So you say, "Megan, what is the fabulous primer that you use under your Revlon Color Stay Foundation?" Well, I use MAC Prep and Prime Skin. It's of a slightly wet mousse consistency, and I've found that it's fairly moisturizing, too. If I'm going to use Skin, I don't put a moisturizer on beforehand. I don't need it, even though my 30-odd-year old skin is getting drier and drier due to my age. This moisturizes beautifully. It has a bit of luminescence to it, as well, so the matte of the Color Stay is brightened up with Skin underneath it. I take one small pump, apply it to my fingers and use my fingers to spread it on my face starting at the center of my face working outward. I'll take a second teeny-tiny pump and spread it around my forehead (it's massive!), and I'm ready for foundation. Prep and Prim Skin does a good job at glossing over fine lines and larger pores, and it makes applying even the most matte and full-coverage foundations far easier.
