The Best Makeup Primer \ A Comprehensive Guide

January 10, 2024January 17, 2024 Catherine Oxley Comments Off on The Best Makeup Primer \ A Comprehensive Guide

The Best makeup primer

Today my friends, we're talking about makeup primers! I know we've all skipped using a primer now and then but let this be your friendly reminder NOT to skip this important step!

Think of your makeup primer as your best friend who's always got your back!

This is literally how I view my primer lol. 

Your primer has your back - or more like your skin, and acts as a protective barrier between you and your makeup and the outside world full which is full of impurities. 

So with that in mind, its kind of a no brainer - we all need a good makeup primer!

Okay, so now you might be asking, how do you pick out the best makeup primer?

There are so many options out there! But they are not all the best option for YOU. Its important to consider your skin type and your goals - and thats exactly what we'll be talking about today!

The Best Makeup Primer for Oily Skin

For those of you who struggle with oily skin, I'll say this first: DRINK MORE WATER and EAT MORE FRUIT! Hydrating your body is one of the best ways you can help your skin with excess oil production.

If you'd like some extra help with oil, then this is the primer for you!

Laura Mercier pure canvas blurring primer

Look no further if you want to control your oil! This product is AMAZING and creates an instant matte finish, controlling shine for up to 16 hours. Specifically formulated for combination or oily skin types, this primer will allow you to enjoy flawless makeup application and extended wear.

Makeup Primer for dry skin

Dry skin can be tough, especially in the winter.

One way I combat my dry skin is by exfoliating routinely at least once a week. But a good primer will definitely help seal in the moisture and protect your skin, no matter the season! 

I'm a huge fan of Tarte products because they're natural and have minimal "extras" in them unlike a lot of other makeup products. This primer in particular keeps skin hydrated for 12 hours, improves foundation application & extends wear, helps prevent makeup from caking in lines or pores, and gives skin a smoother, plumper appearance!

Tarte Double Duty Base Tape Hydrating Face Primer

The Best Makeup Primer for aging skin

I know we're all looking for ways to reverse the appearance of age and combat fine lines and wrinkles. This is where your primer will become your new best friend!

Wonderglow is formulated with collagen-supporting peptides, and anti-wrinkle ingredients to turn the look of dull, dehydrated skin around in a flash. With a transparent consistency, it blends seamlessly into any skin tone and is designed specifically to blur away fine lines and wrinkles!

Jouer Anti Blemish Matte Primer

This oil free mattifying anti-blemish primer is formulated with Salicylic Acid which is great for combating acne. It penetrates the skin to help treat existing blemishes and prevent the development of new acne, while minimizing the appearance of pores!

Best makeup primer for sensitive skin

If you have sensitive skin where you easily experience redness, itchiness, acne or over reaction to skincare products, then this primer is for you!

This is one of my personal favorites, I use just about every day!

Packed with antioxidants and healthy ingredients, this lightweight formula instantly smooths & blurs the look of pores & lines while helping to even out the look of skin over time.

If you're like me, and most of the world lol, we're all looking for that airbrushed look where your pores are unnoticeable! Well, you're in luck! I've got just the primer for you!

benefit pore-Fessional primer

This cult favorite has been around for quite some time and rightly so - because it works! It quickly minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines and help makeup stay put all day.
