Best Primers For Dry Skin That Work Like Magic

Best Primers For Dry Skin That Work Like Magic

Every woman has her own journey with makeup. whether you are a pro with a ring light or an amateur who skips the setting spray, makeup is more about how we feel good doing it and how we feel after. I have had a love/hate relationship with makeup. There was a time when I have stepped out with a matte face, a shade lighter than my actual shade and a shiny forehead. While I won’t call myself well-versed in the art of makeup after a couple of years of practice, I can pull off a well-beat face that lasts me all day and looks natural. My secret (which isn’t really a secret) is to never skip the primer!

Primers are a product that acts as a barrier between your skin and the many layers of makeup. Priming agents are usually used to make makeup last longer, add hydration to the skin, smooth the skin’s surface, and, even out the skin tone. Some products even work on dark spots and blemishes, adding the benefit of skincare even when we have makeup on. With varieties like illuminating primers, colour correcting primers, and pore-minimizing primers, this versatile product should be in every makeup lovers’ essentials pouch.
