Yes, you really do need to wear primer before makeup. Why? Not only does primer prep your skin for the perfect foundation application by filling in fine lines and smoothing out pores, but it also keeps your makeup looking fresh all day. It’s one of those beauty secrets that can make a big difference in the look and wear of your makeup and bring it to a whole new level. But how do you get the most out of you priming prod? Follow these steps…
Step One - Moisturise: Apply a light moisturiser before priming and allow it to fully absorb into your skin for a few minutes. Heavy creams tend to make primer slide right off your skin so something like Origins Make A Difference Plus+ Rejuvenating Moisturiser should do the trick and will help make your priming application even.
Step Two - Blend: A little primer goes a long way, so apply a pea sized amount with your fingertips and starting in the centre of the face, work your way out to create a light and even coverage. You can also apply the product by dipping a damp foundation wedge sponge into the primer and dabbing it gently onto your face, beginning under your eyes and around your nose. Next, add the primer to your forehead, chin, nose, and cheeks and using the same sponge, blend the primer right into your skin. Use a little extra in places where your makeup tends to wear off quickly, such as in the T-zone or over large pores.
Step Three – Apply foundation: Once your primer is on, allow a few minutes for it to set before applying foundation.
Step Four - Finish with powder: To really lock in your makeup, apply a dusting of translucent powder over your base, specifically focusing on the T-zone area where makeup tends to slide off first due to oil excretion..
here are the types of primer and the colors to use on what kind of skin and what you want to improve.
