Primers

12 matting, aligning tone, illuminating and refreshing bases to extend the resistance of makeup

Every week, The Village talks about certain beauty products, whether it is decorative cosmetics or skin or hair care products that deserve attention and greatly make life easier. In the new issue - a preparatory step in applying makeup - primer.

The primer is primarily designed so that the cosmetics will hold on the face longer: bright shadows will not slide and do not fade longer, the favorite matte lipstick will not emphasize peeling and will not float over the contour of the lips, and the face will not begin to shine like a butter, a couple of hours after applying a tonal cream.

Like a daily face cream or a tonal base, the base must be selected depending on the type and condition of the skin. Classic primers, as a rule, not only prolong the life of makeup, but also smooth out pores, remove visible peeling and reduce redness. Mattering - save combined and oily skin from the shine, colored - refresh the tone of the face, and the base for makeup of Korean brands help owners of especially light skin due to the lightweight scoring effect.

At the same time, some brands, such as Make Up for Ever or Smashbox, go even further and offer to choose a primer not only by the type of skin, but also as a means that solve a specific problem (in the appendage to extension of makeup resistance): merchants and pronounced redness, dull complexion, pigmenting, skin dryness and so on. The base for shadows will be needed by those who are not indifferent to bright matte shades, which, as a rule, reluctantly give the pigment and quickly dull. The primer for the lips also works best with bright colors and matte textures: the balm will smooth peeling, which inevitably emphasize matte lipsticks and moisturize their lips.

Many primers (as a rule, these are the same color base for makeup or products with reflective particles) are quite capable of replacing a tonal cream or powder - this is a way out for those who do not like a feeling of overloaded skin cosmetics, but with a naked face to go outside.
