The color of a primer often hints at its purpose.

• Green primers are usually designed to help neutralize redness, making them a good choice for those with visible redness or blemishes.

Always check the product details to see which concerns each primer targets, so you can choose one that fits your needs.

Many e.l.f. primers can work well for mature skin, especially those with hydrating or smoothing properties.

• Hydrating formulas can help minimize the look of dryness or fine lines.
• Primers with a blurring effect can create a smoother canvas for makeup.
• Look for options that mention "hydrating" or "poreless" in the name for extra comfort and a soft-focus finish.

It’s a good idea to patch test any new product and see how it feels on your skin.

For the best results, start with clean, moisturized skin.

1. Dispense a small amount of primer onto your fingertips.
2. Gently smooth it over your face, focusing on areas where makeup tends to fade or settle.
3. Let the primer set for about a minute before applying foundation or other makeup.

Using the right amount and allowing it to dry can help your makeup go on smoothly and last longer throughout the day.
