The secret of professional make-up artists
What do primers do?
Primers serve different functions including:
1. Evening out the skin’s tone and texture so that make-up can be applied with a professional and flawless finish.
2. Helping your make-up look fresher for longer by providing a bond for foundation to hold onto.
3. Preventing your skin from absorbing too much of your foundation, so that it “sits” evenly.
4. Absorption of oil to help reduce shine
