5. Use a patting motion: Instead of rubbing the primer into your skin, gently pat it in using your fingertips or a brush. This will help the primer settle into your skin and create a smooth surface.
- Oily skin: Use mattifying, oil-control primers
- Dry skin: Opt for hydrating, illuminating primers
- Large pores: Choose pore-filling, smoothing primers
- Redness: Use color-correcting green primers
- Dull skin: Try illuminating, radiance-boosting primers2<ref name="ref4">4</ref>
