How To Pick The Best Makeup Primer For You And To Use It like A Professional

The start of every great make-up look is a great foundation, whether you are rocking a full face or just a few dabs of concealers. And while a great skincare system will do wonderful things to ensure that your make-up is worn perfectly every day, first is the secret to getting your make-up done in the way it should be. If you don’t know about Make-up Primers, let’s talk about them first. These lightweight, silky gels and creams are designed to be applied to ensure a flawless base application by filling fine lines and smoothing irregular skin texture. Moreover, they keep the makeup fresh all day long. 

Primers have advanced a long way in the last decade from the make-up kit to their vanity, and they come in a stunning variety of formulations

What does the first thing and how to pick the right thing?

Primers are kind of like your beauty insurance. Although many hats are also worn—smoothing, dissimulating, preserving, and preparing—their main functions are to maintain their makeup longer and give the skin a smooth and flawless finish. Any fading, bleeding, or blotchy actions that can occur during the day can be typically avoided with your foundation using a little prime (simply ensure that the ingredients are playing well together!). Moreover, several primers are now also infused with SPF, which helps to protect the skin from UV rays during radiation. Try a prime brush like the NYX Professional Makeup High Glass Face Primer Brush for an application that will help you spread the product uniformly around the face.

Don’t forget your eyes

Now that your skin looks like an IRL filter from Instagram, where else do you use the mystical potion Primer? Why, of course, your eyes. Think about this: What’s worse than making a beautiful masterpiece in your mind just an hour or so later? Nothing. Nothing. Face primer is fast and easy to wipe on and makes a difference for your shadow’s pigment and longevity. 

What is the Eye Primer exactly? 

In short, the eyewear primer is a liquid-based on fluid or cream, which is added to the eyelids for smoother and longer shades and eyewear. It helps to hang on to your eyeshadow and mascara as a double side tape that lasts longer and guarantees that it sticks to your heads and doesn’t stray. It can also help to improve the makeup colors and lighten them. 

This is why you need it?

The primer provides an eyelid foundation, absorbs excess oil, and makes a uniform working surface. Unless you first use gray eyelids, shadows will get the “greater” effect all day or be patchy and inconsistent in application. Those with dry, first-less eyelashes, on the other hand, can absolutely disappear shadow pigment within a matter of hours. 

Like lips, eyelids will also have a subtly natural pigment or tone that makes it difficult for some shadow colors. Primers, in particular those with nude or white tones, are a clean canvas that allows all shadow colors to penetrate. Heck, if you have been giving big bucks for those single and palette shadows, you can get the benefit of your money with strong make-up looks, right? 

How to use Eye Primer

STEP 1: After applying your daily eye creams and facial moisturizers, squeeze a tiny bit of primer (we stan the OG Urban Decay Eyeshadow Potion)on a flat eye shadow brush.

Phase 2: The coating is thin and easily absorbed so that the skin is smooth and shady. The trick is just a mustard seed quantity for each lid. 

STEP 3: Use fast, smooth tapping motions to mix the formulation into the skin. Start your lash line and work through the brows (yes, brows this will help your brow products last longer).

STEP 4: Note to apply first underneath the bottom laths if the shadow or liner is to be used there. Enable the formula to dry for about a minute. 

Types of Face Primers 

Primers of Blurring

Blurring primers such as the YSL Beauty Touche Éclat Silver Blur Primer uses light-reflecting technology to produce a soft-focus effect that makes them easier to cover by airbrushing out defects. We really love the Master Prime Blur + Smooth of Maybelline New York Face Studio, a beauty buying drugstore that keeps up all day and won’t break the bank.

Primers for Color Correction 

These rainbow colors eliminate the issue by using the color wheel principle – where shades on the other side of the wheel cancel each other – to mask skillfully the problems of your skin. NYX Color Correcting Professional Make-up Liquid Primer is made in five shades: green to combat redness, pink to revive the exhausted color, and blue to eliminate sallow shades. We also recommend LA Girl Pro Prep HD Color Correcting Face Primer, a lightweight, paraben-free, vitamin B3-rich drugstore premium option.

Primers for anti-aging

Anti-aging primers have both defensive and healing properties. A variety of SPF features, such as IT Cosmetics No.50 Serum Anti Aging Collagen Veil Primers, are used for protecting against UV damage and other skin-healthy ingredients that enhance skin texture and toning.

Primers of Illumination

One sure way to make your makeup look like skin rather than make-up? Primers with illuminating properties like the NYX High Glass Face Primer professional makeup. Apply them on the whole face or at the high points of the skin (nose, brow bone, cheekbone, greedy arc) to add life and measurements. If you have a good day and you don’t want to wear a base, you can always use an enlightening first to revitalize your skin. If you are willing to splash a little we suggest the holy-grail face primer, which works particularly well for dry skin, the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer.
