Makeup Primer

I have never understood what the use of makeup primer is.  Then while watching one of my guilty youtube beauty videos I heard over and over again how amazing they are and what they actually do.
What do they do? I hear you ask.  Well make-up primers go on after your moisturiser and help your make-up from melting, smudging or creasing.  Now it should be noted that primers are not miracle creams that keep you looking exactly the same as when you looked in the mirror after finishing your make-up first thing in the morning, but they do go a long way to helping maintain the look throughout a busy day.  Especially a busy Summers day. 
So which ones are the best?  Well I don't know, I'm no beauty expert.  I haven't used a primer except for one time and it was a sample tube and then I threw it away and can't remember what it was, but it was amazing.  But I have entered into the world of eye primers.
My first attempt was Revlons Photoready Eye Primer.  I wanted something cheap and easy to get the feel for it.  I used it a couple times and noticed a definitive difference although I do not like the tube dispersal.  After doing some research I bought the Laura Mercier Eye Canvas.  It comes in a pot and can be applied with a brush which I think I like better.  I have yet to use it but will update this when I do.  Not that anyone cares :)
