Having a good base for makeup is essential to obtain a flawless final result.
The goal, in fact, is to eliminate skin imperfections such as dyschromia (differences in skin color), dilated pores, some small defect caused by a pimple or simply that veil of tiredness, playing on the points of light and on the texture of the products used.
For a good makeup base, you should never miss a primer for the eyes and one for the rest of the face.
Remember not to use them interchangeably, unless specifically stated on the package. The skin around the eyes is in fact much thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face and therefore requires a product such as a satin scrub, to avoid creating unsightly accumulations between the folds.
The same goes for the face, which has different areas to treat from the chin-neck to the forehead and therefore requires a texture that is not heavy and is luminous.
WHAT IS EYE AND FACE PRIMER
The word itself suggests that it is a cosmetic product that should be applied before all other cosmetics, including foundation .
It comes in cream or lotion form and is applied first because it improves both the coverage of defects and the duration of the makeup itself . Its application is very simple because it can be done with the hands (with the fingertips in the area around the eyes for example) or even with an applicator.
The primer will ensure that the unsightly creases that often appear around expression lines, such as around the eyes, on the forehead, chin or at the sides of the mouth, are not created .
A primer to try is Maybelline's Superstay Primer, a long-lasting perfecting makeup base that minimizes shine, smooths skin, and evens out skin tone. In short, the perfect base for a perfect result.
HOW TO USE EYE PRIMERS
Before applying eye primer , it is advisable to always apply a moisturizing cream to prepare the skin .
As mentioned before, eye and face primer can be applied with the fingertips but also with specially designed brushes that facilitate a uniform result.
The choice of primer is important and should be based on your skin type and also your age. For example, you will need an illuminating primer if your skin is dry or mature or has suffered the signs of aging by dulling.
For mature skin, an anti-aging primer or one with corrective capabilities may also be indicated when the skin shows sun spots or rosacea. Among the best primers on the market are those that belong to the category of instant pore minimizing primers , with the ability to correct any defect quickly and uniformly. It is in fact a primer indicated to erase the deformity that is often given by dilated pores. In this way, with just one step the skin immediately becomes smooth and soft but above all uniform.
The lightweight formula doesn't weigh you down or clog pores, so your skin can breathe freely. The best way to apply this type of primer is to pat it onto the areas you want to cover, and if your skin doesn't need to cover any imperfections, you can skip the foundation altogether.
The composition based on cherry extracts promotes the withdrawal of those small capillaries that often appear around the nostrils or on the cheeks.
An astringent effect that with prolonged application over time can provide benefits thanks to these principles to resize them and give the skin a better appearance.
The primer is therefore essential to be in order all day and on any occasion, even during the summer season, when other types of make-up do not hold up to the heat and humidity. The overall effect will always be that of a luminous skin, without defects and aesthetically very pleasant.
THE PRIMER THAT ERASES THE SIGNS OF FATIGUE
How many times have you looked in the mirror in the morning as soon as you woke up and noticed the signs of accumulated tiredness and stress on your face?
Of course, everything is done to eliminate them and give the face a relaxed, relaxed appearance. An infallible method is to use an illuminating foundation .
It is a product that women really like because it erases fatigue in a single gesture, immediately reviving the complexion and smoothing it in a truly excellent way.
Its extremely versatile composition covers all imperfections and in particular the presence of particularly dark dark circles .
This is one of the most critical points for women, who certainly do not like having a tired look, however marked by a dark area that, with other products, is difficult if not impossible to eliminate.
In any case, for this type of particularly “stubborn” and dark circles, completing the makeup base is the application of an orange-colored concealer that should be toned down and harmonized either with the primer itself or with the foundation, to give continuity to the color and therefore also to the area between the eye socket and the rest of the face.
Another advantage of the primer is that it is not greasy and does not stick to your fingers.
This way it spreads easily with the right amount of product, which gives a natural and professional effect to your make-up.
You can safely apply it in the morning to have a flawless hold on the entire face (thus avoiding using two types of primer for eyes and face).
Even in this case, you do not have to apply foundation if your skin does not require it and you can proceed with the application of a compact or powder, strictly applied with a brush to maintain the satin and luminous effect of your skin.
THE TE AREA THE PRIMER
When talking about skin luminosity, it is also important to underline the primer's ability to enhance the so-called "light points" , corresponding to the "T-zone" . The "T-zone" is the area between the forehead, nose, lips and chin that you should focus on to harmonize any type of make-up.
It should also be remembered that primer also helps eliminate that unpleasant shiny effect typical of oily and combination skin in this area. In this way, you are not forced to "touch up your makeup" every 2 hours, especially in summer when temperatures are particularly high and you tend to sweat.
So don't give up on having smooth, well-groomed skin with an even complexion, making enlarged pores disappear or at least significantly reducing their size.
The effect that primer gives to the skin, especially when it does not require the further application of foundation, is often compared to that of a child's complexion. This says a lot about the exceptional qualities of a product that can literally change the perception of the "pre-makeup" phase and enhance any type of skin. Use it on the most important occasions but also for everyday makeup.
Try it and you won't be able to do without it because it will make you feel good about yourself and others.
