ARE YOU FOREVER SEEKING THAT FLAWLESS FINISH FOR YOUR MAKEUP THAT ONLY SEEMS TO EXIST ON INSTAGRAM? OR LOOKING FOR WAYS TO MAKE YOUR MAKEUP LAST LONGER?
We’re here to tell you that this isn’t just the stuff of dreams – we mere mortals can also achieve silky smooth makeup that stays on all day without slipping, fading, or creasing. How? With the helping hand of a hydrating primer!
So what exactly is a primer? And when should you apply it? A primer is a base cream that should be the first step you take before applying your makeup. Use it after your daily cleanser and moisturiser but before your foundation and concealer for photo-ready makeup.
We asked the beauty experts at DB Cosmetics to tell us more about the tons of benefits we might be missing out on, and their top 3 reasons why you should add a makeup primer to your makeup routine.
#1: Primer helps your makeup last all-day
The number one reason to introduce a makeup primer into your daily makeup routine is for the poreless canvas it creates on your skin. It will create an even base for your face makeup, helping you to apply even foundation and give you a balanced application for all of your face makeup. All of this will also mean you get a long-lasting finish with less reapplications needed throughout the day. Winning!
#2: Primer helps mature skin look great
Not only does makeup primer create a smooth base for your foundation, it can also even out your skin tone, minimising the appearance of pores, blemishes and reducing the appearance of pigmentation. Where foundation can sometimes cake into our fine lines and wrinkles, a makeup primer will reduce the appearance of them, giving you a brighter and more youthful complexion. For added benefits, choose an anti-ageing primer made with ingredients that have anti-ageing properties such as Q10 and Peptide.
#3: Primer helps your skin stay hydrated
Hydration is the key to keeping your makeup look fresh and even throughout the day. A makeup primer will give you that much-needed added layer of hydration underneath your makeup so that your skin doesn’t become dry throughout the day helping you keep that flawless look from day to night. Look for hydrating primers made with nourishing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid.
PRIMER Q&A’S
What’s the best makeup primer for my skin type?
Now we know what the benefits are to using a primer, let’s find the best one for you and your skin. DB Cosmetics offers a range of amazing primers that can support a range of skin types and skin concerns, giving you the best results that will leave your skin glowing all day long.
The best primer for dry skin
If you have dry skin or you’re looking to create a dewy makeup look, a moisturising, hydrating primer like the Skin Quencher Primer + Moisturiser will be perfect for you.

This moisturising primer will maximise your skincare routine as it brightens your complexion and locks in moisture all day long.
The best primer for pigmentation or blemishes
Blemishes or pigmented areas can sometimes be tricky to disguise with foundation alone. A primer like the Blur Primer is formulated with specific ingredients to help blur imperfections, reduce shine and keep your skin looking fresh. Ingredients such as Q10, Vitamins A, C and E, Green Tea and Aloe Vera Extract work together to help soothe and firm the skin, leaving it with a soft and velvety finish.

The best primer for mature skin
As we age, our skin can benefit from products that help to firm and smooth, allowing for even and long-lasting makeup application. An anti-ageing primer like the Gold Elixir Priming Potion is the best primer for ageing skin. Made with ingredients like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Q10, Aloe Vera and Green Tea it will give your skin an instant lift and boost of radiance and a flawless finish, every time.
