A primer is used to create a smooth surface on the face before adding makeup. It can also be used just on its own, to create the appearance of a smooth surface. This makeup product helps to reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines, and other blemishes and it can help to even out skin tone

It’s important to make sure you reap all the amazing benefits of a primer by using it the right way. If you’re unhappy about how your foundation looks even after applying this product. you’re probably guilty of making some common primer mistakes listed below.

1. Using the  wrong primer

Using the wrong primer will make a negative effect on your makeup finish. While buying a primer, take your skin type and needs into consideration. If you have oily skin, choose one that has a smooth gel texture and hides imperfections, pores and gives a matte finish. If you have dry skin, a moisturising primer will do the magic.

2. Applying foundation immediately after the primer
