Minimize facial skin imperfections by applying a primer before or instead of foundation. Primers are transparent or slightly tinted creams or serums. They reduce the visibility of imperfections and wrinkles by filling them. They also even out the complexion giving some color and brightness. Apply the face primer as before your foundation or wear it alone for a more natural yet well-groomed look.
Steps
Step 1. Cleanse the skin with a mild facial cleanser and then pat dry with a clean towel
Step 2. Apply the moisturizer and let it absorb
Step 3. Take a pea-sized amount of face primer
Some products recommend the right amount to apply. Read the instructions before you begin
Step 4. Tap the product on your nose, cheeks, chin and forehead
Continue tapping until the entire amount taken has been spread on your face.
Throw away any excess
Step 5. Spread the primer well on the face with your fingertips until it is absorbed
You can also add a little product on the neck to even out the application
Step 6. Wait a minute before applying foundation
The primer should be completely dry before adding the new makeup layer.
Advice
- Although it is normally used as a base for foundation you can also wear it alone if you want a more natural look.
- Always use a primer before applying airbrush makeup to ensure a smooth, even finish.
- Try out different types of primers before buying one. There are many varieties, both in terms of texture and color. Ask for samples at the perfumery to determine which product is best suited to your skin.
