What are the different primers???

As someone who uses a primer on a daily basis, I thought I would share some of my research with you guys.
There are many types of primers out there, all with different price ranges and specialities. You have foundation primers, which can either mattify and moisturizer your face, some are even tinted to even out skin tones. There are eyelid/eye shadow primers which help even the clour of your eyelid, reduce oiliness but mainly they help with longivity of your eye makeup and intensifying the colour. Two rarely used primers include mascara primers and lip primers.

So recently my friend asked me "why is this make-up green??" (she's only just started using make-up, it's soo cute i've been teaching her stuff). I thought I would do a little post explaining what different primer colours are:
Green counteracts redness, so for rosacea, spots or general redness (like me).
Orange counteracts blue, e.g. under eye circles
Lavender makes skin appear brighter and corrects sallow skin
Pinks will help to brighten up your complexion
