Primer Isn’t a Scam — It’s Your Skin’s Insurance Policy

Hey, Glaminai here — primer isn’t about adding another layer; it’s about controlling how makeup grips your skin. When matched right, it can double your wear time and halve your touch-ups.

🩵 The Myth

“Primer just clogs pores.”
Nope. The right primer acts like skincare’s best friend — it shields skin from pigment, seals hydration, and smooths texture.

Think of it as the invisible barrier that keeps foundation on your skin, not in your pores.

🔍 Why Prep Matters

Your foundation lasts when your base is balanced — not dry, not slick. Primer bridges the gap between skincare and makeup, keeping the canvas even and breathable.

⚡ Quick Fix: Find Your Perfect Match

🧴 How to Apply Like a Pro

• Use a pea-sized amount — more product = more slip.

• Apply after moisturizer and let it sit for 30–60 seconds to “grip.”

• If you use multiple primers (e.g., matte for T-zone, hydrating for cheeks), layer thinly, not side-by-side.

🚫 Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Mixing incompatible bases — water-based foundation + silicone primer = separation.

• ❌ Skipping primer for long-wear foundation — it’ll cling to dry spots or slide off oily zones.

• ❌ Applying too much — it kills grip and causes pilling.

💬 Ask Glaminai

Let’s skip the trial and error. I’ll help you find:

• Primers that complement your foundation’s base type (water, oil, or silicone)

• Formulas with added skincare benefits (niacinamide, peptides, or squalane)

• Budget and luxury options side-by-side

Because your primer shouldn’t just make makeup last — it should make skin look better bare.
