What Type of Primer Do You Need in Your Routine?

Primers are super underrated. There are some who are even skeptical about the use of primers because they think primers are just an extra step to an already time-consuming makeup routine. However, primers do serve a very important purpose.

Of course, that important purpose relies mostly on the type of primer you use. But for the most part, primers are essential because they help your foundation to last longer. It serves as a base that your foundation clings on to so that it won't slide around and fade away throughout the day. But that's just the primary purpose of primers.

The secondary purpose of primers depends on your skin type. Is it dry or oily? Do you have large pores? Do you have breakouts and acne? Do you need illumination? These are things that a great primer can address. So let's dive into which type of primer you need in your life.

Large Pores

If large pores are your primary concern, you'll want to use a pore-filling primer that helps smooth your skin. The Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Face Primer is a silicone-based primer that fills in your pores to give you a nice even base for your makeup to cling on to. The great thing about this primer is that it also helps keep oil at bay. So apply this onto both the oily areas and the areas with large pores before you apply foundation.

Oily Skin

Large pores are often accompanied by oily skin, and there are some products who can address both issues. The Sleek MakeUP Control Shine & Prime is an oil-free primer that helps mattify the skin. It glides right on and also helps minimize fine lines and large pores. This is the perfect primer for ladies who find that their foundation fades away because of their oily skin.

Dry Skin

If there are primers for oily skin, there are also primers for dry skin. The Prime Primer Hydrating from Banila Co. rehydrates dry skin to prevent your makeup from looking dry and cakey. Hydrating primers also help keep the skin plump and supple, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Dull Skin

We all love a good glow, right? But if you're the type of gal who wants an all-over subtle glow as opposed to piling on the highlighter, you'll want to try the BECCA Backlight Priming Filter. Think of it as the primer that will give you the perfect Instagram filter, but in real life.

Dark Spots and Redness

Primers can also color-correct so that your foundation looks flawless. The Tony Moly Mix Primer Color Cushion come in a cushion compact that you can apply onto affected areas. The green primer helps to hide redness, the purple primer brightens sallow areas, and the peach primer helps hide dark circles and blemishes.

Extra Sun Protection

If you want a primer that has built-in sun protection, try out the Banila Co. Prime Primer Sun, which has SPF50+. This is the type of primer that's perfect for on-the-go ladies who want one product for two purposes. Just keep in mind that sun protection may result in a white cast when you use flash photography, so skip this primer if you'll be photographed with flash! Sensitive Skin

Primers also serve as a barrier between your makeup and your skin. If your skin type is sensitive, you'll want a gentle primer that can shield your skin from potential allergens in other products you use. The Banila Co. Prime Primer Purity is a primer specially made for oily skin. It contains no allergens and won't clog your pores, which means you're unlikely to suffer from a breakout when using it!

Ensure that the makeup you applied meticulously in the morning will still be there at night. These primers not only prolong the lifespan of your makeup, but it also has skincare benefits that nourish and soothe your skin!
