The importance of face primer


Face/makeup primer is a base for foundation. It allows foundation to go on smoother and last longer. Primer also helps smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores. Makeup primer is one item I cannot go without!

If you suffer from face acne, primer can also lessen the appearance, helping to conceal it better. Primers create a super soft, velvety finish that is light on your face and creates a flawless canvas for foundation.

Primers are so easy to put on! It is applied after moisturizer and goes on the same way. It is lighter than most lotions and not oily at all. They also dry quickly! Primers won't break your face out of clog pores, but without one, foundation can!

The main reason to use a primer is to have your makeup stay on longer. They help decrease sweating and act as a shield against other elements, such a water. Primers work with any skin type and color. There aren't really any shades to choose from. Most primers are clear. My go to primer is e.l.f. cosmetics Mineral Infused Primer, or any others from their beauty line!
