How to Prep Your Face Before Makeup

Makeup primers are designed to act as the base that makes your makeup last throughout the day. While there are primers for your eyeshadow, lashes, and lipstick, skin primers address the specific concerns your face may have to create a smooth canvas for your foundation or makeup base. With countless primer variants out in the market today, finding one that’s right for your skin type is key. Here are three effective skin primers from fave K-Beauty brand, Banila Co that can help you out.

Oily Skin

A mattifying primer is ideal for those who need extra help keeping sebum and shine at bay. This type of primer also tends to have a pore-filling effect to improve the look and wear of your makeup. Try the Banila Co Instant Fix Prime Primer Matte to keep you from unnecessary blotting throughout the day.

Dry Skin

For those with dry skin, a hydrating primer is the way to go. It can smoothen out flaky skin and seal in the skin’s natural moisture. The moisturizing effect offers a radiant glow without the heavy feel. A K-Beauty favorite is Banila Co’s Instant Fix Prime Primer Hydrating for a dewy finish.

Combination Skin

If you have a combination of oily and dry skin, finding the right primer may require extra effort. You’ll need to seek a magic blend that will give the right amount of hydration to avoid looking like an oil slick. Luckily, The Banila Co Prime Primer Classic does the trick in a jiffy!
