Are Primers Worth Your Money?

Many people don’t understand or think primer is necessary when applying makeup. Primer is necessary. In fact, once you read why you should use primer you’re going want to buy some yourself.

1. It is a base for foundation that allows it to go on smoother

Primer really helps prep the skin creating an all over smooth feeling. It can also create some tackiness to the skin to help the foundation or makeup stick to the skin. Primer also helps the foundation glide onto the skin much more smoother than it would on bare skin.

2. It helps keep your makeup in place

Many primers offer different benefits. But, the majority all promise the same thing “long wear.” Some primers, like Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer potion, do a great job at keeping their promise and help keep that makeup fresh and in place all day.

3. Primer helps conceal areas you want covered

You can in fact get colored primers. Different colors help counter-act different trouble areas. For an example, green primers help with redness especially acne. Using a colored primer can help cover the areas you would like to be more concealed than others.
