Why You’re Skipping Primer (and Regretting It)

Posted on May 28 2025

If your foundation isn’t sitting quite right, or seems to disappear by midday, here’s a good chance you’re skipping the one product that could fix it all: primer.

Think of primer as the bridge between your skincare and your makeup. It smooths, hydrates, grips, and sets the stage for everything else.

Here’s why skipping primer is probably sabotaging your makeup...

 

1. It’s the Secret to a Smoother Base

Primer fills in fine lines, blurs texture, and gives foundation something to hold onto. Without it, your foundation can cling to dry patches or settle unevenly.

 

💡 Pro tip: Use your fingers to gently press First Base Primer into your skin. The warmth helps it melt in for a skin-like finish.

2. It Helps Makeup Last Longer (Much Longer)

Ever looked in the mirror at 3pm and wondered where your makeup went? Primer prevents that dreaded midday slide.
First Base Primer is designed to lock in your look while keeping your skin feeling fresh and not tight or dry.

3. It Makes Foundation Apply Better

Foundation just glides over primed skin. You’ll use less product, get more even coverage, and reduce caking or streaking, especially around your nose or chin.
Primer creates that slightly grippy finish that gives your makeup staying power.

4. It Adds Hydration (Without Making You Shiny)

Unlike older mattifying primers that could feel chalky, First Base Primer is packed with skin-loving ingredients like Aloe Vera, Vitamin A + E.
The result? Smoother, more comfortable wear, whether your skin’s dry, combination, or somewhere in between.

So, Should You Be Using Primer?

Yes. Especially if you want:
✔️ Your foundation to go on smoother
✔️ Your makeup to last longer
✔️ A more polished, professional finish
