Which should I use first, primer or primer?

Most female friends need to apply base makeup before putting on makeup, and the most indispensable parts of base makeup are essence and lotion. But before applying foundation, you must figure out the order of foundation, otherwise it will not be effective. For example, primer and isolation cream are both used after applying essence and lotion, so which of these two cosmetics should be applied first? Let’s find out below.

Which should I use first, primer or primer?

You only need to choose one of the isolation and primer to use, because both isolation and primer are used before makeup. After use, they can make the subsequent base makeup more fit and natural, so generally you only need to choose one of them when using it.

Can I use primer and primer together?

Isolation and primer can be used together, but it is recommended not to use them together. Because both isolation cream and primer are used before makeup, and if the two are used together, isolation cream is generally used first and then primer, so that two layers of things will be applied on the face before foundation. If you use foundation products afterwards, it is very likely to cause rubbing or thick makeup, so it is generally recommended to choose either isolation or primer to use.

The function of primer is to make makeup adhere better, make makeup look more natural, and make skin more delicate; isolation cream is to isolate makeup and prevent makeup from penetrating into the skin and making the skin lose its luster, so primer is used after isolation cream.

The role of primer for primer

The specific effect of the isolation product depends on its ingredients. For example: adding sunscreen ingredients, it becomes sunscreen isolation, emphasizing protection against ultraviolet rays and external damage; adding moisturizing ingredients, it can be called moisturizing isolation, and adding whitening ingredients can be called whitening isolation.

The main function of isolation cream is to isolate air dust and prevent subsequent cosmetics from causing damage to the skin.

The function of primer is to smooth out facial imperfections, shrink pores, and make base makeup more perfect.

How to apply primer

1. First, apply it on the protruding parts of the cheek bones, use the middle finger and ring finger to spread it evenly from the inside to the outside, and pay attention to the gentle movements;

2. Then apply it on the nose wings. You can use a powder puff and apply it by pressing. Note that the amount should be less because the nose is prone to oiliness.

3. Apply to the chin in a circular motion, and also gently rub the extended face with a powder puff;

4. When applying to the eyes, press gently with the middle and ring fingers from the beginning to the end of the eye;

5. Subtle areas such as hairline and corners of mouth are easily overlooked, so press gently with a powder puff.

How to apply primer:

Primer can be applied to all areas of the face, but a better way to use it is to apply it to different areas. The reason for using primer is simply to make your complexion look more even-toned before applying foundation, so it is important to pay attention to the key points when applying primer.

For example, if the T-zone is relatively dark, you need to focus on applying primer there to effectively brighten your skin tone. For another example, the cheek area does not need to be applied with primer. In addition, the nose, jaw and areas prone to spots should also be highlighted.

Tips for applying primer:

The temperature of the palm

Use the temperature of your palms to warm the primer of the same texture so that it can better fit the skin. When dark circles are more serious, special treatment is required. Dip your ring finger in a proper amount of primer, apply it under the eyes, then rub it with your palms to warm it up, and use the warmth of your palms to lightly press the eyes to allow the edges to blend better with the skin.

Mix with liquid foundation

Depending on the different effects of the primer, mixing it with liquid foundation can achieve the desired effect. If some liquid foundation is dry, then add moisturizing primer and mix evenly to create a fitting makeup look. If you add a brightening primer to your foundation, your entire makeup will look extra shiny. If some foundation is too moisturizing, then mixing it with an oil-control primer can prolong the time that the skin produces oil.
