So I live in the middle of Crazy town London, which plays havoc with anyones skin. Having to spend an hour a day underground getting to and from work does not give kindly. Hot and bothered!
I use Clinique City Sheer Block underneath my foundation which absorbs Oil and perspiration. Essentially it is a sunscreen but can be used as a primer. This locks in my foundation beautifully and it aids your foundation to staying on your face for longer.
There are a couple I use, for Oil absorption, including MAC Mattifying gel which is another fabulous product which absorbs straight into the skin.
In short the importance of a primer cannot be stressed enough. I was one of possibly many people who thought I should just slap on my foundation after moisturising; but all that does is apply a layer of foundation of a layer of grease and makes is slip off your face. Definitely moisturise but ensure you do it and leave a good interval before application of your makeup. Your primer will serve you well in the plight for a long lasting look :)
