This was something I only recently learnt the answer to at the ripe old age of 32! I’ve always worn make-up, but have never been too clued up on the basics. Cleanse, moisturise, foundation etc…. (gasp! nope, I’ve never bothered with toning!) that’s always been how I’ve rolled. Well hallelujah I have finally seen the light!
Basically, primer is a base for foundation that allows it to go on smoother and last longer throughout the day. It also minimises the look of skin imperfections as well as a diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ye-yaaaa!!
It’s not really too different from when you say, paint a house – the primer is your undercoat, the initial layer you paint on to smooth out any lumps and bumps, and to ‘seal the wood’. I totally wouldn’t be without it now!!
If you’re keen to find out for yourself what I’m talking about, or are already in the know but would be interested in trying out a different primer to one you might already be using – drop me a comment below or contact me on Facebook or by email, and I’ll get a FREE primer sample to you. It’s one I personally use and absolutely swear by.
