Jan 17, 2022

In beauty products, primer is often ignored, but it plays an important role in all the makeup steps. It can not only cover skin defects for a good modification of the skin state, but also ease the follow-up makeup steps without caking or other embarrassing cases. For dry skin, the most important effect of a primer is "hydrating and moisturizing".

Insufficient oil secretion on dry skin may result in more obvious wrinkles, which will cause caking during makeup and melting afterwards. So, for dry skin, try to avoid light primer, because it can not provide effective hydrating and moisturizing, and won’t reduce caking. Also heavy primer should also be avoided, because it can not be absorbed in a short time, and will be caking when doing makeup. When use primer, generally squeeze it into a soybean size on your forehead, nose and chin, as well as your cheeks, and then gently pat it into absorption. Too much or too little can not effectively create good skin condition for the following makeup.
