Any makeup artist will tell you that one of the keys to getting a flawless look is by using a primer under your makeup. A primer is a base product that you apply before your foundation. A primer will fill in any creases, lines or large pores on your face. This creates a perfectly smooth canvas on which to apply makeup, and the look is pure perfection! Here are some basics:
Start with a clean face.
Apply a light moisturizer. Be sure the moisturizer is completely absorbed before applying your primer product.
Put a small amount of primer on your finger, and dot it on your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks.
Use a small triangle sponge (clean, of course) to sweep and apply the primer evenly all over your face. HINT: Do not use primer on your eyelids! There are specific eyelid bases and primers that are specifically formulated for this area.
Allow the primer to set and absorb for a few moments before you begin foundation application.
In the past, these fabulous primer products were available mostly to professional makeup artists and were not readily available to the public. Now, the secret is out! You can find primers at most of your major makeup counters. If you want to take your makeup technique up a notch, try a primer.
