PREP & PRIME WITH NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP

Makeup Artist's favourite products from NYX PMU to prep and prime skin

As a makeup lover and a professional makeup artist I have short listed few products from NYX range that I love to use on my own skin and also on my clients in order to prepare the skin for makeup application.

FUNCTIONS OF PRIMERS

1. To minimise the appearance of large pores and fine lines

2. To increase the longevity of makeup

3. To enhance pigments on eyes and avoid creasing

4. To provide a smooth base to work with the makeup

5. To colour correct and to change the texture of the skin

NYX HYDRATOUCH BASE

This primer makes the skin super hydrated and leaves a very refreshed feeling. It has calming and soothing properties and it is perfect for all skin types. It is my summer favourite and in case you are wondering it is a perfect dupe for smash box photofinish hydration primer. People allergic to green tea should avoid using this one.

HONEY DEW ME UP

Can you imagine a primer that also has antiseptic qualities? Well don't be surprised because this primer has those qualities. This primer can be used with matte foundations as well as with other foundations to create a dewy look. Little product lasts you a long way. I sometimes like to wear it on its own because of the way the gold flakes look on the skin. Just be careful if you are allergic to honey or only prefer vegan formula.

NYX PORE FILLER PRIMER

I have always struggled with large pores and I get so many clients who also want a blur effect for their pores. Nothing is better than this primer. It beats one of the high end primers for blurring the large pores. It has a silicone texture and it is perfect to combine with matte foundations.

HIGH GLASS FACE PRIMER

These are new in the range and I was super skeptical to give them a try. But I must tell you if you are a glass skin fan or like that kardashian dewiness to your skin, I kid you not these primers will be your utmost favourite. They come in three different shades, so you can pick and choose whatever suits you the best. You can either wear this primer on its own or combine it with your BORN TO GLOW foundation and you will achieve a perfect glass skin look. To get best results apply it with the special high glass face primer brush.

HD EYE SHADOW BASE

I have always believed in using an eye primer before applying any eyeshadow. It helps to improve the pigmentation as well makes your eye makeup long lasting. This is one of my favourite eyeshadow primer in market. It has the correct kind of consistency an eye base should have. Not too creamy not to dry just perfectly sticky.

BARE WITH ME PRIME SET REFRESH SPRAY

Last but not least. I use this spray as a primer as well as a setting spray. While doing makeup I reach out for this spray again and again to set the foundation or to damp my beauty blender with it. It has a very basic composition which makes it perfect for every skin type. No matter how much foundation I use, it never makes it look too heavy.
