choosing the right face primer can truly
up your makeup game
so today i'm sharing 10 of the best
makeup primers for mature skin
and i have options for every skin type
dry combination
and oily as well as drugstore primers
all the way up to
high end and luxury welcome back to my
channel if this is your first time here
welcome you may think that primer
doesn't make a difference or it doesn't
do anything at all when in fact you just
haven't found the right primer the right
primer can help make the pores look
smaller
smooth out fine lines and wrinkles in
addition to
doing what they should be doing like
extending the wear of our makeup and
helping it
look better throughout the day and
creating a barrier between our skin and
the makeup we put on top of it so let's
go ahead and get into
these primers that i think are just
really really great for
mature skin or any type of skin for that
matter this first primer is highly
underrated and it's priced really well
even though
it's not a drugstore primer this is the
no poor blem primer from
touch and soul this in my opinion is
great for all skin types
i have oily combination skin and this
does a great job of
combating my shine throughout the day
while not
ever emphasizing any dryness i have on
the perimeter of my face
it's got a nice light lotiony texture
that sinks in really nicely and like
many korean or k
beauty brands they added some skin
benefiting some anti-aging ingredients
in this product as well
there's green tea extract and collagen
so while the primer is doing
the basics of what it should do
extending the wear of my makeup
having it look better throughout the day
i'm also getting some anti-aging
benefits
too this also does a really really great
job of smoothing out my pores
this is my third bottle for a reason i
keep repurchasing it and keep
repurchasing it this is just a great buy
for the money for any skin type this is
tatcha the liquid silk canvas
this is 52. for one ounce
or 22. for .35 ounces i do love
that you can get that travel size the
small size
to try out if you don't want to get the
full size
i did try the original version and
wasn't a big fan of that one i know a
lot of people really like it
but for my skin type i just didn't enjoy
it this is oil free and
very lightweight and lotiony it has that
tatcha
anti-aging nourishing complex in it that
all tatcha products have
it's got anti-pollution properties in it
to help keep your skin clear
as well as thin layers of silk to help
smooth out your imperfections
and your pores i feel like i've grown to
like this even more
the more i've used it this is just a
really beautiful primer that's very
smoothing
it doesn't control my shine quite as
much as
you know my favorite primer does but i
still really really like
it a lot and i think it's just super
skin friendly
for so many skin types while i think it
controls shine pretty well for oily skin
i think maybe
super oily skin it may not be quite
enough i would say for dry too
moderately
oily is who this is going to serve best
but it's nice and smoothing it feels
really lightweight on the skin it's just
overall a very beautiful primer
that sits well on mature skin
and a variety of skin types this next
one surprised me i had seen mostly
dry skin people talk about how much they
like it i kind of thought i wouldn't
like it because of that
but i really do adore this primer
especially
under more matte or drying foundations
i think it's really great for all skin
types but i think specifically
normal and dry skin would love this
primer
this is the revlon colorstay prep and
protect
primer base this is 13.99 for .9 ounces
it also has spf 34 in it take that or
leave it
you have to apply so much of any
foundation or primer to really get the
true spf protection out of it to me
that's kind of just an ancillary benefit
this also has a nice light runny lotiony
texture
it absorbs into the skin very quickly
and leaves
kind of a dewy finish after you're not
going to get that
mattifying finish while it doesn't
completely camouflage the pores i just
find it to be
very flattering on the skin and it
hydrates yet absorbs oil at the same
time
i find i don't get greasy with it like i
thought i might
so this was just a nice pleasant
surprise it's in a nice
small compact travel bottle it's
economical
great across all skin types particularly
normal dry skin
now this next one seems like it's
smaller than all the others but you use
a smaller amount to get a really great
effect
i was a little concerned about it but i
quickly found out i didn't need to be
concerned whatsoever
this is the shiseido wasso poreless
matte primer
it's 28.4.71 ounces
this is great for combination or oily
skin
or even those of you with normal skin
that just really wants something that's
going to control your shine
in the middle of the summer or heat and
humidity it's oil free
and it's mattifying right away i mean
you see the effect
immediately and it does control shine
throughout the day
so this is great for those of you like
me who have tried the typical
pore filling primers that you have to
press into your pores
that come in the jars they work great
for filling in the pores but they don't
typically
control my oil my shine breakthrough
throughout the day
this is the best of both worlds for me
it applies like a lotion
to the skin like all these other primers
but it controls my oil throughout the
day and it fills in my pores i'm just
shocked at how little i needed this
product
to do the job you know usually i need a
pea size amount
of a primer and with this i need about
half of that it also doesn't
sit on the surface of the face because
primers like that for me
just tend to affect the makeup i put on
top of it i don't know i just don't like
those
so i highly recommend this to those of
you with oily combination skin
and those of you who live in a hot and
humid climate this is
fantastic this is a primer that i talked
about
a lot a while back but i haven't really
mentioned in a while and it needs
another shout out because i've kind of
neglected it
and it's really really good this is the
florida v
smooth operator skin perfecting primer
it is
42.50 for one ounce so this
is different from all of these primers
in that it's got this color encapsulated
technology
it kind of works like those bb creams
that you pump them out and they're
white and then as you apply them to the
skin
they start to match your skin tone and
even it out
it blurs the imperfections and evens out
the redness
while also doing a great job of
minimizing the pores
it also does a great job of hydrating
while it controls my oil
this is a great product that can be worn
alone or it can be used as a primer it
feels
really nice and lightweight on the skin
too this is a louisiana company that i
stumbled across i have no affiliation
last year maybe a year and a half ago
and i'm really glad i did because this
is such
a great unknown product and i know a lot
of you have tried it and have loved it
just as much as i do
it's a really versatile product that i
have gotten my money's worth out of this
is my second bottle for a reason
i think it's great for any skin type
and i think more people need to know
about it for sure i said there were 10
primers in this video and i forgot that
i didn't narrow down
the two glowy primers that i had as
options in this video
so i'm combining them as one which means
there's technically 11 but i really love
them both
i can't narrow this down i'm going to
give you all the information and you can
make your own
educated decision based on that so the
first
is the charlotte tilbury wonder glow
primer
it is 55 for 1.35 ounces
this has a lotiony texture to it and
there's no sparkle there's no glitter
i find that this applies a lot lighter
than her hollywood flawless filter
so if you're someone who likes using
that but maybe you can only apply it to
the high points of your face
like me because it makes you too glowy
this is a great
option that you can apply under your
foundation that helps give it a little
bit of radiance
but doesn't make you you know look
greasy it reflects light it's got
peptides and anti-aging ingredients
it blurs it minimizes the pores it does
you know all the good things a primer
should do
i just like the effect it gives
underneath my foundations it makes
me look nice and healthy and radiant now
we have the one true
luxury face primer of the bunch this
is the by terry cc serum and i'll put
the shades that i have down below
it's not so much about the shades it's
about what these do and there's a reason
why
people purchase these over and over and
rave about them
despite the 91 dollar cost
for one ounce of product these are color
correcting they give a soft
focus effect because of the light
diffusing particles and they're actually
infused with rose stem cells
and that's what helps improve the skin's
radiance
they even out the skin tone and hydrate
and brighten
and there's even some built-in skincare
they just give a glow to the skin
you can mix these in with your
foundation apply as a primer before
use them alone or use as a highlight
they're just
so versatile and really make the skin
look stunning this is one of those
products that you think is going to be
ordinary but it's just not
it's also a great gift item if you have
that person that you know just has
everything that you never
know what to buy them this or really
anything
by by terry bye bye terry is a great
great gift item i mean shoot it's a
great gift item for yourself too it's
only appropriate to move on to a
drugstore
product after that luxury item so
this is the rimmel stay matte makeup
primer
this is around six or seven dollars
depending on where you look
for 0.9 ounces this is a lightweight
primer that helps keep the skin matte
and control shine i find this does a
really great job of minimizing the pores
as well this is a primer that i like to
keep in my makeup arsenal because it's a
great drugstore option for those of you
that have
oily combination skin and really want to
control your shine throughout the day
this isn't a primer that i recommend for
anyone with normal to dry skin
i think that it can pick up on dry
patches but for
the rest of you this is a fantastic
drugstore option that really really does
work
now we have the hourglass veil mineral
primer that i've talked about many many
many times
here on my channel this comes in three
sizes
the one ounce size is 54. the
0.31 ounce size that's the little travel
size
is 20 and the 2 ounce tube
is 75 i've gone through so many of these
that i did finally
get the tube because it was just a
better buy for me
there are many reasons why i love this
primer so much
this is typically my control primer when
i'm testing out foundations
because it does work for me so well with
so many different types of foundations
it's got a texture that's quite
different from any other primer
it's very airy and silky and lightweight
yet it does sink into the skin like a
lotion it doesn't have that silicone
slip to it it's just a very unique
texture
it is oil free and it does truly feel
weightless on the skin because it's
oil-free and mineral-based it's
really really great for those with
sensitive skin it does make the skin
feel really really smooth
after you apply it and it minimizes
pores and
imperfections so so nicely the unique
feature that this has that a lot of
primers don't is that it repels water so
if you are like me
and you live in a hot and humid
environment and
can beat up with sweat when you walk
from your car to a building
this is a great great primer to have
in your makeup stash because it can
actually
keep your makeup looking fresh now i
know this works great for my combination
oily skin and it works great for
normal skin people but i have known
plenty of
dry skin people that have loved this too
and i do have to say that when i have
dry
areas around the perimeter of my face
that doesn't happen too much anymore but
it never emphasized those
on me this is just such a great unique
beautiful primer that people love so
much for a reason
and it is just my number one primer for
a reason
now i know there's this rumor that the
nyx angel veil
skin perfecting primer is a dupe for
the hourglass mineral veil this is 16
for one ounce of product
it's also very weightless and silky i
think this does a great job of smoothing
the skin
and minimizing the pores and controlling
my oil
i don't however think it's a dupe for
the simple fact that if i wear this
more than two to three days at a time my
face starts getting really dried out i
can wear the hourglass veil mineral
primer
day in day out and my skin almost seems
to
improve it just does beautiful things
for my skin
whereas my skin stays clear with this it
just gets
really dry and parched so i can only
wear this
a day or two at a time i do however
think it functions really really well on
the days
that i wear it so i wanted to include it
in this video because if you do have
oily combination skin
we do need those bulletproof primers in
our arsenal and this is a great
drugstore option now this is a primer
that i didn't think i was going to like
because it's typically referred to as
being hydrating
and very good for dry skin this is the
too faced hangover
replenishing primer it is 34.
for 1.35 ounces there's also a 0.68
ounce size
for 17 this is very very light
lotiony and hydrating because of the
coconut water and other ingredients
yet it somehow works on my oily
combination skin
really well it almost feels cooling on
my skin i love the way my skin feels
when i wear this
i wouldn't say it does phenomenal things
for my pores but it doesn't emphasize my
pores either
my skin just looks and feels really
healthy when i wear it
it helps my makeup last a long time and
look really good it keeps my
skin balanced and functioning normally
and feeling really hydrated
when i get shiny i don't get greasy with
it either which is really
nice i like having a primer like this
because sometimes i wear mattifying
foundations
and i don't always want a mattifying
primer as well because
it's too much matte i want a hydrating
primer on occasions and this is a really
really great one to have
no matter what skin type you have if you
haven't seen my recent video on my top
long wearing budge proof foundations
i'll have that linked here for you
what are some of your favorite primers

have in this video i'd love to hear
