How many times have you tried your best to achieve a perfect makeup that only lasted for a short time before it started to "break" and fade?
Do you know what primers are, their benefits and how they are used?
In recent years in the field of beauty there is often talk about the use of products called bases - primers.
However, many do not know what primers are, how they are used and whether they are really necessary in makeup and in everyday life.
• What are primers?
Primers are products that are specially designed for the face (Makeup Primer), eyes (Eyeshadow Primer), eyelashes (Lash Primer) or lips (Prime & Prep Lipstick Base) and each primer can help your makeup to stay in place and improve your makeup.
As a general rule, primers are applied as the first step in the makeup routine before applying any makeup products (such as foundation, concealer, eye shadow, etc.) to prepare the skin for makeup, moisturize it, conceal pores, achieving a perfect appearance and increasing the duration of the result.
Using a makeup base eliminates all skin and makeup problems that may appear during the day. Especially in cases where the makeup is desired to remain on the skin for a long time, the benefit of applying a base is extremely high.
For people with problem skin, completing the makeup after using a makeup base will eliminate undesirable conditions such as running or flaking of makeup during the day and preserves the natural integrity of both skin and makeup and makes it look perfect.
• Benefits of using a face primer
The benefits offered by a face primer are many, both in a daily makeup and for a special occasion.

• How to use face primers
To achieve the best result in makeup, it is important to know how to use a face primer, but above all your skin type and tone.
If you have open pores and oily skin type, you can choose a matte makeup base. In this way, you can reduce and balance the extra shine and oil on your face and create a suitable area for makeup.
If you have a dry skin type, you can choose some makeup products with moisturizing, emollient and brightening ingredients. So when you apply foundation to your face, you can hydrate your skin and spread the makeup evenly to prevent it from getting flaky over time.
First, the application of a primer is done on a clean, moisturized face. Apply the primer in spots (pea size) and make gentle dabbing movements.
For people who are not in the makeup industry, the best way is to use the primer base by applying it to the face with clean fingers.
Experts recommend using a makeup brush or sponge for a better result.
Caution: do not overdo it, as the ultimate goal is to create a thin, transparent primer layer. Too much primer is not going to give a better result, quite the opposite.
After application, allow the primer to absorb into the skin for a few minutes before continuing with makeup.
Using a foundation for people with combination skin types requires balancing the different needs of different areas of the skin. However, applying two different makeup bases at the same time often leads to undesirable results. And this is because neither foundation can penetrate the skin sufficiently and usually one of the areas needs to be hydrated and the other needs to be matte.
If you want to use two different makeup bases for combination skin types, a matte base can be applied to oily areas of the face, such as the T-zone, while a hydrating base can be applied to dry areas. In this way, you will be able to balance the skin and ensure that your makeup lasts longer.
However, not regularly cleaning makeup sponges and brushes is a common mistake. Keeping these tools clean makes makeup application much more hygienic.
If you use a moisturizer or sunscreen in your daily routine, you can apply it before applying your foundation and wait a few minutes before applying it to your skin. This way, the skincare products you apply to your face won't run off your skin.
