PRIMERS do for your skin what lingerie does for your figure - they smooth, flatter, conceal and hold things in place, so that everything you put on top of them looks immediately better. Whether you want to blur wrinkles, mattify, minimize the appearance of pores or even skin tone, primers do this whilst creating a velvety base for make-up and helping it to stay put for longer.Some of the high end primers that I like are listed here which you can buy at Sephora. The products listed here range between 15-40 $
