no difference but some has got colour-correcting properties.

In terms of making makeup stay or last longer and with good oil control properties, which primer/base will be highly recommended? TIA

girlgirl17: Biotherm MATTE PUR is good to use it alone which any makeup base cos it has good coverage n mattify the T-zone area.. when i combine it with Guerlain primer, it becomes too thick n cakey... I have tried with other foundations with Guerlain primer so far no cakeyness found... so for Guerlain primer !!

Eye shadow base. I think there's a thread on this.

kny4eva Should use an eyeshadow primer on your eyelids. Concealer will work too, but eyeshadow primers work better as it increases the vibrancy of your eyeshadows and also prevents it from creasing.

Good ones to try are Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance, Urban Decay primer potion. Please do a search to find out how to get them.

Its $58 at DFS and $60 at regular YSL counters.

I'm using the beige one and it. Haha. At first I didnt know how to properly apply it but after experimenting with my foundation application method it worked! Now I can stay blot-free for 4 hours with this primer. (I have oily skin )

There's also the blue and pink bases for brightening and radiance effect respectively.

Do we have to apply all MU bases in an upward motion (getting into our pores)?

[mscrystalbelle]

Thanks alice1881

sugarette star: Do that only for pore fillers. Just apply other makeup bases in an outward sweeping motion.
