Water Based Foundation Silicone Primer

Hopefully this section of the post can help some people clear up their knowledge of the difference between the two.

Water based foundation silicone primer. See i never do well with silicone based primers even if i use a silicone based foundation over it. What s even better is that they won t ever clog your pores because they feel so light and airy on the skin. No foundation alone will give you as flawless an appearance as foundation applied over a primer. I have the most success with either water based since i m assuming the skindinavia is water based or glycerin based like the nivea post shave balm.

Silicone based primers are very. Water based foundations vs silicone based foundations vs oil free foundations. Sometimes rich silicone based primers have a tendency to make your skin look oilier than it is. Otherwise the primer is most likely water based.

If you are young lucky enough to have escaped acne and have youthful flawless skin you probably don t need a primer or a foundation for that matter. However even if it s labeled oil free it may still contain silicone. Water based primers are oil free and offer a mattifying effect to extend the wear of your makeup. They absorb into my skin rather than sit on the surface like the silicone ones.

Some people love the slick glossy smoothness and how they glide over the skin whereas others hate that and think that it s making their skin feel greasy. Another way to tell if it s water based is if the label states that it is oil free. Also one thing that is not made clear is that silicone itself is oily so always look at the ingredients.
