The secret to a great makeup look is skin prep. I always passed it off as an extra step, one I didn’t have the time for until I uncovered its potential. Whether you veer towards minimal glamm or a full-blown beat face, primer is the glue that holds your look together. Especially on days when icy temperatures and cold air rob the moisture from your skin, a primer can make a huge difference to your makeup. So if your skin isn’t hitting Hailey Bieber or Alia Bhatt’s level of glow, you know what’s missing in your routine.
The Best Primers You Can Choose From
This Way For A Glowing Complexion
If your skin isn’t resembling a glazed doughnut at the end of your skincare routine, are you even dewing it right? The Manish Malhotra Luminous Moisturising Primer will give you a glazed glow faster than you can type #glazed. With a deliciously creamy texture, this primer soothes and smooths uneven skin tone and texture, which makes it worthy of your “restock list.”
The Cult-Fave Glow Giver
Just like the brand’s iconic setting spray, the M.A.C Cosmetics strobe cream packs a punch. It makes my skin look and feel ahh-mazing! I use it after my moisturiser and before my foundation for that lit-from-within glow. If you’re not into XXL glow, use it sparingly on the high points of your face.
IG Filter In A Jar
This all-star face primer goes above and beyond. It delivers a radiant glow while also enveloping my skin in the goodness of Vitamin E. It has a rich, creamy texture that sinks right into your skin creating the perfect canvas for makeup. Seriously, try this out and no one will be sayin’ anything other than, “Wow! Your skin looks amazing!”
Glass Skin On The Go
If there’s ever a hall of fame for the best plumping primers, this one belongs in it. If you want a glow that even J.Lo would envy, this primer is right up your alley. Boasting powerhouse ingredients like vitamin C and rice extracts, this primer also offers a myriad of skincare benefits.
Just Dew It!
Instagram-famous and just as effective as some of its luxe counterparts. This holy-grail illuminating primer takes my skin from dull to dewy in a matter of seconds. The magical stuff also works to minimise the appearance of pores and fine lines to give a picture-perfect base.
