Primers have changed my life. They really make all the difference in how your makeup looks and the lasting power. I use this one. Best I've used.

Primer creates a canvass for makeup, minimises pores and helps makeup last longer, creating a barrier so makeup doesn't react too much with the oils of your skin.
