Lip and face primer 💕

I'm going through this whole makeup obsession stage in my life right now so have a couple of questions.
Primer.
Should I use lip primer? I use lipstick and even lip gloss and they both just do not stay on 😩

Face primer.
What's the best face primer for oily skin? Should I be using primer for my face anyway since its oily?? Would I use setting powder instead? If yes which one is recommendable?

Help 😭

I've never tried a lip primer, but I don't see why not? Primers are made to help your makeup last longer 😊 As for face primer, I can't help you much because I have normal-dry skin, but I like the Loreal Magic blur or something like that. Again, primers are made to help your makeup last all day so you can still use one (: I use primer & setting powder. My setting powder is suitable for any skin type. It's very natural and just blots oil. It's the Maybelline Fit Me and it's only like $6 and lasts a really really long time!

Nooo girl if your oily you should use primer even more. The MUFE step 1 or 2 primer (can't remember sorry) is mattifying and really helps my makeup glide on. The other step is luminous and glowy, which is better for dry skin. As for lip primer, I use the UD lip pencil in ozone, and I find that makes my lip color more vibrant and long lasting and prevents feathering. Hope this helps!

Lip balms can often be used to substitute as a lip primer if need be 😊

For my face I use primera and of course setting powder after my makeup is donde. I have oily skin as well so far the best ones are Lorac Porefection, smashbox photo finish, cover | fx mattifying primer and of course the benefit porefessional (however I find this to be like super few) it lasted about 1 month and I was like what!? This is so tiny! Hoped I help I had so much trouble finding a good one! If you need any help or questions about them, hit me up on my profile.

Oh you might love the make up forever matte primer but it dries to fast, and it might be a lil harsh if you have sensitive skin! Btw the lip primer...I don't think you need one! Just find a great long lasting lipstick..like mac ones (the matte ones last ages) thats why I only buy those. Also the Nars ones! And the Stile long lasting are like bae!

I recently got the Rimmel stay matte primer from the drugstore and it works great and I have pretty oily skin!

^^ I use that primer too... I LOVE IT (I also sometimes use Fifth Avenue Face Primer)

as for lips, I use a light layer of foundation, than lip liner to shape and lipstick on top I make sure to pack in my bag/ purse the lipliner & lipstick I use (just in case I need a touch up)
