5 Ways Makeup Primer Makes You Look Great

We’ve all heard of makeup primer, whether it was on TV, from a friend, or simply seen at the store. But why should a girl actually want to spend the money to purchase a primer?

Well, ladies, I have to tell you: primer is going to be your next best friend and a MUST in your makeup routine after trying it just one time. It’s like a miracle worker that just keeps on giving.

# Smoother Skin

One thing every woman can agree on is this: smoother skin is ALWAYS a bonus! We’re always striving for the smoothest, softest skin possible; well, by using a primer you can instantly enjoy the benefit of overly smooth skin that feels sensational to the touch. Such a simple fix for skin that may be a little bit dry- which of course can make your makeup look a little bit ‘cakey’ and unpleasant.

# Hides Acne

The great thing about using a primer before applying your foundation is, primer instantly reduces the visibility of acne, hiding your acne as if it never existed. That’s a huge plus for women of any age, but especially younger girls and teenagers who are constantly finding themselves in an uphill battle against breakouts

# Hides Redness

Acne can definitely cause some excess redness on the face; but even if you have acne or not, some women still struggle with redness of the face. The awesome thing about primer is it reduces redness the moment it is applied, which means you can enjoy a red-free face with just a dab of primer.

# Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Whether you’re younger and have a slight onset of fine lines and wrinkles or are a tad bit older struggling with the same issue to a larger extent, you’re probably somewhat upset; I mean, yes, fine lines and wrinkles are just things that happen to us over time, but why should we be so worried about them?

# Easy to Use

Some makeup products require SO much time and effort. It can be a serious pain in the butt when you’re not sure exactly how to use it or apply it for the best results.

Another great thing about using a makeup primer is you don’t have to worry about any strenuous application procedures whatsoever. It is as easy as dabbing a little bit of primer on your fingers and applying it to your face, as if you would your favorite moisturizer.
