vHere's why you should be adding primer to your beauty routine:
Primer is a product that is applied before foundation or other makeup products to create a smooth base for makeup application. It is designed to prepare the skin, enhance the longevity of makeup, and provide a variety of additional benefits.
Here's an explanation how primer is beneficial to your beauty routine:
1. Smoothing and blurring: Primers often have a silky or velvety texture that fills in fine lines, pores, and uneven skin texture. It creates a smooth canvas, minimizing the appearance of imperfections and providing a more even skin surface for makeup application.
2. Extending makeup wear: Primer helps to increase the longevity of makeup by creating a barrier between the skin and makeup products. It can prevent the foundation, concealer, or other makeup products from breaking down, fading, or becoming patchy throughout the day.
3. Enhancing makeup application: By providing a smooth base, primer allows foundation, concealer, eyeshadows, and other makeup products to glide on more effortlessly. This results in easier and more even application, making it easier to achieve a flawless finish.
4. Oil control and mattifying: Some primers are specifically formulated to control excess oil on the skin, helping to minimize shine and extend the wear time of makeup, especially for those with oily skin types.
5. Hydration and nourishment: Certain primers contain moisturizing ingredients that help to hydrate the skin, ensuring a smoother makeup application and preventing dry patches. These primers can be beneficial for individuals with dry or combination skin.
6. Color correction: Primers can also have color-correcting properties, designed to address specific skin concerns. For instance, green-tinted primers can help neutralize redness, while lavender-toned ones can brighten sallow or dull skin.
Overall, a primer acts as a preparatory step in makeup application, creating a smooth, even, and long-lasting base for subsequent makeup products. It helps to improve the overall finish of makeup and enhances its durability throughout the day.

MK Eye Primer
MK Eye Primer is a waterproof formula that glides on smoothly to extend the wear of eye color and prevent it from creasing and smudging.
Suitable for sensitive skin.
Fragrance-free.
Ophthalmologist-tested.

How It Works
Oils and moisture from the skin and from certain products can cause eye color to collect in the crease of the eyelid and smudge and fade.
Priming the surface of the eyelid creates a base for the eye colors, increasing their opacity and reducing their ability to move to the crease of the lid or smudge.

Apply a small amount to the eyelid prior to applying eye color. Blend gently using your fingertip.
