In which step should liquid foundation be used?

Use after primer

Primer can be used to isolate makeup and protect our skin. Applying primer can first build a barrier for the skin, reduce the damage of cosmetics to the skin, and avoid irritation. Therefore, you must apply primer before applying liquid foundation.

Use after sun protection

Sun protection is essential for our daily life. Many primers and foundations have sun protection effects, but they are not as effective as special sunscreens. But if you go outdoors, you still need to wear sunscreen. The correct order is to apply sunscreen first and then foundation.

Use before and after makeup

Primer is the lotion used before applying makeup. Using primer before applying makeup can provide good moisturizing for the skin, which is equivalent to a skin care, making the skin condition better and making the foundation more adherent when used.
