The cheery summer months of London are just around the bend, and with the added warmth and sun exposure, primer becomes especially necessary to lengthen the life of your beauty products. Primer provides an even base for makeup, smooths pores, and creates an effortless glow. Keep your makeup fresh all day long with one of Yvonne Victoria’s favorite primers. From glowy and silky to matte and tacky, we’ve got you covered. Here are Yvonne’s top picks for the ultimate base…

“Don’t be afraid” of this luxuriously creamy primer. This is a two-in-one moisturizer and primer with hyaluronic acid, squalane, and shea butter to create a firm base for your foundation. No wonder this incredible product sells once every 24 seconds.
This game-changing primer is the one for blurring and airbrushing your pores away. It also uniquely offers SPF 15, giving your skincare some extra durability for the warm months ahead. This primer is also famously gentle on all skin types.
This high-end necessity instantly illuminates the skin and can be worn for a “no-makeup-makeup” look. For days when a full face isn’t a necessity, throwing on this primer gives its own coverage and glow. Top it with your favorite makeup products for long-lasting coverage.
Not to forget a mattifying primer, we have a cult favourite. This creates a sticky texture for your base to cling on to which guarantees your makeup will not budge.

Honourable Mention…

What would we do without our tried and true primer? Good for minimizing pores and great for the budget, this £11.00 primer effortlessly creates a satin finish and creates a buildable foundation for makeup to last all day. Pump 2-3 times onto the cheeks, forehead and chin for a full coverage effect.
