Best Face Primer For Oily Skin With Large Pores in India : Drugstore & High End Options!

Hello everyone!

For years I heard that the makeup artists apply the ‘base’ before applying the foundation for coverage. I always wondered what the ‘base’ actually does for the skin. That is when I read about the miracle called a face primer. Primer acts as a wonder base for makeup – it mattifies the skin, smoothens the pores, controls oil and prepares the perfect surface for applying makeup that will last longer. While some primers impart a certain glow for dry and dull skin, majority of them control oil and smoothen the skin to minimize large pores. So today, we are going to tell you our Top 10 Best Face Primers For Oily Skin & Large Pores in India!
