A primer helps minimize the appearance of pores, and it also makes blemishes less visible. A primer is also suitable if you suffer from shiny and oily skin. There are special primers available that keep your skin matte, so you won't get shiny as quickly. Do you not use foundation, concealer, or other makeup on your skin? Then a face primer is not really necessary. However, a primer can make your skin look slightly more beautiful and even. Moreover, a primer can provide a matte effect, so your skin won't get shiny as quickly.
Primer types
A primer cream is often white or transparent, but primer creams are also available in different colors, such as green or pink. A green primer, for example, camouflages redness, which is useful if you often suffer from red cheeks or blemishes. Want to know more about these colors and what exactly they camouflage? Then read our blog about concealer and how to best camouflage blemishes. The type of primer you use is also very important. If you have very dry skin, it is best to use a slightly oilier or moisturizing primer. Do you have slightly oily skin? Are your pores clearly visible? Then it is best to use a matte primer that makes your pores look smaller. In addition, you can also choose from different types: cream primer, primer spray, and gel primer.
Applying primer
Makeup primer often contains skincare ingredients, such as minerals and vitamins, so it is especially important to always apply a primer before your makeup. Some primers also contain SPF (sun protection factor); if this is not the case, we recommend applying a day cream with SPF under your primer. Because primer is often seen as a 'shield' against external influences such as makeup, we often apply too much product to the skin. The rule for primer is: less is more. If you use a lot of primer, your skin will not look any better, and moreover, your makeup will not stay on as well if you use too much primer. For an even better result, you can also use a fixing spray or setting spray after applying your makeup.
