 Prime Time: What a primer is, why you need one and which ones actually work
Upon spotting bottle after bottle of primer lining the counter in my bathroom my husband commented that it looked like I was getting ready to start a remodeling project. Little did he know.
The fact is, that's exactly what a good makeup primer does, by serving up a smooth line-free canvas to apply foundation, shadow, blush and beyond, primer can act as the ultimate basis for remodeling of the daily kind.
Makeup primers traditionally call upon ingredients such as polymers and silicones that can smooth fine lines and imperfections temporarily (and by that I mean all day), as well as increasing the longevity of your
makeup products so that they too can stick around all day.
This week, I've rounded up a few of my favorite primers - all tested by me, of course.
