It's not necessary but it's definitely helpful! And to those of us who aren't blessed with great skin, or at least skin to which foundation adheres to well, primer is a necessity.
On that note, I don't bother with foundation unless I have m Prep & Prime spf. Picked it up 2 months ago and it's actually made foundation look decent on me and prevent the greasies from overtaking my face. Best used with msf naturals if I'm going to be outside a lot.

Ooo! Thanks for showing me that. I just order a make up kit by Smashbox and it comes with their regular Photofinish Primer. I'm going to try that first and if it doesn't work for me I'll definitely look into that one!

Also, if you have oily skin (depending on what type of primer you use) it will help with controlling the oil.

I don't wear foundation but I use YSL Matt Touch primer, it controls oil really well, I can put it on first thing in the morning and by the end of the day there still isn't any oil on my face. I just use it on my forehead and down the centre of my nose and it stops my skin going greasy.

Re: foundation primer ..
Hi!
I have oily skin, too. I use MAC Prep+Prime with good results. You might want to find out if you can get a sample of it before purchasing to make sure it won't break you out as well.
Hope that helps!

Best Foundation Primer (oily skin)???
So, I have combo skin...Oily t-zone & dry everywhere else.
I'm currently using MAC Studio Tech NC 30. I also use loose blotting powder & bronzer in the a.m.
By mid day (like right now, lunchtime), I go to the bathroom and my makeup looks great except for the huge, shiny forhead. Help!
I need a good primer! I've tried The Present, Photo Finish, & maybe the Lorac kind?? (can't remember that one).
What is the best primer out there for oily skin? How do you use it (maybe I used one of the above incorrectly)?
HALP!

Have you tried the smashbox photofinish for oily/sensitive skin? It's in a white bottle. that stuff rocks my socks. I have combo skin...really oily forehead...it works great for me and i love it in shoots. It mattes the skin down but still helps hide the pores....not even close to the same powdery texture of the original.....
