There are now makeup primer products available that purport to do miracles. They’re meant to help plump out fine wrinkles and double up as a moisturizer. They can also prevent makeup from settling into the fine lines, and provide a healthy glow to mature skin. Below are some of the top-selling primers to try.
NARS & Valentino
First up is the NARS Light Reflecting Hydrating Primer. Since it contains hyaluronic acid, peptides, and squalane, it’s very moisturizing and even has a cooling effect.
The Valentino V-Lighter Illuminating Face Primer and Highlighter With Hyaluronic Acid may have a name that’s a mouthful, but it’s great for people who are 45 years old and over. It can help to hydrate mature skin. It helps any foundation come on more smoothly. All that is needed is some highlight on the cheekbones, and you are ready to face the world with confidence.
The Ordinary & MAC
The Ordinary High-Adherence Silicone Primer is a great low-cost option. It’s mattifying, so you won’t want to use it everywhere, but it’s really helpful in oily areas and is very grippy.
The MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Primer is the creme de la creme of primers specifically formulated for mature skin. It is available in different tones that will match any type of skin color. Unlike some primers that feel heavy, this one doesn’t. Anyone looking for a primer that feels like it’s not there, this is the one for you.
Tatcha
Last but not least is the Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas: Featherweight Protective Primer. This product lives up to its name as it glides smoothly over the skin. It is infused with pink and gold pearls that will add luster to dull skin, providing a subtle shimmer. It skims over fine lines so they are less noticeable.
A primer is a great product for those with mature skin to incorporate into their makeup routine for extra moisture and better foundation application. These five are just many of the great options out there.
