Using moisturizer instead of primer can work in some cases, but they serve different purposes. Moisturizer hydrates the skin, providing a smooth base but lacks the staying power and pore-filling benefits of a primer. For everyday, casual wear, moisturizer might be enough. However, for longer-lasting makeup or a flawless finish, incorporating a primer is advisable.
