Coconut oil as a primer?

I've been trying it out the last few days, my skin looks amazing and glowy especially paired with my Nars luminous

But I'm not sure I've seen any difference in the wear of my foundation or if it's even making it last less

Have you guys tried it?

Coconut oil is known to clog pores and some people especially with sensitive skin have experienced breakouts when using it on their face. is the foundation and primer you're using oil based? I honestly can't imagine coconut oil doing a good job at holding on makeup because it's so greasy lol.

Yeah I've been worried about breakouts but so far my skin has looked really good. I haven't been using this everyday for that reason tho

I don't thing it's doing anything for my foundation other than making it go on smoother and giving me a glow tho

I'm sure it works as a standard face primer.
Standard silicone based primers usually just give slip so that foundation goes on more smoothly, so it doesn't get patchy, etc.

As for making it last, I wouldn't expect much out of that, it's an oil and... Oils don't really dry so I guess it'll be good at just making your face look more glowy.
I've used coconut oil mixed with foundation to and liked how it made my face looked glowy but not really greasy which was nice and it felt lighter.
