Korean makeup primers are formulated with unique ingredients to help your makeup last longer while blurring skin issues. Even though some people think primers aren't necessary before applying your makeup, in reality, they're an essential step of your beauty routine.

What Is The Function Of Korean Primer?

The primary function of Korean primers is to make your skin and makeup look better. When you wear a primer over your skin, it's easier to apply your makeup as it creates a smooth surface. This means that your concealer and foundation will glide effortlessly and last longer. It prevents your face from looking cakey.

Korean face primers are terrific for smoothing out pores, managing oily skin, and preventing excessive shine. There is a Korean primer for your needs, no matter your skin type.

Please note that primers can also light up your skin, diminish wrinkles and fine lines, control acne, and hydrate the skin. Korean face primers can make you look younger without feeling heavy.

There are different types of primers, such as:

• Blurring primer: According to makeup artists, blurring premiers is ideal for mature skin types as they fade ageing signs like fine lines and wrinkles.

• Mattifying primer:This is recommended for those people with oily skin as it will control oil while prolonging your foundation. Besides, mattifying primers can also diminish and smooth out pores.

• Hydrating primer:This is perfect for those with dry skin. Choose one formulated with antioxidants, vitamins, and hyaluronic acid.

How To Apply Korean Makeup Primers

Follow these steps before applying a makeup primer:

1. Clean your skin.

It's best to always apply a makeup primer on clean, moisturised skin. Wait approximately five minutes to allow your moisturiser to penetrate before applying a primer.

2. Apply primer.

Carefully grab a pea-size amount of primer for your entire face and apply it over the skin. Please note that if you use too much primer, it can make your makeup slide.

3. Allow primer to settle.

Finally, make sure to wait at least one minute to allow your primer to set before applying your concealer and foundation.

Korean makeup primers can also be used without makeup to moisturise your skin and blur your pores. That's why primers are miracle beauty products, as they provide your skin with many benefits.
