Face Primer

Start your makeup routine with a great face primer to help ensure makeup goes on smoothly, helps minimize pores and helps your makeup last all day (and night). Explore our selection of face primers in a variety of formulations from your favorite brands. Apply the primer using a brush, a makeup sponge or your fingers—the choice is yours!

Before you apply the foundation of your choice, be sure to follow your normal skin care routine. Next, use a face primer based on your skin type and to address any skin concerns. Have an oily face? Then use a mattifying gel primer or stick to help control excess oil. Have combination skin? Try a cream formula that helps seal in moisture and control oil at the same time. Dry skin? A hydrating primer in a liquid will work well. We even have many spray primers that can double as a finishing spray, too.

Before you use concealer, you may want to explore our priming correctors first. Aid in the attempt to conceal discoloration, pigmentation, redness and other skin concerns by using a corrector. Each corrector color helps battle different skin concerns. Green helps neutralize redness. Orange or yellow helps minimize the appearance of dark spots and circles. Lavender helps brighten. Be sure to also take your skin tone into consideration when choosing a corrector.
