Whether or not you should use primer depends on the specific task you are undertaking. In general, a primer is a type of preparatory coating you apply to your face. Its main purpose is to create a smooth base for makeup application and to help it last longer.

Primer Serves Several Important Functions Such as.

Controls Excess Sebum 

Most primers consist of silicone, which prevents the mixing of oil and sweat in your makeup and helps your makeup stay longer. Primer has the mattifying properties, which soak the excess oil and give your makeup a mattifying finish.

Smoother Application 

A primer can help fill in fine lines, pores and other skin imperfection, creating a smoother surface for your makeup to glide on. This gives you a flawless finish and makes your makeup application easier.

Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Some primers contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid or peptides that can help plump up the skin, lessening fine lines and wrinkles on your face.

Even Skin Tone

Certain types of primer, like colour-correcting primer, can help even out your skin tone and reduce redness, discolouration, or dullness.

While not always necessary, using a primer can help ensure a smoother, more even, and long-lasting finish. It’s always a good idea to consult healthcare professionals regarding the instructions of the product you’re using.
