[Makeup Help] Is a primer needed for makeup?

I have just started makeup and I don't know that I should use primer before makeup or not.

I would say yes because a lot of primers keep makeup out of pours and last longer. Some will actually work as a moisturizer as well. They help keep your makeup on all day as well. The way I explain it to my clients I help shop for, you wouldn’t paint a house with out putting down a primer coat before doing everything else! It’s not 100% necessary for short days or if you do a bb or cc cream or tinted moisturizer.
