If you are young lucky enough to have escaped acne and have youthful flawless skin you probably don t need a primer or a foundation for that matter.
Water based foundation silicone primer.
Silicone based foundation and primers have a very different feel compared to oil and water based products.
See i never do well with silicone based primers even if i use a silicone based foundation over it.
However even if it s labeled oil free it may still contain silicone.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about the difference between silicone based foundations oil free foundations and water based foundations.
They absorb into my skin rather than sit on the surface like the silicone ones.
Hopefully this section of the post can help some people clear up their knowledge of the difference between the two.
No foundation alone will give you as flawless an appearance as foundation applied over a primer.
I have the most success with either water based since i m assuming the skindinavia is water based or glycerin based like the nivea post shave balm.
Sometimes rich silicone based primers have a tendency to make your skin look oilier than it is.
The difference between silicone and water based primers.
Water based foundations vs silicone based foundations vs oil free foundations.
Some people love the slick glossy smoothness and how they glide over the skin whereas others hate that and think that it s making their skin feel greasy.
Otherwise the primer is most likely water based.
Also one thing that is not made clear is that silicone itself is oily so always look at the ingredients.
Water based primers are oil free and offer a mattifying effect to extend the wear of your makeup.
