Wearing it Alone: You can use this primer on its own as part of your skincare routine, especially if you want to minimize the appearance of pores and control excess oil without applying makeup. Wearing it alone can provide a smoother, matte finish to your skin, creating a more polished look without the need for additional makeup. Under Makeup: This primer is also designed to be an excellent base for makeup application. When applied before your foundation or other makeup products, it can help create a smooth canvas for makeup application. It assists in blurring imperfections, improving the longevity of your makeup, and giving your skin a more flawless appearance. Longer Lasting Makeup: Using our Pore Refiner Primer can help extend the wear of your makeup by creating a barrier between your skin and your makeup products. This can be especially beneficial in preventing makeup from settling into pores or fine lines, as well as controlling excess oil that can cause makeup to break down throughout the day.
