What is a Face Primer?

Face primes allow the foundation to stay put throughout the day and hot weather.  People with oily skin can benefit a lot from using a face primer. They also give you a smooth and even finish to apply your foundation on. 

Longer Lasting Foundation
As pores breathe, they consumer makeup. Primer creates a block between the skin and the foundation coat. Therefore, by using a primer you will have longer lasting foundation. 

More Coverage
Primer smoothes the skin's surface, adds coverage and provide a more finished look than foundation alone. They minimize pores and blemishes. 

Camouflage
Some primers provide more benefits such as adding moisture, tinting to help even out the skin tone. 

Smoothing Effect
Silicone based primers provide a coating for foundation to glide over. This helps stop the oil from the skin get mixed in with the foundation.
