What is a Primer?
A primer is a base product used before makeup application to refine skin texture and enhance the longevity of makeup. It serves various functions such as pore and texture coverage, oil control, hydration, and tone correction, making it important to choose one that suits your skin concerns.
Benefits & Effects of Using a Primer
✔ Increases Makeup Longevity 💄
Using a primer helps prevent foundation from caking or breaking down, keeping your makeup fresh and intact throughout the day.
✔ Covers Pores & Smooths Skin Texture ✨
A primer creates a smoother surface, minimizing the appearance of pores and achieving a flawless finish.
✔ Controls Oil & Creates a Matte Look 🌿
For oily skin, an oil-controlling primer helps reduce shine and keeps your makeup looking fresh and matte.
✔ Evens Out Skin Tone 🎨
Color-correcting primers neutralize redness, dullness, or discoloration, creating a more even complexion.
✔ Provides Hydration & Protects the Skin 💧
If you have dry skin, choosing a primer with moisturizing ingredients can help keep your skin hydrated while also acting as a barrier against external irritants.
How to Apply Primer & Useful Tips
👉 Use a Small Amount
Applying too much primer can cause it to clump or peel off. A thin, even layer is key!
👉 Use a Brush or Sponge Instead of Fingers
Using your fingers can add extra oil to your skin, so it’s best to apply primer with a brush or sponge for a more even finish.
👉 Choose a Primer Based on Your Skin Type
- Oily Skin: Oil-controlling & mattifying primers
- Dry Skin: Hydrating primers with moisturizing ingredients
- Combination Skin: Use different primers for different areas (Matte for the T-zone / Hydrating for the U-zone)
- Sensitive Skin: Fragrance-free & hypoallergenic primers
👉 Eye Primer Application Tip
For longer-lasting eye makeup, apply a small amount of eye primer to your eyelids and set it with a light dusting of powder before applying eyeshadow.
