9X the very best primers

Your skin becomes soft, even, and free of pores and pits. Your makeup stays on the best (so no black mascara streaks, orange powder stains, or the well-known double eyeliner on your eyelid), it is a protective layer against the daily ‘makeup assault’ your face has to deal with, and last but not least, an oily skin is a thing of the past thanks to this hero. Any idea which wonder product I'm talking about? Yes, when you want your foundation, powders, and all other makeup to look great on your face and stay on all day, then a good primer is your best friend. We have gathered the nine very best for you. Here they are:

Benefit is the queen of primers. A bit heavy for an ordinary workday, because: silicones. But when you have a party planned, this is the primer that ensures your makeup stays perfect until the late hours.

The Porefessional, €35,71, Benefit Cosmetics 

A darling of makeup artists: the primer from Chanel. Famous for the subtle glow of light that always and everywhere enhances every face.

Le Blanc de Chanel Primer, €43,81, Chanel

The ideal primer for everyday use is the Angel Veil from NYX. It makes pores and lines disappear and provides a silky soft feel. And for the price, you definitely shouldn't pass it up.

Angel Veil Primer, €16,85, NYX 

The primer from BECCA is known just like the highlighters for the glow it brings to your face. Not only due to the Filtering Luminescent Pearls, but also because of an extra dose of vitamin E, it provides an extra hydrated skin.

A primer that is a good match for every skin type. The soft formula ensures that your pores shrink and leaves your face with a matte finish. No shine for you.

Cheaper but definitely not less good. When you apply this primer to your face, your pores are exchanged for a soft baby skin.
