The 8 best makeup primers for a flawless complexion
Let’s start things off on the right foot
Want to create the kind of makeup looks that rival the professionals? An airbrushed flawless finish? Makeup that lasts well past application? A beat that somehow manages to balance a natural dewy finish without looking like an oil slick?
Yep, us too. And the secret to creating these looks is actually surprisingly simple – makeup primer.
It may seem like a massive oversell, but without a sturdy foundation for (ironically enough) your foundation, concealer, bronzer and the rest of it all to sit on, all those precious dollary-doos and hours spent on makeup become obsolete.
Here, we’ve collated eight of the best primers money can buy so you can finally paint the face of your dreams.
Another trick for making your makeup last longer? Translucent powder. Here are seven of the best translucent powders for banishing unwanted shine.
