The first makeup and the makeup primer are the same thing. They only have one difference and that is the language. Prebase is called in Spanish and in English it is called primer. The rest are exactly the same products with the same purpose.
Basically, they are applied to the face before applying makeup. This is to prepare the skin so that the damage caused by makeup is not so intense. It is responsible for closing the pores and making the skin look smoother and softer. In addition to ensuring a longer makeup.
On the market we can find many types of primer, such as primer in oil, primer in cream, primer in gel. And not to mention their smells and textures. There is certainly one for every skin type. Below we will show you each of them and help you know which one is the most suitable for your skin type.
What is a makeup primer, gel primer or primer and how to apply it?
The first one can also be replaced by a makeup oil, without fear that it will put on oily skin. It’s just a matter of knowing how to look for one that suits our skin type. There are formulas that decrease the production of sebum from the skin of our face.
The face primer can come in different presentations, for example, in gel, cream, liquids, mousse, in oil before makeup, as a make-up primer. Either way our skin achieves its absorption faster.
These products are very easy to apply. It also depends a lot on the type of presentation you have. That is, if it comes in a spray bottle, it should be applied at a minimum distance of 15 centimeters away from your face.
If it is a cream, mousse or gel, these should be applied with light touches all over your face, neck and décolleté. On the other hand, if it comes with a dropper as an applicator, we must make sure that it never comes into contact with our skin, whether we apply it with our fingers or directly on our face.
How To Tell What Skin Type I Have and Types of Primer
To know what type of skin you have, you need to pay close attention on your regular days, and that you don’t have makeup on. In this way, you will be able to notice in which exact places of your face there is more fat accumulation.
If you notice a lot of shine in your T-zone, i.e., the forehead, along with your nose and chin, this means that your skin type is mixed. In other words, the production of sebum in your face is balanced, except in these parts. That’s why your primer for oily skin or primer for oily skin should include a matte effect and have super moisturizing ingredients. One of the best brands for this is Maybelline.
If you regularly feel like your skin is stretching, you suffer from acne, red skin, and rough skin. Without a doubt, you have a dry skin type. Make sure your primer for dry skin is very moisturizing. Combination skin is a mixture of oily skin and dry skin, i.e., in the T-zone it is usually very oily and, in the cheeks, very dry.
We can create a homemade primer for oily skin, we just need a container to store the result, an oil-free moisturizer and loose face powder.
What is the best makeup primer?
Without a doubt, the best primer for us is the one that gives us exactly what our face needs. For this we must be sure of what type of skin we have and know just what it requires.
You also have the option of making your own homemade makeup primer or home primer with just 4 elements which are:
- A container, preferably made of glass, to store our product.
- Eye concealer.
- A good moisturizer.
- A base according to our skin type.
Then, mix everything with an object that is preferably sterilized and after this, package it, close it very well and place it in a cool place without much humidity.
If what we want to make is a homemade eye primer. For this we only need a container, moisturizer, and in addition to this we can add vitamins and glycerin.
