Primed
In all my years of being a makeup artist, a step that most miss, which also happens to be one of the most important: PRIMER. Yes, it's one more thing to do in your already busy morning, but it's one step that will help your makeup last and look amazing all day.
Primer fills in fine lines and pores, giving you the perfect canvas to put foundation over. On skin alone, it gives the appearance of soft focus to the skin, but primer under your foundation makes skin appear smoother and fine lines appear reduced. It also helps your foundation last longer by giving it something to hold onto. That means having to check the mirror less to see if you need to powder your nose.
Jane Iredale offers three different primers for different skin types, but all doing that same thing. Let’s learn a little more about my personal favorite, Smooth Affair Primer Illuminating Glow:
Smooths and illuminates skin for a glowing canvas for makeup
Visibly reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines
Creates a subtle pearl finish for a glowing, blurred appearance
Hydrates and locks in moisture with Hyaluronic Acid
Wear as standalone skincare or under makeup for more staying power
HOW TO PRIME
Follow these simple steps to apply your primer 10 minutes after your morning skin care routine:
Step 1: Squeeze a pea sized amount to your finger tips.
Step 2: Apply to skin using finger tips like you would serum. Starting in the middle of the face and feathering it out.
Skin should feel silky and not slippery. If you feel like it is slippery, then use your foundation brush to buff into the skin.
Step 3: Follow with foundation.
That's all folks. One easy step that will make your life so much easier and also make your makeup look flawless. Ready to get started with this amazing product, go visit your local Jane Iredale partner.
