Why everyone should use a primer

One of the most googled beauty questions is: what is a primer? I understand that, because you have so many products in the world that sometimes you don't know what to do with everything. You probably recognize it if you've ever painted a wall: you use the primer for the paint for a good base, so that the paint sticks better afterwards. The same goes for makeup. Not that you smear the same primer from the wall on your face, of course, but that's where the name comes from.

You mainly need a primer if you use foundation, concealer or powder. You apply it over your day cream and SPF, but under your makeup. Besides the fact that it stays on better, it also protects your skin. Know the benefits and want to know how to use a primer best? Then just press play.
