HOW TO USE FACE PRIMER
There are a few different ways to use makeup primers, depending on your desired results. Whether you wear makeup or not, our primers were created to help brighten and prep your complexion for glowing results. Here are some pro tips.
TO PRIME FOR MAKEUP
To use it as a true makeup primer, complete all your skincare steps before moving on to the primer and makeup. This allows skin to absorb all the ingredients and benefits of skincare, such as hydration and sun protection, and create a smooth canvas for cosmetics. Apply primer as the first step of your makeup look to create a glowy base that enhances long-wear results.
TO SET MAKEUP
Want to lock in your look? Add in primer as the last layer of your makeup to create a more natural finish than powder, foundation or highlighter alone. Simply dab the primer onto your face with fingertips and lightly blend out.
TO SET SKINCARE
Use it as the top layer of all skincare steps to create a bare-faced, dewy finish. Also known as the “no-makeup makeup look, it’s perfect for staying glowy on laid-back days or as a quick pick-me-up while running errands.
AS A HIGHLIGHTER
Use it just on the cheekbones and other high points of the face to accentuate your favorite features. This also creates a warming effect, like you just got back from a warm, relaxing vacay.
HOW TO COLOR CORRECT
Sometimes, we need a little more correction and a little more coverage. Here's some pro tips on using our color correcting eye cream stick:
AS A DARK CIRCLE ERASER
After hydrating and priming your undereyes, gently swipe the eye cream stick over your dark circles. Blend in with your fingers, a brush or a sponge and layer your favorite undereye concealer.
Trying to find your perfect shade? Banana color corrects purple dark circles, apricot neutralizes blue/purple dark circles and pumpkin neutralizes blue dark circles.
AS A DARK SPOT CORRECTOR
Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Stick can also be used as a dark spot corrector! First, look at your dark spot and determine its undertone - purple, blue or blue/purple - to choose your shade. Then, lightly dab the corrector onto your dark spots and follow up with your favorite concealer.
HOW TO WASH OFF YOUR MAKEUP
You’ll likely not want to remove the flawless, long-wear results of your primer and corrector, but all makeup needs to be removed each night before bed.Wash it off with Truth Juice Daily Cleanser, a gel cleanser that gently removes long-wear
makeup, including mascara and liquid eyeliner, without stripping skinof healthy oils.
