Summer Face: 5 Primers That Will Allow Your Makeup To Last Longer
You won't get through summer without this makeup product

Summer's worst side-effect is sticky humidity and scorching heat which is a special kind of hell for makeup lovers. You know what I'm talking about, right? You've spent a good hour applying your makeup and 10 minutes after you leave the house, greasy splotches begin breaking through your base. By midday, a full-fledged oil spill has broken out on your face and you're blotting like it's no one's business.

Sounds familiar? To many makeup enthusiasts, it will. Primer can change that. Not only can the right makeup primer smoothen texture and even out its tone, it can also control oiliness and extend the life of makeup. Take a look at these five makeup primers which can save your face, quite literally, this summer.

1. Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimising Primer

Possibly the most popular brand in the primer world is Smashbox. They've got a wide range of primers and this purple patterned tube promises to not only control oil for up to 8 hours but also wipe out the appearance of pores while it's around. Two bird, one stone.

The Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimising Primer is available at Sephora starting at Rs. 1600
