Whether you have oily skin, open pores, or you simply want your foundation to stand firm against Singapore’s weather, we have a secret weapon for you – a pore-minimizing primer. But how do you know what’s the best primer for oily skin? Or what exactly does a primer do? Or is there any secret strategy to find the best primer for your skin? This blog breaks down everything you need to know.

Primer 101: What Is It and Why Do You Need One?

Before you put on your makeup, you need a smooth base to make everything look flawless and put-together. Primer does that job for you. It acts as an undercoat that lets the foundation glide smoothly, last longer, and give that perfect makeup look. Depending on your skin type or condition, you can pick a primer to hydrate skin, control oil, reduce pores on the face, or even color-correct uneven skin tone.

5 Steps to Picking the Right Pore-Minimizing Primer for You

Step 1: Know Your Skin Type

Before you make a choice, assess your skin type and choose accordingly. Is your skin oily, dry, sensitive, or combination?

  • For oily skin, pick a mattifying primer.
  • For dry skin, go for something hydrating.
  • For combination skin, consider a balancing formula.
  • For sensitive skin, go for a product containing gentle ingredients.

Step 2: Choose the Formula with Pore-Refining Ingredients

A good pore primer should contain the ingredients to smooth and blur the appearance of pores. Some of such ingredients you should look for are:

  • Silicones are known to create a velvety look to fill in the fine lines and pores and provide a long-lasting base for makeup
  • Salicylic Acid helps unclog pores and prevent breakouts
  • Niacinamide works to calm inflammation and control oil

Step 3: Be Clear About the Desired Outcomes

Different primers provide different looks, so be clear about the look you want. Some of the common outcomes you can expect are:

Velvety Finish: Has a velvety texture to leave a natural, smooth, and soft look

Matte Finish: Controls oil and keeps the makeup intact, non-shiny, and non-greasy for a long time

Dewy Finish: Provides a hydrating effect to leave the skin glowy and radiant

Step 04: Pick A Primer that Suits Your Makeup Goals

Your primer should complement your makeup goals. For a full-coverage foundation, look for a primer that holds onto the extra products without feeling heavy. For a daily, natural look, search for a lightweight primer that smooths out your skin.

Step 5: Check Reviews and Test Samples

Trial and error is sometimes the best strategy to find the most suitable product for your skin type. Search the internet to see what others with similar skin concerns have to share. Check for samples or testers to be sure how well the product goes with your skin.
