Makeup primer is a preparatory product that is applied after your skincare routine to create an ideal canvas to hold onto whatever makeup comes afterward, like foundation, tinted moisturizer, or concealer. Here are some details about makeup primer:
Positive aspects:
- Smooths the skin, fills in lines and wrinkles, and creates a less porous surface for makeup.
- Helps makeup last longer and look better.
- Can help treat specific skin conditions and issues, like dryness, oiliness, blemishes, or the early signs of aging.
Negative aspects:
- If your primer contains harsh, irritating ingredients or strange chemicals that could be dangerous for your skin, there’s a potential for harm.
- Too much primer can sabotage your makeup look before you ever get to create it.
Ingredients or materials:
- Primers are clear and slippery, almost like a serum.
- Some primers are made with ingredients that can help treat specific skin conditions and issues, like dryness, oiliness, blemishes, or the early signs of aging.
- Primer comes in many forms, including silicone-based, moisturizers, sprays, and more.
How to use:
- Apply primer after your skincare routine and before you apply any makeup.
- Beginning at the center of your face, apply just a light layer of primer, dabbing it in with your fingers or a makeup sponge.
- A little goes a long way with primer.
- Evaluate what issues you have with your skin and then find primers that address them.
Its important to make sure the ingredients in your primer are safe, natural, and non-comedogenic before you decide to use it.
