Smooth and flawless skin that is clear of blemishes and shine? Yes, please. We all know about the powers of a good moisturiser, but if there’s one product that is overlooked in our beauty routines it’s a primer. A good primer can make all the difference to our skin, from providing a boost of moisture to minimising pores or banishing redness and shine, making sure our skin is the perfect blank canvas before we apply the rest of our makeup. And with a whole host of brilliant new formulations available, we’ve rounded up our 5 of our favourite primers on the market, now is the perfect time to invest in this first step to better-looking skin.
