Vanity! Ah, it is all in a day's work! In a good sense though, a little bit of vanity, (the noun) would not do a lot of harm to a person's confidence! That will lead the individual to try to look better and the others close to that person will be delighted to see him/her look the best possible. Women are well conversant with this. Most of the gossip, discussion and talk is about make-up, hair, apparel, accessories and stuff. From a teenage girl to a corporate woman, to a middle aged woman, make up is a common thread binding all these women of different ages. An imperative part of a routine make up of young women, professionals or otherwise these days is make up foundation primer.
It is basically a product - in a lotion or a cream from which you apply even before you apply the foundation. There are claims that a primer works like a moisturizer. These are meant to be like a barrier between the foundation and the skin and they help in easy application. All this leads to makeup lasting longer and result in salicylic acid absorption.
Best Options of Foundation Primer
1
MAC Prep+Prime Skin is a good pick amongst this line of products. It is affordable and helps the make up stay in its place, till you wash it off! It helps the foundation to be applied well.
2
Laura Mercier is a silicone primer and is especially great at concealing fine lines, pores and wrinkles. Some user reviews say that it is very easy to apply and glides on smoothly.
3
As per the reviews and Smashbox Photo Finish is great to use with tinted moisturizers apart from foundations. Again, just like Laura Mercier this one has silicone, which makes it light and velvety.
4
Again, be it discussion on foundation primer for large pores or even makeup, it cannot be considered complete sans Revlon. Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer, the best one, suits your pocket as well as your skin. It works on fine lines and pores and creates a nice, even base for the foundation with a good fragrance.
5
Another product, which comes out trumps in the category is Yves Saint Laurent Matt Touch Primer. Make up on this stays all day long with its effective lightweight formula.
6
Clear Day Acne Clarifying Primer from Philosophy is an acne specialist. So it is apparently one of the best ones. It has salicylic acid for treating and preventing acne.
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15, Avon Magix, Channel Base Lumiere and few more are good picks. While buying these products please take care that you pick up the good ones and see the expiry dates and all, especially when buying online!
A foundation primer would not work properly, if it is not used properly, as it is a fairly new cosmetic product and will need time to gain credibility. So try out the known brands with the instructions to use of course! Take care! Look great, feel great!
