The new essential in your makeup kit is a face primer. For those of you who are not aware of the importance of a primer, it’s the new step that is followed by the age-old regime of CTM (Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing). Not only does a primer hold your makeup for a long time, it preps your skin for absorbing makeup, minimises pores and fine lines and acts as a protective layer between your skin and your foundation. Here are three face primers in India that you must try.
If you need to learn how to apply a face primer, here’s our favourite (very simple and easy) Youtube tutorial by BlushBeautyTutor;

#3 Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer
Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer is a light-weight product, good for everyday use. For people with acne-prone skin this primer’s creamy tint covers blotchiness and redness perfectly. It also controls oil and refines skin texture. You need to allow two-three minutes for this product to settle into the skin and it’ll keep your makeup on perfectly for around six hours (on a greasy summer day).
