MAKEUP PRIMER

Hey people!
We are almost in the 3rd quarter of this year and I have missed being here, so welcome to my latest blog post. I stopped making new year resolutions a long time ago, but this year was different. I made a new year resolution and its quite simple, this year i intend to travel more, learn new courses more and be a better person. The second resolution became feasible when i discovered   Dealdey Nigeria . This site offers massive discounts on several courses, products and services and the best part is most of the good deals are online! You can check them out and see what you would like because there is always something for anyone.
Enough of my ranting, now to today's post, Makeup Primers! Primers can make a huge difference to your everyday makeup and this is a must if you have oily skin and live in a tropical zone like me. The sun is never friendly even during the rainy season. Strange as it may sound, some people do not know what a makeup primer is while some others who know may have heard of it know it's use. I for one didn't know about the importance of Makeup Primers until I went for my Professional Makeup Training.
What is a Makeup Primer?
Makeup primers are lotions, creams or gel applied before makeup application used to control shine, improve coverage and make makeup last longer. Makeup Primer can also be referred to as a Base because it is used after a cleansing to prepare the face for makeup application. Some primers can do more by moisturising the skin for people with dry skin,  reducing pore size for people with oily and sensitive skin and with continuous use, a visible difference in the pore size can be  evident.
Types of primers
There are various types of Makeup Primers available and besides performing the basic function of controlling shine, they also serve other purposes. Makeup Primers available include Silicon-based  primer, Tinted moisturising primer, Oil-free mattifying primer and  Moisturizing oil control primer.
I for one prefer using a Silicone-based Makeup Primer because I notice a difference in my skin pore size when I do.
Importance of Makeup Primers
> They help your makeup last longer
> It creates a perfect canvas for flawless makeup application
> It acts as a protective coverage/base
To do this post justice, I will update with a sequel on the types of Makeup Primers for the various skin types. Feel free to drop your comments or questions.
