If you dare to wear makeup when the weather reaches unbearable temperatures, don’t let your handy work go in vain. Avoid a makeup meltdown by locking in your beat with a primer. Before applying foundation and concealer, it’s critical to prep your face with a matte base.
Matte primers are our go-to over other formulas because they help tighten pores and eliminate excess oil, all while withstanding the heat and humidity. They also provide a smooth canvas for flawless coverage.
