Face Primers & Make Up Primers
No makeup kit is complete without a high-quality facial primer. This pore-perfecting essential mattifies your skin, preventing oily shine and creating a flawless base that locks your foundation in place all day long — or creates a ‘soft focus’ finish for the days you decide to go “au naturel”. The best facial primers are also skincare, helping boost skin health and providing skin-specific benefits.
facial primers for a healthy glow that lasts all day long
Designed to be applied after your moisturiser, Dermalogica’s facial primers have been formulated to bridge the divide between skin care and colour cosmetics, by optimising skin health benefits according to skin condition and preparing the skin for extended make-up wear. Dermalogica Primers provide a perfect last step in skin care and the first step in makeup.
If you experience oily shine, or prefer a matte finish, select our silky, smoothing, light-weight Hydrablur Primer that powerfully hydrates and mattifies against oily shine and residue. It features H2ORelease Complex technology that delivers sustained-release moisturisation to lock in optimum hydration levels all day, along with Mushroom Extract that helps to refine and reduce the appearance of pores.
Want healthy skin for life? You’ll need a primer with sun protection. Our Skinperfect Primer SPF30 not only acts as a make-up primer, but conditions and treats signs of ageing while shielding your skin against the damage triggered by UV light, which is the number one cause of premature skin ageing. The formula contains a physical sunscreen, minerals to balance your skin’s tone, plus benefits from a firming peptide and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid. This illuminating, silky SPF face primer can be worn alone or as a foundation prep.

faqs
what does a primer do for your face?
In much the same way that a painter uses primer to smooth a surface so paint better adheres to it, facial primers even out the surface of the skin, providing a smoother canvas for a lasting makeup finish or a natural, no makeup look. It can also reduce the appearance of pores, conceal blemishes and fine lines, and ensure your makeup lasts longer throughout the day.
how do I choose a face primer?
There are different types of face primer available, so it’s important to find one that addresses your unique skincare concerns. If you have oily or combination skin, you’ll benefit from a mattifying primer such as HydraBlur Primer, that will help to control excess shine and reduce pore visibility. For drier or mature skin, choose a hydrating, protective facial primer like Skin Perfect Primer SPF30 - this radiance-boosting, velvety primer is a sunscreen and treatment for skin ageing in one.
how do you apply face primer?
Applying makeup primer is simple and only takes a few seconds. After moisturising and applying sunscreen, dispense a small amount into your hands and then smooth over your face — you can use your fingertips or a makeup sponge to work into the skin. Start from the centre of your face and blend outwards. Primers can be worn alone, or you can apply your foundation over the top.
which primer is best for your skin type?
Prepping your makeup for longevity and that freshly applied look begins with selecting the right primer for your skin type. So which is right for you? If your skin is feeling a little dry or is in need of some serious rehydration, pair a rich moisturiser with a primer that leaves the skin feeling bright and dewy. The Skinperfect Primer spf30 is ideal for refreshing the skin, with Pearl Powder that provides visible luminosity.
Reduce oily shine and extend the life of your makeup during the day by prepping your skin with a mattifying or pore blurring primer like our Hydrablur Primer. A non-greasy primer ideal for mattifying the skin and leaving your base silky and smooth.

is primer necessary?
There are many benefits to applying a skin primer prior to your makeup application particularly if your skin concerns are reducing the longevity of your makeup. While applying a makeup primer is not as necessary as your morning skin treatments, primers greatly improve the wear of your makeup by reducing natural oils, blurring dry patches, minimising pores and so much more.
what are the different types of face primers from dermalogica?
Much like our range of skincare treatments, our face primers and make up primers are designed with all skin types in mind. Complete your makeup kit with either our Skinperfect primer spf30 if your skin needs a brightening boost, or apply our Hydrablur primer for smooth silky skin, ideal for reducing fine lines and pores.
