All kinds of primers and concealers are useful, but they still can’t save your large pores and sallow skin. Do you know what primer is? What are the recommended brands of primer?

What is primer

Primer (or retouching primer, some products have SPF value): It is a product that helps the skin tone of base makeup to be more perfect and adds an extra step. It can modify dull, yellowish or reddish skin tone. For example, purple can remove yellow, green can remove red, and the one with subtle pearlescent effect can brighten the skin. Once you've adjusted your skin tone to the correct one, you can even reduce the amount of foundation. Whether or not you need a primer depends on your skin type and your makeup needs.

What are the recommended brands of primer?

1. ADDICTION Water-Permeable Primer, 30g/NTD1,300.

This is a very suitable product to be used before makeup. It has no special finishing touches, but the glossy and moisturizing effects are very good. It is especially suitable for oily skin that just wants to be hydrated. Generally, primers contain a certain amount of oil, but this one is completely light and watery, with no exaggerated fragrance and not too oily, and it can help subsequent makeup to adhere smoothly. It is highly recommended for oily skin with large pores or acne skin.

2. SHISEIDO Star Light Control Primer, 25g/NTD850.

The most suitable ingredients for oily skin in Star Charm Light Control Primer are moisture-sensing gel and oil-control powder. The moisture-sensing gel absorbs excess oil and helps moisturize the skin, while the oil-control powder maintains the skin's refreshing, comfortable, smooth and delicate texture. This primer can help base makeup adhere to the skin for a long time and last for a long time without coming off. It is especially recommended for skin with large pores and oily face.

3. Giorgio Armani Highly Effective Protective Primer Purple, 30g/NTD1,950.

This purple, highly effective protective primer has a brightening effect better than skin tone, and can be used to correct skin tone if you have sallow skin. It is also very suitable for primer and isolation before makeup. It is not greasy and helps makeup stay on without worrying about powder floating or makeup coming off. The size of the packaging is just right for putting in a makeup bag and it doesn’t take up space. This one is also recommended by teacher Vincent.

4. SHISEIDO Whitening Primer, 30g/NTD1,100.

This product contains slightly luminous pearlescent powder. People with sallow skin are most afraid of their skin looking dull, so the most important thing is to make the skin look better and more translucent through foundation. Although it cannot achieve the effect of instant whitening, it can make the skin texture better.

5. SUQQU Crystal Light Primer, 25g/NTD2,300.

SUQQU is a brand that pays great attention to details. This primer is specially designed to improve large pores. It contains witch hazel essence and plant extract formula. The most special thing is that it has a powder that solidifies when oil is produced, which can effectively prevent the problem of oily makeup coming off.

6. Benefit Pore-Clearing Invisible Lotion, 22g/NTD1,300.

This bottle of primer is said to be a favorite of many bridal secretaries because it helps the bride's makeup stay smooth throughout the day. It has the dual effects of physically filling pores and optically brightening pores, modifying uneven skin and making it as smooth as a marble floor. It can also absorb the oil on the face and make pores less noticeable.

This is the introduction to the brands of primer. I hope it will be helpful to you.
