Primers:
There are several types of Primers in cosmetics I will explain them to you!

Lip primer's main function is Anti-Feathering so unless you have feathering issues you will only need this if you need to keep lip color/gloss on for several hours! It makes your lip products float on your lips! A great primer for all day lip color is a lip stain under your lipstick or lipgloss

Eyeshadow primer's are used to prevent creasing, getting true color from your eyeshadow! We have all used an eyeshadow that has changed in color after it's sits on the skin! Primers help that!
Some use concealer as eyeshadow primer,I use regular eyeshadow primers and mediums.
Mediums are products like MAC Paint Pots, Shadesticks, NYX Jumbo pencils, cream eyeliners these are opaque which means your skin tone and color have no factor in how the shade of your eyeshadow appears this is the best way to get true color

Lash Primers are my favorite they are like mousse for your eyelashes a good lash primer will make any mascara good and you will have the lashes you want fuller thicker lifted longer lash primer is great!

Face primers are used to make your foundation last longer stay out of your pores because foundation should sit on the skin not be melted into pores! If you have oily skin you may find your makeup disappears easily a face primer before foundation will help! If you are going to be outside all day you may want to use a face primer. Are they necessary for all skin types on a daily basis? No
*Tip if you are extremely oily theres a little trick that always works to keep foundation flawless for hours take a colorless setting powder and blend it into your pores before your foundation even better if you use an oil control colorless setting powder!
Explain what primer does
Basically Primer Primes the skin for makeup it gives you a smooth perfect landing for your makeup.

*I also have more detailed information on this subject on www.Talkinmakeup.com Check it out.

  • So just wanted to let you know that I tried that trick you taught with applying powder before foundation... IT WORKS GREAT FOR ME!! thank youuu so much!! I dont have to worry about getting oily.. at least for a longer while :D

  • @ElliePuppet I am so happy it works good for you! & Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know! xoxoxo

  • I have oily skin and i've been using the translucent powder trick for ages and I don't even wear foundation. I used the elf one but it ran out so quickly I turned to rimmel stay matte because it comes with much more product. Unfortunately this powder has more pigment than a translucent powder should and I can sometimes see a powdery finish on my face, any suggestions for a more translucent powder that does the same job as a blotting powder?

  • @narwhal4life MAC Blot powder is nearly colorless! It is available is a loose or compact!

  • can u put the powder you said and then put liquid foundation over?

  • @superkuwaky Yes exactly! Let me know if you try it how you like it? Thank you! xoxoxo

see all

Thank you for so freely offering this to those who want to learn. Have you ever considered offering a makeup seminar for your fans?
