5 Primers That Make Your Skin Look Lit AF

Rebekah Patnigere

Have you ever spent hours and hours getting ready for an important function, only for your face makeup to be smeared 2 hours later? (I have been there…)

Not anymore when you have primers to make your glam-game budge-proof, smudge-proof, smear-proof, slide-proof….basically life-proof! 


Priming Benefits:

Pore-fect skin!

Pore-fect Skin: 

Primers are pore-fixers. They create a blanket on your skin so that the foundation doesn’t seep in your pores. So, go for a liquid foundation. We can assure you that pesky pores won’t peek through!


 Smooth-a-licious Skin

Smooth skin is in!

Do you get all scared when you apply makeup over your textured skin? Applying a primer will add a smooth base before your foundation. Your skin will feel as soft as a  baby’s butt! HAHA!

Non-Comedogenic

Pesky pimples no-more!

Most primers are non-comedogenic.  (I said ‘most’ not ‘all.’) This hard to pronounce com-d-genic….basically means that it won’t clog your pores or break you out!

 

Loooonnnggg-Stay!

Survives the heat and humidity!

If you want your makeup to last the rain, heat, humidity or even an Apocalypse then a primer is a must! They act as a natural shield from dust, debris, and water to prevent makeup from sliding off!

 

Reduced Redness

Reduces redness

Modern-day primers also help skin calm down in case it is red with irritation. They can dramatically reduce redness and even irritation! Don't believe us, give it a shot!

 

Reverses the Clock (temporarily)

Look Ageless!

Primers may not have anti-ageing properties, but they do smooth out fine lines and wrinkles so that your foundation looks smoother and less crumpled.

 

Matte-ly in love

Matte and fresh!

 

Primers have the ability to absorb oil and keep skin matte for long hours!

Pro-Tips while using a primer:

 

✔ After applying a primer, wait for one full minute for the primer to completely dry. 

✔ Do not use a primer all over your face! Use it only on target areas.

✔ Try to match your primer not just to your skin type, but to the foundation type as well! Certain foundation formulations do not gel well with priming formulations. So a 24 hours wear-test is a must!

✔ Start with a small amount and work your way up! Using too much primer will make your skin look cakey and makeup will slide off easily!
