Get Primed

Makeup primers are a must have in your makeup bag. Using a primer helps makeup stay put longer and prepare the skin for makeup application. Primers are used after moisturizer and before foundation. Not only do primers prepare the skin for makeup application they also help to make the finished makeup appear more flawless because the skin’s surface is smoother once the primer is used.


There are many primers on the market today. Some have sunscreens to help protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays. There are primers that will absorb the excess oil in the skin and reduce the shine. Other primers will give the skin a glow, smooth lines and wrinkles, reduce redness, even the skin tone or moisturize the skin.

As a makeup artist or stylist, it’s a great idea to have primer in your makeup bag. There are several I recommend.

SmashBox Photo Finish Foundation Primer    
(Manufacturers Description)

Create a perfect canvas for foundation application with this silky, lightweight blend of vitamins A & E, grape seed extract and green tea. Worn alone or under foundation to increase its longevity, our best-selling primer helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for flawless skin with a velvety-smooth finish. In a new square airless pump for freshness to the last drop.

Oil-free!

Winner of Best of Sephora Award for Best Primer, one of Marie Claire's "25 Products That Will Change Your Life", & an InStyle Best Beauty Buy. $36.00

Makeup Forever HD Micropefecting Primer      
(Description from Sephora.com)


What it is:
A lightweight, oil-free complexion corrector that enhances the skin's texture and primes the skin for makeup application.

What it does:
HD Microperfecting Primer deeply nourishes, moisturizes, and softens the skin, creating a glowing effect. Creates a protective layer on the skin allowing foundation to glide on easily and last longer.
What else you need to know:
The Sephora-exclusive primer comes in six color-correcting shades and one transparent shade
Size: 1.01 oz $32.00

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer      
(Manufactures description) 
Foundation Primer is a lightweight, creamy gel meant to be used prior to foundation, creating an invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements.

Just as a painter "primes" a canvas, Foundation Primer - the original - was created by Laura Mercier in 1995 to "prime" the skin


Colorless gel leaves makeup looking fresh and colour-true the entire day

Ideal for normal and combination skin

Vitamins A, C, and E act as antioxidants and protect the skin from harmful, aging effects of the environment

Cooling Foundation Primer in the refrigerator is refreshing for the skin and reduces puffiness
