FAQs

What is primer makeup?

Creating an extra layer between your skin and makeup, face primers are used to plump fine lines, blur impurities and blemishes, smooth skin, and help makeup last all day without caking, creasing or the need for constant touch-ups. Depending on your skin concerns, you can choose from an illuminating primer, a mattifying primer, a pore-minimising primer or a colour-correcting makeup primer.

Can I use primer without makeup?

Absolutely! For no-makeup days, applying a primer is one of the easiest ways to conceal imperfections, colour correct, mattify the skin and combat shine and oiliness. You can apply your face primer after your daily serums and moisturiser.
