Depends on your skin type if your oil skin it helps but I don't think it's necessary... But I do believe it makes your foundation looks better it's like it creates a perfect surface for your makeup to lay on

You will see a difference with a good primer

I don't think so. I use a little lotion on my skin after I wash because it feels stiff. I've tried some primers and it makes me makeup look terrible.

I believe it fills your pores and helps your foundation looking smooth

Have never tried primer but if you don't want to buy one you could try cover girl 3 in 1 foundation, it says it has the primer already in it, along with the coverage of concealer and foundation.

Primer depends on the foundation used- mineral primer has to be used with mineral foundation, silicone with silicone foundations etc. other it won't work, mixing textures is like oil and water and the product will slide right off.

Primers are definitely necessary, if you want a more flawless appearance and long wear.

I don't think they're too necessary under powder foundations or maybe even BB creams- I usually throw those on for lazy days that don't require long wearing makeup.

But on days I need a full face of makeup, my primer has held my makeup in place close to 16 hours and maintained full coverage.

It is up to you, if you don't need your makeup to stay on too long, then it isn't to important. But I definitely recommend buying one just so for special events you have one to help prolong your look.
