I've tried seemed to dry out my skin more, but this one does a great job. I wear it without moisturizer in the summer because I feel it does a good job keeping my skin where it needs to be. Sephora gave me a big sample before I bought it. If you're close to a counter, they should do that for you, too.

I have dry skin and to moisturize lately i've been using moisturelush cream, then Makeup Forever HD primer. It feels so light and moisturizing. Another alternative is BareMinerals Face Primer. Mac's and Smashbox photo primer leaves me with dry patches here and there. hth

If you can get to an Origins, try A Perfect World White Tea skin guardian. It has White Tea to help soothe the skin and smoothe it, but it also have an e.o. blend to help retain moisture in the skin, AND it prevents aging of the skin. It's pretty much amazing.
