Primers

Can I use moisturizer as a primer?

Yes! If you are looking for moisturizing skincare that doubles as a primer, the best product is the Double Tenseur by Sisley Paris. This product can be applied daily over skincare as well as a base for make-up to help the foundation last longer. By creating a “second skin”, the Double Tenseur creates an immediately lifted and smoothed look to the skin.

What is a color-correcting primer? What color primer do I need?

A color-correcting primer harnesses innovative skincare technology to make the skin look more even and radiant. Color-correcting is using complementary colors to neutralize uneven tones. At Sisley Paris, we have two color-correcting primers in shades Just Lavender and Just Rosy. Instant Correct in Just Lavender is a light purple that is used to neutralize yellow tones whereas Just Rosy, our light pink primer, gives a healthy glow while correcting the look of dull complexions.

Are primers good for mature skin?

Yes! Most makeup artists highly recommend all people with mature skin use a primer before applying any other makeup. Primers are great for mature skin because not only do they increase the longevity of makeup on the skin, but they prevent the foundation from settling into fine lines and wrinkles. The best primer for mature skin is Instant Perfect which corrects the complexion, visibly smoothes fine lines, and reduces shine.
