Makeup primer is a preparatory product that is applied after skincare to create an ideal canvas to hold onto whatever makeup comes afterward, like foundation, tinted moisturizer, or concealer. It is used as a base to improve the rest of your makeup application and can enhance many parts of your beauty routine, including smoothing the skin, filling in lines and wrinkles, and creating a less porous surface for your makeup. Primers can also provide a glow-boost and extra skin benefits like hydration and moisturization. Depending on the type of primer, you can get many different skincare benefits as well as making your makeup glow. Some primers also provide support for specific skin concerns, like dryness, oiliness, blemishes, or the early signs of aging.
In conclusion, primer is not a necessary step in a makeup routine, but it can be very helpful in creating a flawless finish on your skin before you even apply makeup. It can help makeup stay in place, make it easier for you to apply it, and provide additional skincare benefits.
