Step 1: Apply Primer
Is it primer, concealer, foundation? Or primer, foundation, concealer? Which order do you think is correct?
Whether you’re going for heavy coverage or just a light layer of makeup, creating a base using primer should be on top of your makeup application routine.
A primer is an essential preparatory product that may come in the form of a hydrating serum or a silicon-based gel.
Aside from making the products stay on longer, primer also does a wonderful job of smoothening your pores and fine lines and preventing your face from oiling up.
Just a friendly tip, if you have dry skin, best to go for a hydrating primer like the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer to give the skin a smoother complexion and help lock in moisture.
However, if you have oily skin, choose a weightless, mattifying primer like the Maybelline Facestudio Master Prime Primer to control oil and shine.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to correctly apply face primer:
1. Prep Your Face
No one would ever recommend applying a primer on an unwashed face!
That said, make sure to cleanse and nourish your skin before you begin covering it up with makeup.
Make sure you wash your hands clean too! We don’t want you to spread dirt and germs all over your face!
2. Take Time To Prime
After you’ve completed your skincare routine, squeeze a pea-sized amount of primer on your fingers and apply it on the center of your face such as your forehead and cheeks.
Applying primer is best done using your hands because you can feel the product you’re using and control it better.
Pro tip, a little goes a long way. You don’t need more than a raisin or pea-sized amount of primer because using too much of it may cause your makeup foundation to clump.
After applying, blend the product outwards in a gentle, circular motion using your ring and middle fingers.
3. Double-Check and Reapply if Necessary
Make sure you’ve covered all areas by blending it up to your hairline and your entire neck.
We recommend you double-check and pay more attention to your face’s oil-prone areas such as the T-zone (forehead, nose, and cheeks). Makeup wears off faster here than on the other parts of the
