Primer: must have pre-makeup item. As It disguises skin imperfections

Primer is a powerful pre-makeup cream, composed with micro shiny particle, that hide what you want to hide and improve the general appearance of the skin. The Brazilian makeup artist Fabiana Gomes, from MAC, defines the effect of it: "Is the Photoshop of the makeup”.
These bright particles are optical diffusers, reflect light and thus do not show skin blemishes causing an illusion of an even skin tone. 
The result is a smoother skin, looking healthy and natural. The primer also helps reduce visible lines and pores - which, in some women, are very open and obvious. 

How to apply 
Before using, thoroughly clean the skin. Use this product after the moisturizer and before foundation. "It can be applied with the fingers, but with a brush gives a better result, as this will help the product not to dry out early. 

If you still want to use your fingers, be gentle. "The facial skin is thinner, so the touch must be soft so as not to stimulate the oils."And this hint goes especially for the eye region. "In this area, use the ring finger, which is weaker than others." 

Other products like primer 

For lips: its purpose is to let your lips appear smoother and fix your lipstick in order to prevent it draining over your  skin; 

Eyelash: This primer hydrate the lashes, define, gives more volume, curl and make them longer. (Beautiful, everything we need and want!)

For fine lines too??? Yes. For minimize appearance of lines, It`s a cream to be used only on lines that is evident, like the crow feet or the well-known (and hated) "Chinese moustache"; Its more like a concealer. 


I use: Deluxe luminous primer by lR® 

My super Hot Tip: To have a natural and long lasting look, after primer, with a big fluffy brush, tap some mineral foundation (powder version) into its lid for  removing the excess of powder from the brush then buff  onto skin in a circular motion. Then, proceed as usual with your lipstick, mascara and eyebrow pencil. Forget about councealer, liquid foundation, blush, eye shadow bla bla bla.....That is all you need to look naturally beautiful all day long.
