Hey lady's I been looking up a lot of different kinds of makeup tutorials and they always put primer on before anything! Is this a foundation or clear gel? Help ❤️

Foundation primer creates a smooth canvas for your makeup, like eyeshadow primer does for eyeshadow. And depending on what kind you get, they have different properties. Some reduce the appearance of redness, some give a matte finish and loads of other things :)

Primers preps the face for foundation by smoothing the skin, making your foundation last longer, and some can reduce redness or the appearance of pores. they also have some with different finishes (matte, dewy, natural, etc.)
