Makeup that sticks and lasts on the face is indeed a dream. However, not many are willing to go through a series of skincare routines and use various products to create a base makeup that is long-lasting and flawless. One thing that is often overlooked is the use of a suitable primer for the skin. In fact, primer is one of the key points to make the makeup last longer and appear smooth. So, let's find out more about primer.

Primer is a gel or cream that is applied to the face with the aim of filling and disguising fine lines, large pores, and uneven texture. In addition, primer is able to create a smooth surface like a canvas so that the face is ready to be painted with makeup.

"For those of you who have problems with uneven facial texture caused by prominent pores or wrinkles, pro-minimizing primer can be the solution. This special primer is made with a formulation designed to effectively conceal pores and wrinkles, so that the skin appears smooth."

Made from polymer or silicone, this primer has two main functions, which are to "fill in" wrinkles and create a protective layer on the skin. Not only does it provide a smooth and flawless end result, but it also helps to control excess oil and sebum, making it highly suitable for people with oily skin thanks to its special formulation.

Next, namely a primer designed for dry skin types, hydrating primer. This variant is an ideal choice for those of you who have problems with easily dehydrated skin. Moisturizing primers usually come in the form of gel, liquid, or a texture similar to moisturizers.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Color correcting primer is different from the four types of primers mentioned above, because it is useful for providing color on the face and neutralizing uneven skin tone. This primer can be used for all skin types and can be mixed with one of the four primers mentioned earlier."

Usually, this type of primer consists of 3 colors, namely green, purple, and orange. Each of these primary colors can be used to address different skin problems: Green color to cover red acne, Orange color to cover dark under-eye area, Purple color is used to make the skin appear brighter.

With oily facial conditions, makeup often becomes easily smudged and not long-lasting. In addition, choosing a primer for oily skin is also a separate challenge. Moreover, if using too much makeup until it layers, then the oily face will feel heavy and greasy. Makeup also has the potential to clog pores, causing the appearance of blackheads and acne.

One of the best choices for oily skin is a mattifying primer, because its contents can help reduce oil on the face. It is also necessary to use a primer that provides a matte finish to be free from the appearance of shiny oil throughout the day. Additionally, it is advisable to choose a primer product for oily skin that has the ability to conceal the appearance of large pores. Apply the primer after moisturizing the face, especially if you tend to be active outdoors or sweat frequently.
