WHAT MAKEUP GOES FIRST?

When it comes to successfully applying makeup that will last and look stunning, applying primer should always be your first step. Primer helps to prepare the skin, it fills fine lines and wrinkles and creates a clean palette for your makeup, and provides a better base level, overall making your makeup last as long as possible. The primer you choose should be lightweight and oil-free.

Colorescience has a variety of primers opetions—including brightening and mattifying primers—to get your face ready for a closeup. Colorescience mineral-based makeup is gentle on skin and free of chemicals.
