Through a spray, cream or gel, we create a film between our skin and the makeup with which we first manage to make a barrier and protect it, and secondly we will make our make up imperturbable and of course it is more beautiful. Without further ado, we will create the perfect canvas in one step. Hydrate, illuminate, mattify, close pores or reduce redness … Of eyes, face, lips, eyelashes … The first world is complex and powerful, so the sooner you become familiar with it, the better!

Tight pores, please

It is one of the biggest concerns when we put on makeup, that our pores are marked, and what is worse that they fill up with makeup base and get dirty. And it is that this considerably increases the possibility that we get pimples and that our skin seems asphyxiated and without light. For this, this type of primer, like Catrice's, is perfect. A cream that almost melts between the fingers and leaves the skin soft, silky and with the pores blurred. And it is worth just over 5 euros.

These textures are so rich and tasty … NYX Bare With Me Gel Primer is one of our favorites, a primer that hydrates, tightens pores, refreshes and brightens the face. It has a water base and this makes the expression lines 'fill' with that extra important hydration, making the makeup look flawless and very 'flawless'. For a reason, it is one of Ratolina's little loves this month.

The Ordinary is one of the reference firms in facial care and most of its products are more than recommended. We love this primer for its texture, like that of the serum that we use in our day and night treatment. Very fluid, does not generate grease, controls shine and makes the makeup look more natural, and above all it is immovable.

Another trick of makeup artists that we could easily do at home and that we ignore. An eyelash primer that will not only make your eyelashes healthier but will also make the result after applying the mascara be of greater volume and length. This is from Maybelline and it is really well priced, but there are options in almost all brands from the highest-end to the 'low cost'. We have also found another lash primer that works super well.
