Face Primers can help you get the makeup of your dreams. Firstly, a primer blurs out all the imperfections on your face- be it freckles, acne, age spots, fine lines, or wrinkles. Not only does it take care of your imperfections but also smoothes out textured skin, making it appear even-toned. It blurs pores and gives your skin a matte finish. Primer doesn’t cause your makeup to slip or pill.
Secondly, if you have large open pores, a primer might be the answer. It will not reduce the size of the pores but will make them appear smaller. It is necessary to moisturize your skin well and prep it before applying any makeup. The primer fills out the open pores by gentle tapping and dabbing and creates a smooth base for applying makeup.
Thirdly, the primary purpose of a primer is to create a layer between your skin and makeup, regardless of the type of skin you have. The primer should be the ‘actual foundation’ before applying any foundation/compact.
Fourthly, a primer not only mattifies your skin but makes it sweatproof of oily skin. Primer is the only thing that makes your makeup last longer and keeps you looking fresh all day long.
It’s essential to remember that primers work differently on every skin. A primer that works well for oily skin won’t be practical with a water-based foundation and vice versa. Lastly, some primers don’t play well with some other makeup products. It’s important to pay attention to the ingredients of the product. A matte primer for oily and combination skin will give you a matte finish. It will also absorb excess oil and smooth out skin texture.
All matte primers are silicone-based. A silicone primer will feel heavier than a water-based one. It’s also best if you’re looking for a product that’ll give you a smooth and poreless finish. However, a water-based primer/silicone-free primer is suitable for dry skin because it is a second moisturizer.
