Primer

Skin primers are the best thing you can have in your skincare kit if you want to have a smooth base for makeup; they’re like the base coat of your routine - reducing wrinkles, fine lines and pores to create a supple and soft base. Our range of primers smooth out imperfections and fill in lines, creating the perfect base to apply makeup.

To apply skin primer properly, follow these simple steps: 

• Cleanse gently - Ensure your face is cleansed and clean of all makeup and oils with one of our natural cleansers. Follow with your normal skincare routine. 
• Moisturise - Apply a moisturiser catered to your skin type - whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, our range of moisturisers can lock in hydration and prepare your skin for primer.
• Apply your skin primer - After leaving your moisturiser to soak into the skin for 1-2 minutes, you can then go in by applying your face primer. Use gentle, circular motions to blend it outwards and upwards.
• Get ready for makeup - Make sure you leave your skin primer to completely dry before applying the makeup - this should only take a few minutes - and will leave your skin in a much better condition to smoothly apply makeup. 

Yes - as a rule, skin primer should be the last thing you apply to your face before makeup. This is because primer smooths out the skin and locks in moisture, creating a perfect canvas to apply makeup onto. To use skin primer in the best way, apply any moisturisers or serums beforehand.

While most people use skin primers to prepare their face for makeup, as primers smooth out the skin, many people also use primers even if they don’t plan on wearing makeup. Our primers blur imperfections -  filling in fine lines, pores, and texture - as well as neutralising redness and dark circles. They can also be used as a lighter alternative to face makeup. 

Choosing the best skincare primer for your skin is essential if you want to get the best results. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got dry, oily, or combination skin - we have a range of luxury skin primers specially formulated for your skin type.

Skin primers, as well as smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, often have colour correction elements that help to neutralise redness and dark circles. Combining eye cream, moisturiser and pro-collagen primer before makeup can significantly reduce the appearance of dark circles on the skin, helping you perfect any makeup look!

If you’ve never tried skin primers before, our range of high SPF and pro-collagen primers are easy to use. Simply apply after washing and moisturising your face, and allow it to dry properly before starting your makeup routine. However, if you want to know which skin primer is best for your skin type, make sure to take our skin type analysis - we can help you choose the best option no matter whether you have combination, dry, or oily skin.

Mature skin tends to benefit the most from using skin primers, as it treats a lot of problems that may start to appear as we age. Skin primers are designed to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, filling them in to provide a great base for makeup. If you’re looking for a great choice for mature skin, our pro-collagen primers work to build elasticity, and fill in wrinkles.

As a rule, skin primer should be the last thing you apply in your skincare routine before makeup. This is because a primer locks in moisturiser and fills in any lines, creating a matte base for makeup - anything applied after the primer could disturb the base. So make sure you apply every step in your skincare routine before the primer!
