YOUR PRIMER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

If you're curious about how primer can elevate your routine, these FAQs will guide you through choosing and using the perfect product for your skin.

What is makeup primer?

A makeup primer is a lightweight cream that is applied to provide a base for foundation makeup. It is typically applied before foundation and is designed to smooth and hydrate the skin, enhance makeup longevity, and target specific skin concerns to give a flawless makeup finish.

Is makeup primer necessary?

What is the difference between primer and foundation?

Primer makeup prepares and smooths the skin, whereas foundation provides coverage and helps even out skin tone.

Are Napoleon Perdis primers cruelty-free and suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes! You can mix Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer with bronzer or highlighting powders to create a bronzing, luminous primer or a glow-boosting body lotion. Primers can also be applied on the high points of the face for targeted radiance, or used as a base for lips.

How do I use Napoleon Perdis primer for best results?

Apply a thin layer of Napoleon Perdis primer directly to clean skin or after moisturizing if you have dry skin. Follow with your choice of foundation. You can also use a foundation brush for a super-smooth application and target areas with concerns, buffing a little extra product where needed
