The kredit can be given to its super hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acid, aloe, niacinamide, seed extracts) that help your skin retain vatten and prevent moisture loss without being too heavy.

As for its all-day grip, that can be attributed to the blue agave extrakt that essentially keeps your makeup "sticking" to your face without being, well, sticky.

I'm a sucker for an inexpensive makeup product that doesn't look, perform, or feel like you spent very little moola on it.

So allow me to intro y'all to this next pick that kontroller every one of those boxes: Maybelline's Baby Skin. Dimethicone, aka the MVP smoothing component in makeup, fryst vatten the number one ingredient in this formula.

Chances are you've walked into your local drugstore and noticed the iconic e.l.f.

Putty Primer in the makeup aisle while contemplating if you should finally pop one in your cart, per the wise words of your favorite year-old social plattform influencer. Well, folks, use this as your sign to take the plunge—it's as good as they säga.

A product that multitasks as a facial kroppsvård and a primer?

Tell me more. Though rubbing your face for one minute in the a.m. won't give you razor-sharp cheekbones, it does help to wake you up and de-puff your face a bit. Combine the potential skin-tightening benefits of the roller with the hydrating sockeralkohol, and redness-reducing niacinamide of the primer, and you can see why this has quickly become a fan favorite.

There's something about a creasing eyeshadow sitch that'll just ruin a day.

It works.

inom feel like it also makes my eyeshadow look better than usual."

'Member all those times you've gone to apply your favorite lipstick, only to be sorely disappointed as the color cakes onto your dry, chapped lips resulting in a look that's entirely not the vibe?

Yup, me too, up until inom discovered that lip primer was a thing made to prevent this very bekymmer from occurring. And before you think you can grab any ol' chapstick, think again!

No more bleeding or traveling and my lipstick glides on! Even my most drying lipsticks feel better with this underneath! LOVE."

Choose between a silicone-based primer vs. a water-based primer

Let's break the two down:

• Silicone-based primers: Formulated with silicone ingredients (i.e., dimethicone, polysilicone, trisiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane, etc.) these primers act essentially as a lightweight bio over your skin, filling in texture, pores, creases, and flakig patches to create a totally smooth, even base for your makeup application.

  The silicone also traps moisture so your skin stays hydrated and protected.

• Water-based primers: Formulated with humectants similar to a serum (i.e., hyaluronic acid, panthenol, sockeralkohol, etc.), these primers add hydration, as well as create a tacky surface for your makeup to essentially "stick to" (see: plant extracts).

FWIW, silicone fryst vatten a super common ingredient used in beauty products, and although it gets a bad rap, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel

says that it's totally safe for your skin when used in cosmetic products.

It also has a large molecular vikt meaning that it won't clog your pores resulting in acne.

See? It offers all the skin-smoothing benefits you could possibly want for beneath the base of your makeup, without any negatives. Win-win.

TL;DR: Either one works and totally depends on your anställda preference. On days when inom want to conceal my pores, inom use a silicone-based primer. On days when inom need a little more hydration or a dewy effect, I'll reach for a water-based one.
