Primer is the crucial product in any makeup look you want to achieve. It helps make your makeup last by holding the product for a long time. It gives a smooth surface to apply other beauty products to your face. But what if you do not have primer sometime? So, what are the best alternatives to a primer?

Best Primer Alternative

Apply Dry Creams 

A basic cream can be used as an alternative to primer. It moisturises your skin, protects the dermis, and makes it ready for future application.

Use BB or CC Cream 

BB (Beauty Balm) or CC (Colour Correcting) creams are multifunctional products and their melting texture helps mask imperfection. These creams perform the function of several products like primers, creams, foundation, etc. So, BB and CC creams can also be used as a primer.

Oil-free Sunscreen 

A non-greasy sunscreen can also be used as a primer as it provides full coverage and a smooth surface. It provides a matte finish to apply other makeup products.

Aloe Vera Gel and Moisturiser

These products are used separately as a primer but their combination can be more effective. Because moisturiser ensures hydration and a smooth surface on the hand, whereas Aloe Vera gel reduces acne and inflammation (if any).
