The selection covers face primers, oil-painting primers and specialty formulas such as mattifying, brightening and silicone-based options.

When picking a primer, consider your skin type or the medium you’ll be using, check if it offers oil control or radiance, and look for a texture that blends easily without leaving a heavy film.

Questions

What is the purpose of a silicone primer?

Silicone primers create a smooth surface that helps makeup or paint adhere evenly.

Can I use a face primer on a canvas?

Face primers are formulated for skin and are not suitable for canvas; use an oil-painting primer for that.

Do primers with SPF protect my skin?

Primers that include SPF add sun protection, but they should be used with a dedicated sunscreen for full coverage.
