What is eyeshadow primer?
Eyeshadow primer is a primer for the skin around the eyes. Its main function is to prolong the longevity of your eye makeup, improve the fusion degree of subsequent cosmetics, and make the eyeshadow more pigmented. It is generally used after applying your base makeup. You only need to apply a thin layer evenly on the upper eyelid and lower eyelid. Don’t apply too much.
What is the role of eyeshadow primer?
Eye makeup is very important. In order to create a beautiful eyeshadow, sometimes the primer plays a significant role.
1. Cover the imperfections and even the color of eye skin. The primer is actually a bit similar to the foundation, but if you apply foundation on your eyelids, it will increase the burden for you to apply eyeshadow. While the primer has a lighter and more delicate texture, it is more suitable for the eyelid than the foundation.
2. Make the eyeshadow more pigmented. After you apply the eyeshadow primer, your eyeshadow that you then apply will be more pigmented. Thus if you want to wear some shades that are less pigmented, you can apply a layer of primer on your eyelids.
3. Protect your eye skin against chemicals. We all know that there are chemicals in cosmetics, so the eyeshadow primer can prevent cosmetics from directly contacting your skin and build a protective covering over your eyelids.
Control oil and prevent your eye makeup from smudging. It can effectively control the oil of the eye area, making your eyelids keep dry so that your eyeshadow will be more natural and more durable. And your eyeliner will be not so easy to be smudged.
