What is face primer and what does it do?

Once you start using a primer, there’s no going back! You've probably heard this before, but face primers are undoubtedly the best beauty ally for achieving an impeccable make-up base and flaunting wonderfully radiant skin.  While being a relatively recent addition to beauty bags, they've now become a must-have make-up essential capable of solving any problem! Does your lipstick settle into the creases around your lips? With a specific primer this will no longer happen. In need of a make-up look that will stay put all day long? Whether with eyeshadows, foundations or blushes, the solution is always the same: use a primer beforehand!   

Face primer for oily skin Those who tend to have oily skin have excess sebum and enlarged pores on the surface of their skin.  The right primer in this case is one that mattifies the skin, makes imperfections less visible and evens out the complexion. The result is soft, smooth-looking skin. Shiny T-zone? Try using the Prime & Fix Refreshing Mist or the Sebo Balance matte-finish wipes for flawless-looking skin in a flash! Face primer for combination skin Combination skin usually has a shiny T-zone (the forehead, nose and chin) and can sometimes look oily. Using a mattifying primer could be the right solution. The skin will appear less shiny and the face will look flawless. An ideal product for this type of skin is the mattifying and perfecting face primer, which, thanks to its light water-based texture, will immediately give your face freshness and a pleasant sensation of hydration without weighing it down.  Face primer for dry skin What primer should I use if I have skin that tends to be dry? You need a product that’s able to moisturise your skin. Try using the Smart Radiance Cream: a moisturiser, primer and highlighter. It’s 3 products in 1!  This product is suitable for every skin tone and it’s ideal to perfectly prep your skin for make-up. Moreover, thanks to the hyaluronic acid, your skin will have immediate and long-lasting hydration.  You can choose the shade that’s best suited to your complexion from among a wide selection, and it is easily applied thanks to the practical brush that comes with it. Face primer for mature skin For mature skin, we recommend a primer that is also moisturising, perhaps with a water-based texture such as the Smoothing and perfecting face primer, with a light and refreshing texture to brighten up your complexion. This will give your skin radiance and a beautiful natural finish, while improving the performance of your make-up.
