The difference between isolation and primer

People need to apply primer before putting on makeup. So there are two things: isolation and primer. However, many people do not understand these two things, and they just apply makeup based on their feelings. In fact, this is wrong. There is still a big difference between isolation and primer, and the two need to be applied in a clear order. So what is the specific difference between isolation and primer? Today I will introduce it to you.

Isolation cream has always been a controversial product. Some people think that primer is a kind of isolation, or that isolation is just a primer and only needs to be applied. Some even think that an isolation cream can neither protect against the sun nor moisturize the skin, and is useless at all. Let’s talk about the difference between primer and isolation cream. The purpose of primer is to fill the pores on the face, make the skin smoother and smoother, make the makeup more adherent, and not prone to peeling and powder floating. To put it simply, primer is mainly used to conceal blemishes and set makeup, such as modifying pores, smoothing skin, evens out skin tone, corrects skin tone, and provides long-term oil control.

Isolation is an important step in protecting the skin with makeup. Using isolation cream before makeup is to provide the skin with a clean and gentle environment, isolating the ultraviolet rays and dirty air that harm the human body, and forming a "front line" of defense against external invasion. Isolation is mainly to isolate dust and adjust skin color.

If you don’t usually wear makeup, you can use sunscreen directly; if you wear makeup, you can skip the primer and use isolation cream directly if your skin is not that good; but if your skin is not that good, you need to use primer and isolation. Using primer can make the base makeup fit better. Just be sure to choose an effective primer based on your skin to make your base makeup more perfect.

First of all, one thing is certain: isolation cream, BB cream and primer are definitely not the same thing. And they are three essential items for makeup.

Next, I will briefly introduce a few items you need to prepare before putting on makeup. Primer is one of them.

You need to use facial cleanser to wash away dirt before putting on makeup. Then apply toner and primer in turn.

Students who have the conditions can avoid staying up late and eating spicy food a few days before putting on makeup. Drink more water and apply a facial mask.

After preparing your makeup.

Because I used facial cleanser before, the skin barrier is thinner, if I apply makeup directly. Cosmetics are made of chemicals and are bound to damage the skin. Therefore, you need to use a primer to do basic isolation, protect the skin, and at the same time even out skin tone and protect against the sun.

Sealants only have isolation functions, and some also have sun protection functions. It cannot replace the effect of BB cream in brightening skin tone and concealing blemishes.

Therefore, after applying the primer, we can choose to apply BB cream to brighten the skin.

Likewise, you can replace bb cream with other items. Such as CC cream, liquid foundation and so on.
