Why You Should Add a Primer Into Your Everyday Makeup Routine
Walking into Sephora or Ulta can be overwhelming, am I right? Seeing so many options in your face makes you want to stick to your basics and get out of there! But, I want to ask you... are you really getting the most out of your essentials? Let me fill you in on one of the most underrated products… face primer! You wouldn’t paint the walls in your house without one right? So what makes your skin any different! I want to blow your mind and prove to you why you should never apply makeup without first priming your face again!
So, WHAT is a face Primer?
In the most basic of terms, primer can be a cream, liquid or gel-like formula that preps the skin by smoothing the texture, hydrating it, filling in your pores and soothing redness among other amazing benefits that create a perfect surface for your makeup to easily glide on and LAST ALL DAY LONG!
Depending on your day-to-day routine, using a primer may not seem needed for everyday wear… BUT when it comes to events or even a long day, you’ll be thankful for this quick, additional step!
Of course there are many kinds of primers & they each have a variety of benefits, so let me share some of my favorite face primers & why!
Tip: It’s important for you to know your skin type in order to identify which primer may be best for you. So, if you aren’t sure, you can head over to this quiz to get your results first! Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!
