Summertime = Primer Time

Comments (1)


Though the weather outside is no longer frightful, the increasing temperatures could easily turn your makeup into a scare.

But there's a simple solution: mattifiers. They keep your makeup feeling fresh and prevent your face from looking like a greasy mess at the end of the day.

Mattifiers add a flawless touch to your makeup and can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.



Dr. Brandt Pores No More Aging Mattifying Lotion ($60, sephora.com) is the latest addition to the celebrity dermatologist's popular pore-shrinking, oil-controlling Pores No More line. The mattifying moisturizer not only delays the signs of aging but also improves the appearance of fine lines. It's oil-absorbing micronized ingredients allow the lotion to dry with a matte finish.


The mattifier that you use on your face, however, should not be used on your eyes. Certain ones are created specifically for eye makeup, like Urban Decay's Primer Potion in Eden ($18, sephora.com). This special potion will allow your eye shadow to dry quicker, last longer and make the color more vibrant. It can be worn alone or under eye makeup. Not only does the mattifier benefit women with oily eyelids, it can also keep your eye shadow from smearing by the end of the day.


A simple way to keep your lip color from fading or smearing is by applying lip primer. Duwop Prime Venom ($20, sephora.com) is a matte lip balm that leaves your lips subtle and smooth, so you can rock your bright lips this summer without worrying about the color ending up on your teeth.
