There is a post on here somewhere (not sure what key words I used for
search) where one or two people are doing just that, mixing the primer and a corrector.
Myself, I don't want to prime my whole face, I just need some way to make foundation stick to that bump. My mix showed promise but has to be set with something on top. Very carefully. Then not touched.
I am very close to going to the mall (ugh) and to a dept store (double ugh) and seeing if there is a Clinique shade of that powder foundatin that is a match. I am sure it will run a small fortune and be way to large a size for just "dabbing" on this thing everyday.

It isn't a scar. Never had any injury there. Definitely some primo kind of sun damage and also quite likely something that can get bad. That side of my face is where the sun has tormented me morning and evening on my commute for years and years. I am too short for the visor to help, it's just below my sunglasses and guess I never had kept enough sunscreen on it.
I most certainly did consider having it removed, when I had decent insurance (an indecent HMO). The nasty network gate keeper doctor (an osteopath aargh) refused to refer me to a dermatologist or whomever could take care of it. She condescendingly told me to dab makeup on it.
I get so mad and depressed everytime I see it. I don't have medical insurance anymore so am up a creek until I do. Then again, maybe any removal of it would leave a keloid or scar just as bad as it.
