The best face primers ever
What is primer? How is it used and what is it for? Let's find out which are the best face primers on the market.
The face primer is a specific product for fixing make up, the composition is often (not always) silicone-based, so it should be used with care and sparingly without confusing it with a daily beauty treatment.
The silicones present in the primer ensure that it is inserted into the pores and folds of the epidermis, smoothing the make-up base and allowing it to be applied evenly and uniformly.
The texture can be in gel or cream and should be applied on clean, dry skin, immediately after applying the moisturizing cream as a base and just before proceeding with make-up. Furthermore, it should be heated and left to dry to allow the silicone to melt and become a very light and fine patina that can be applied.
We must specify that it is never wise to apply the directly primer, without having first applied the day cream as a base in order to protect the skin at least from the (mostly comedogenic) effects of silicone.
The product maintains any type of texture for a long time, from foundation to powder through lipstick and blush.
But let's distinguish the various types of primer: there is the eye-primer, that is, the specific one dedicated only to eye make-up which facilitates the application of powder eyeshadows, holding them and preventing them from fluttering all over the face, the fixing one for the make-up base and the one for lipstick which neutralizes the natural color, improving the nuance of the lipstick or gloss.
The best face primers are generally designed for all sealing needs: the smoothing or filler dedicated to skin with wrinkles and dehydration lines; or the anti-tired illuminating version and the mattifying version for oily skin. We had talked about the minimizing of enlarged pores such as the nice POREfessional by Benefit San Francisco which you can learn more about. And finally the versions rich in pigments to correct skin discolorations, thanks to high tech optical effects.
Another primer with many fans is also Pore Minimizer by Clinique, it is suitable for every need and every skin type, which makes the skin very smooth and, even without foundation, it remains a good solution for relaxing the face, preparing it for make-up, mattifying and perfecting the complexion.
Best face primers:
As always, there are all brands on the market, including the Microperfection Foundation Base for those who want an HD effect from Make up Forever, it is a hydrating base with a corrective effect that will be imperceptible to both a camera and daylight it is also available in seven different shades: neutral for all skin tones green to neutralize couperose mauve for yellow skin tones (Asian type) caramel to revive dark and tanned skin tones

Sephora, on the other hand, thought of us with Sublimateur de Teint, a smoothing and illuminating base that evens out and illuminates the complexion, it can also be mixed with foundation, facilitating the application of make-up, optimizing its hold.
