Water Based Foundation Silicone Primer

The difference between silicone and water based primers.

Water based foundation silicone primer.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the difference between silicone based foundations oil free foundations and water based foundations. Sometimes rich silicone based primers have a tendency to make your skin look oilier than it is. Water based primers are oil free and offer a mattifying effect to extend the wear of your makeup. What s even better is that they won t ever clog your pores because they feel so light and airy on the skin.

They absorb into my skin rather than sit on the surface like the silicone ones. Otherwise the primer is most likely water based. Silicone based foundation and primers have a very different feel compared to oil and water based products. Another way to tell if it s water based is if the label states that it is oil free.

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. See i never do well with silicone based primers even if i use a silicone based foundation over it. Also one thing that is not made clear is that silicone itself is oily so always look at the ingredients.

Silicone based primers are very. However even if it s labeled oil free it may still contain silicone. 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.
