The First Step of Your Makeup Routine: Primer

April 01, 2024

Makeup primer is a crucial step in any makeup routine, serving as a base that helps your makeup last longer and look flawless throughout the day. But why is it so important to use a primer before applying your foundation and other makeup products?

What Does Makeup Primer Do?

Makeup primer creates a smooth canvas for your makeup by filling in fine lines, pores, and imperfections on the skin. It helps to even out the skin texture and tone, allowing your foundation to glide on seamlessly. Additionally, primer helps to control oil production, ensuring that your makeup stays in place and looks fresh all day long.
