Primers- Why use one?

Now, I know that most people I know don't use primers; This is either because they don't know how or don't know why!

But no worries- I'm here today to show you how and why, lets hope by the end you'll be running out to get one!

1) Primers make your face a clean canvas- Using a primer sets a base for the makeup you are about the apply (ie; foundation). It smoothes fine lines and pores for a smooth and even application.

2)Primers help your makeup to last longer- Think of it like glue! Primers are not quite like slathering PVA over your face but they do give your makeup something to adhere to, giving it the chance to last longer. So if your planning on dancing the night away- don't forget your primer!

3) There are different primers! Primers can also enhance your makeup, some mattify the skin ensuring the skin does not have a shiny/oily appearance whereas some illuminate the skin, giving it a shimmering healthy glow. Different people (and skin types) use different primers! As a rule of thumb, if you have an oilier skin type, go for ones that mattify and reduce the appearance of pores however if you have dryer skin, go for ones that illuminate and give the skin a dewy radiance.

Ahhhh... I hope that has sussed primers for you all! Not too complicated was it? :/

Keep smiling, you're beautiful! x
