When it comes to makeup we often place all the emphasis on layering on foundation and concealer or creating a fun colorful graphic liner look or bold lip – but one of the most important parts of makeup application is making sure your face is properly prepared for anything you place on it.

What is a face primer and what does a primer do for your face and foundation?

A face primer has many benefits for your makeup and each one offers a range of different results depending on the one you pick.
• Overall – most makeup primers are designed to help extend the wear of your makeup and help your makeup last longer
• Some face primers create a temporary smooth texture to the skin and fill in fine lines, pores, and wrinkles to help makeup glide on smoothly for even looking foundation
• Certain makeup primers can be great for oilier skin types as they can help to mattify skin with shine and oil-controlling properties
• Makeup primers can also help to change the finish of your makeup look by creating either a dewy, illuminating, and glowing base for your makeup

How do I use a face primer?

A face primer is best used in your makeup routine as the step between your skincare and your base coverage products like foundation and concealer. After cleansing with your favorite facial cleanser and using a lightweight serum (Like Advanced Génifique Face Serum) and moisturizing (be sure to use a moisturizer with SPF during the daytime) apply a primer suited to your skin type and desired makeup finish to the skin. For best results – make sure your skincare has fully absorbed before applying your face primer. It’s also a good idea to allow your face primer to set before applying any of your coverage products as this can help to prevent your foundation from pilling or applying splotchy.

What type of face primer should I pick?

The face primer you choose is going to depend on what areas of your face and skin you wish to target with a face primer. As explained different face primers can help to target different areas of concern.

Meanwhile silicones and emollients help create an even base for foundation and the oil‑free formula feels comfortable on skin as it controls shine making it a great face primer option for oily skin (but it’s also suitable for use on all skin types)
