What Is Face Primer?

Question

Explain to me what it is and what its for.

What brand do you recomend?

Answer 1

face primer is a formula you put on your face that helps all of your makeup stay on longer. i would recommend brands like benefit, lancome, clinique, or maybe even MAC

Answer 2

It preps your face for the foundation, and acts as a barrier for your face and the foundation. It creates a smooth pallette for the foundation as well. I use the Smashbox Photo Finish Light primer, as I have oily skin, and it not only creates a great matte finish, but makes my makeup last all day.

Answer 3

A face primer is one of the best ways to insure your makeup stays on longer, they're relatively new products so few drugstore brands make primers. They pamper the skin and create a protective barrier. Primers are excellent for people with combination to oily skin. Just apply after moisterizer and let it sink into the skin for a few minutes, and carry on with your regular foundation routine.
