Hydrate primer is used to create a smooth, moisturized base for your makeup, preventing foundation from caking or clinging to dry patches.
Here's how to use hydrate primer effectively:
- Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean and moisturized face. A hydrating primer works best when applied after your regular skincare routine (cleanser, serum, and moisturizer). Let your moisturizer fully absorb before applying the primer.
- Apply a Small Amount: Dispense a pea-sized amount of hydrating primer onto your fingertips. You don't need a lot; less is often more.
- Evenly Distribute: Gently spread the primer over your face, focusing on areas prone to dryness, such as the cheeks, forehead, and around the nose. You can use your fingertips or a makeup brush.
- Smooth and Blend: Smooth the primer into your skin using gentle, circular motions. Ensure it's evenly distributed and blended well.
- Wait Before Applying Foundation: Allow the primer to sit on your skin for a minute or two before applying your foundation. This allows the primer to properly absorb and create a smooth canvas.
- Apply Foundation: Apply your favorite foundation as usual. You should notice that it applies more smoothly and evenly, without settling into fine lines or dry patches.
