Does your makeup disappear by the end of the day? Primer creates a barrier between your skin and the foundation so it doesn’t just absorb in. The function of a primer is to help fill in imperfections. With your pores, your skin is like an orange peel. Primer will make it smooth like an apple! If you start with a smooth surface, it’s easier to create a flawless finish.

Using a face primer creates a barrier between your skin and the makeup that you put on it. This barrier prevents your makeup from clogging your pores. It also helps your makeup stay on longer and look fresher throughout the day as the primer absorbs the oils that cause makeup to wear off.

Motives Complexion Perfection Face Primer is an innovative formula that targets pores, fine lines and wrinkles, Complexion Perfection Face Primer visibly reduces the appearance of imperfections for even-looking skin that is prepped and primed. This oil-free, smoothing formula extends the life of your foundation for the perfect, flawless look.

How to use: Apply Motives Complexion Perfection Face Primer  to your entire face. A little goes a long way, so start with the size of a pea. You can even use a foundation brush instead of your fingers. Using a brush, gather primer and blend evenly onto the face. Begin priming the forehead and work your way down to the jawline.

Ok, back to analogies. But if you had a crack in your wall you’d fill it in with spackle before painting it right? You should do the same thing with your fine lines and wrinkles with a makeup filler.

Sometimes your primer won’t be enough to fill all of those imperfections, so a filler can be used in the areas that need a little more help.

Setting spray (also known as: finishing spray, makeup setting spray, finish spray, or makeup spray) is a cosmetic product designed to preserve applied make-up for long periods of time. 

Setting spray is used to prevent all makeup, including foundation, eye shadow, and eye liner, from creasing, smudging or fading, most setting sprays are sprayed on using a fine mist that won't disturb your makeup. It should be applied after completing a full face of makeup, not just for glammed up looks you should even apply after your everyday makeup routine.
