Lip primer has several more names: foundation or base. Not everyone knows about this cosmetic product, its functionality and properties. Our article will help to understand this issue.
About the product
Makeup base is a support product that improves the durability of makeup and protects the skin from the harmful effects of makeup ingredients.
The skin of the lips is quite thin and sensitive, requiring regular care.
Depending on the composition, the lip primer can nourish, moisturize, soften the skin, protect it from the sun and prolong youth.
The base creates the perfect lip contour for the subsequent application of cosmetics. The tool fills wrinkles and smoothes out irregularities. The primer does not allow gloss or lipstick to spread, leaving the boundaries indicated by it. A lip pencil has similar properties. But not everyone loves and knows how to use it.
Lipstick glides on prepped skin more evenly, lasts longer and doesn't smudge.
Some primers make lips look fuller. In addition, there are products with a scrub effect.

The concealer is very similar to hygienic lipstick, it lies on the lips evenly and practically does not change their natural color. Some products make lips lighter and more matte. The liquid base is usually completely transparent and remains the same on the lips, solid products often change the color of the natural pigment. The primer is less oily than lip balms and lip balms. There is no wax in the base, so after application there is no need to remove excess with a napkin, you can immediately paint your lips with colored gloss or lipstick.
