Everything You Need to Know About Makeup Primer

Makeup primer is often overlooked. And yet, it should be an integral part of your beauty regimen, as it gives skin a smooth, matte finish, reflects the light and enhances your makeup. A must-have for your cosmetics bag!

What is makeup primer?

Makeup primer is specially designed to cover up skin imperfections and enhance makeup results. It also extends the lasting look of your foundation.

How to apply it

It’s preferable to use a foundation brush. Apply the makeup primer to your whole face, particularly on prominent features, like the bridge of your nose and the tops of your cheeks, so that they reflect light. Wait two minutes (or until the primer is completely dry) before applying your foundation.

Choosing the right primer

Ideally, you should opt for a “multi-tasking” primer; one that mattifies your skin, enhances your makeup, smoothes out your skin, and reflects light. In order to know whether your makeup primer is up to all these tasks, read the label. The product features are usually clearly stated.
