Using Lip Primers

What is a primer? - Depending on the formula, primers are basically a pre-makeup conditioner for the skin. Specialty primers should prep the area applied to and create a protective base for longer and smoother makeup wear. There are also primers that help 'blur' fine lines and 'fill in' larger pores.

Primers are primarily worn under make up and when done so can provide extra hydration, extra protection, enhance the wear and look of makeup, and even out skin tones.

Our formulas are designed to calm and soothe the skin and help to keep make up where it belongs in a natural way.

Using Loose Powder Primers - Generally used by clients who have combination to oily skin types but very effective for any skin type. Loose powder primers contain oil stopping ingredients that help to keep oily breakthrough in check. Also great for enhancing the wear and look of makeup, and even out skin tones. Should be used primarily under foundation, but can be used lightly throughout the day over foundation if needed. Our primer powders are designed to be applied to freshly cleansed, toned and moisturized skin. We offer several different formulas to choose from.
