Face Primer vs BB cream?
I already use Maybelline BB cream and have a plan to try Oriflame Perfecting Face Primer. I love what BB cream did to even out my skin tone. My skin type is oily, I got some acnes and blemishes (from the acnes). I'm curious about face primer. is it worth to buy with my skin condition?

Primer is usually clear/goes on clear. It doesn't give you any coverage, and you usually use it underneath a foundation, because it helps smooth out your skin, so the foundation glides on, and it helps the foundation to stay on longer.
I don't really suggest that you use bb cream as a primer though! I love my bb cream, and have tried it as a primer because of how well it evens out my skintone, but what ends up happening is my foundation doesn't stay on super well, or i get kind of shiny, because it's not meant to make anything stay on your face...if that makes sense. I hope this helps!
Primer is more to create a layer on your skin so your makeup goes on smoothly. In addition it keeps your skin from getting oily. It is not going to help cover up the blemishes. You can also use the BB cream as a primer and apply makeup over the same.
