Using a great primer, for example the Veil Sunset Light Primer, is the perfect way to build the foundation of your post skin care makeup routine and increase the overall quality of your finished makeup look. Regardless of whatever product you may use, starting your makeup look with a primer is going to be a good option for you to pursue. Primer is essentially the base layer which separates your naked (or skin-cared/moisturized skin) from the products that you are about to put on your face. The advantage to using a primer is that the products you use for your makeup routine, regardless of their weight or ingredients, are separated from your skin by a blank layer of primer, which you may think of as sort of like a canvas. On top of this layer of canvas, you can apply your look without worrying about the direct interaction between the products and your skin. Primer is not necessarily always a requirement for a look, and there are certainly ways to build looks safely without primer. Pairing your favorite primer with a multi use concealer can also be an effective way to build a look.
In general, primers are a tool that will help boost the look of the final result, and help you reach your ideal ‘look.’
If you need help using primer, then you are not alone! It might definitely be in your best interest to check out YouTube or other guru tutorials on applying and getting the most out of your primer when you are putting on your full face of makeup.
Choose a Versatile, Buildable Concealer and Work Your Way Up Subtly to the Perfect Weight of Product on Your Face
With the help of a buildable concealer, rather than a falsely-advertised, so-called “full coverage concealer,” can help you get the perfect amount of product on your face and avoid burying your natural beauty under a concealer which is too thick. When applying makeup, it is almost always a good idea to start with a few thin, light layers, and if the effect is not suitable or what you want you can work up all the way to a consistency which will work for you. This control is very key, because the thing you don’t want to have happen is having a face that is too heavy on the makeup, in a way that might be unflattering to you and unfair to the natural beauty of your face. Experimenting with different thicknesses in different areas may also be helpful, as you might be able to use this technique to contour or highlight.
Highlighter, contour-maker, and corrector: these are some of the different ways a concealer with buildable properties can perform versatile roles in your makeup roster.
If you want to feel great about your makeup purchases, one of the simplest ways to do so is to buy products that are versatile and capable of having multiple uses. For example, getting a multi use concealer from your preferred vendor can be a great investment that turns out dividends for you long down the road. Starting from the primer and ending with the finishing touches of your concealer, make sure that your cabinet is stocked with the essentials this summer, and have a blast!
