5 reasons you should use a makeup primer

Although primers do not fight acne itself, they do help to lessen the appearance. They are far better at concealing the appearance of acne than a concealer alone, and a lot more subtle too.

Skipping face primer is terrible makeup offense. Whether you wear a full face of makeup everyday or you prefer to keep it simple, makeup primer create a smooth base for foundation.

Using primer underneath your makeup will make everything last longer, whether that’s on your skin or in your cosmetics bag.

4. Easy to apply

Another reason to use a makeup primer is they are incredibly easy to apply. They go on almost exactly like lotion on your face, but they are much lighter and not greasy at all.

They go on as liquid, and then quickly dry after that. Don’t worry, it’s nothing like glue on your face, or anything like that. Instead, they feel like a pillowy cloud of softness that’s almost like an exotic treat.

5. Lessens acne appearance

If you suffer from acne, makeup primers can help lessen the appearance. While they don’t help fight acne, they do help conceal it better and more subtly than concealer, though I’d suggest still using that after you apply primer.
