Make-up primer

Which primer suits your skin and make-up look?

A primer is a light base that you apply after your day cream and before your make-up. The formula helps Foundation, a skin tint or other make-up products to be applied more evenly and to adhere better. Depending on the primer, it can also provide hydration, control shine or visually soften pores and fine lines.

• • Choose a moisturising primer for dry or dehydrated skin.
• • A mattifying primer helps to control shine throughout the day.
• • A blurring primer visually softens the appearance of pores and skin texture.
• • An illuminating primer gives the skin a fresh, radiant finish.

A moisturising primer for dry skin

A primer for dry skin provides extra hydration and helps the skin feel supple and comfortable. Its nourishing texture creates an even base and helps prevent Foundation from settling into dry patches.

Primer for skin prone to shine

A primer for oily skin helps to minimise excess shine and gives the skin a soft, matt finish. Apply the formula particularly to areas that are more prone to shine during the day, such as the forehead, nose and chin.

A blurring primer for pores and skin texture

A blurring face primer visually softens the appearance of large pores, fine lines and uneven skin texture. This makes the skin look smoother and allows your foundation to be applied more evenly. Apply the primer specifically to the areas of the face where you want to create this effect.

An illuminating primer for a radiant finish

An illuminating primer gives the skin a subtle sheen and makes a dull complexion look fresher. Apply the formula all over the face or just to the areas where you want to add more glow.

Discover primers for an even and long-lasting base

Skins’ range of make-up primers consists of lightweight formulas with different finishes and skincare benefits. From hydrating and radiant to softly mattifying and pore-minimising. This allows you to choose a make-up primer that suits your skin, your make-up routine and the look you want to achieve.

When used under foundation, a foundation primer helps the foundation apply more evenly and adhere better. If you’re combining your primer with a light skin tint or a tinted moisturiser, choose a lightweight texture that allows your skin’s natural radiance to shine through.

Apply the primer once your day cream and SPF have been fully absorbed. Allow the formula to settle briefly before continuing with your base. For extra staying power, you can finish your make-up look with a setting spray.
