I am slowly getting back into the little things that made me love blogging like photography. Currently, I’m in pursuit of becoming a flat lay queen, here is my first attempt.

Prepping your skin before putting on your foundation is a major step. Face primer is the first and most important step to achieving the perfect base for a smooth and long-lasting makeup look finish right after applying moisturizer.

If you’ve tried primer before and haven’t seen great results, the chances are that you didn’t choose the right one for your skin type. Like any makeup or skincare, using the correct primer for your skin is essential to achieving the best results.

Luckily, today that is what we will be talking about in order to help you find your perfect primer match that I have tried and tested so that you can experience sensational skin all day long.

  Most common primer mistakes?

Applying makeup too soon afterward.  You want to wait a full minute or more to allow the primer to dry completely before going in with makeup, as this will help to curb pilling or patchiness.

My favorite make up primers

The Mattifying primer

1. Benefit The POREfessional Face Primer

This primer is a true moisturizer for oily skin. The POREfessional’s translucent, oil-free formula complements all skin tones if you would like to create a smooth canvas and mattify shine.

The formula also contains vitamin E, which is known to protect the skin. I love it because it mattifies and totally hides the look of pores.

The Dewy Primer

2. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance

This moisturizing primer gives the skin a wet-looking glow that is perfect for those days when your skin is looking dry or dull, or simply anyone that needs a glowy pick-me-up.

It helps makeup glide on easily and last longer, so your look stays fresh and color-true for hours. The gel formula is enriched with moisturizing ingredients like castor and jojoba oils making it excellent for all skin types, except for the very oily.

The Everyday primer

3. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea

There is so much goodness in this facial mist. If I feel like my skin is looking dull or tired, then this is what I pick up. With an infusion of Cucumber and Peppermint Essential Waters, this facial mist delivers a cooling boost of hydration as Green Tea provides powerful antioxidant protection—leaving the skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.

To give your makeup a dewy finish, spritz your favorite brush or sponge before blending in foundation or concealer. Once you’re done, mist your face as a final step to add radiance.

For an extra refreshing and cooling boost, store the bottle in your refrigerator.

I hope its post has helped you learn more about makeup primer. Regardless, before choosing a primer do your research, get recommendations, and try different formulas in store.

Stay stylish
