Primer or Moisturizer?

I usually use moisturizer before applying makeup on myself. Will there be any difference if I were to switch to primer?

My skin gets dry pretty easily and I work in an air-conditioned place.

Try using a bb cream!! Does both! I like Maybeline's bb cream a lot.

A primer isn't a moisturizer and vs versa. It is necessary to have a moisturizer and then you can add a primer to make your makeup last longer

i think mositurizer works great & i've found that primers can dry your face and won't let your skin breath. but u can do whatever u feel is right for ur skin type. :)

even if you use bbcream, you should moisturize first. moisturizing is a must. even oily skin needs moisturizer. do not skip it. ever. primer is just another step.

Use both. A primer smoothes your skin, minimizes pores and fine lines and holds your makeup on longer. It's like Velcro for your makeup. It creates a flawless finish and gives you all day wear. Never give up a moisturizer. You can get a hydrating primer, but that's for added moisturizer. Remember cleanse, apply treatments, moisturizer, primer, foundation
