Every time we wear makeup, we’re telling the world a story about ourselves. And every good story start with setting the scene. This why starting off your makeup with a primer is key, not just for your foundation, but for smooth application of your lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara and even your lashes. Ahead, find the best primers for your face, eyes, lips and more.
