Primers That Will Give You The Best Beauty Base

When it comes to a daily makeup routine, people often skip out on the primers because they seem pretty pointless. Like, what do they do actually? A lot is the answer. Primers not only minimize pores and even out complexion, but give you the perfect beauty base to apply your make up onto. Think of them as the opposite to a setting spray, aka, the bedrock of your overall beauty regime. But if you’re reading this, thinking that you haven’t got a clue where to start, don’t stress. We’ve got a whole list of priming products that will give you the best beauty base. Period. 

1. The Porefessional Face Primer- Benefit

Benefit’s weightless translucent balm both minimises pores and smooths out lines, giving you a gorgeously even complexion. Not only does it help fix your make up in place, it’s also actually really good for your skin, containing the antioxidant vitamins A, C & E.

2. Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer- Maybelline

Maybelline‘s “Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer” works much in the same way as the Benefit product above, but is around a third of the price, so a much better option if you’re on a budget. This primer softens your skin to a matte beauty base, giving your complexion a much lighter feel, and instantly airbrushing pores.

3. Wonderglow Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash Primer – Charlotte Tilbury

This super soft primer is both dewy and hydrating. Not only does it smooth lines and wrinkles, it literally brightens your complexion, due to the formula that cleverly captures light and reflects it back out into your surroundings, giving your face an utterly luminescent glow.

This feather-light creamy gel creates an invisible barrier to protect the skin on your face from outside elements. Made with antioxidant Vitamins A, C, and E that help you to maintain a supple and radiant glow; the overall effect works both to freshen your final makeup look, and to achieve an even complexion for days when you don’t want to wear makeup, making it perfect for any occasion.

9. SOS Primer- Clarins

The “SOS Primer” from Clarins gives us a hydrating base which is lightweight enough to allow the skin to breathe, the formula of pearls and soft-focus powders blending flawlessly to eliminate blemishes. The most exciting thing is that the colour of each primer indicates a different purpose: white combats dullness, rose fights fatigue, peach eradicates imperfections, coral balances complexion irregularities, lavender clears, and green gets rid of redness! Wow.
