To prime or not prime - that is a question many women ask at the start of their beauty routine<\/a>. Makeup bases or primers are becoming increasingly popular these days due to their beneficial properties, such as prolonging the wear of your make up, helping to smooth the skin, and creating a well hydrated base to name a few.<\/p>

Whether you are using a simple lightweight BB Cream<\/a> and Cushion or even foundation, including the step of using a makeup base will help to not only support the product you layer on, but allow it to adhere to your skin with better results.\u00a0Whatever your skin type (normal, dry, combination or oily) there are hundreds of makeup bases on the market for you to try.<\/p>

Apart from suitability for your skin type, look out for makeup bases with colour correcting properties. These products will help to correct skin woes like\u00a0blotchiness, dullness and discolouration.\u00a0A green primer, for example, helps to get rid of the redness<\/a> commonly caused by zits. When using such a product, less is always more and you should always blend the amount applied, lest it peeks through the foundation.<\/p>

So should you be using a makeup base? We think so. After all, the lightweight nature of the product ensures that your\u00a0makeup lasts longer on your skin. Head over to the gallery above\u00a0for a round-up of 10 amazing makeup bases to try today!<\/p>
