Primers are often seen as optional steps when it comes to your makeup routine – but they are far from it. The right primer formula can make all the difference in both the way your makeup sits on the skin and your skin look in general. We feel so strongly about hybrid makeup primers being pivotal in your regimen that we created two of them – and they’re pretty incredible if we do say so ourselves. And because we’re Clinique, we infused them both with skin-loving ingredients so you can continue creating your dream skin look while you go about your day. Here’s a breakdown of all things prime time.

It's prime time for makeup & skin.
Do you need a primer for makeup?

Try applying a primer before using Even Better™ Makeup SPF 15 and Even Better™ All-Over Concealer + Eraser. You can even wear primer alone to boost radiant skin or to get a soft look with minimized oil on those no-makeup days. Whether you’re going glam or keeping it simple, a primer helps keep your look natural and put-together.

Maybe you’re looking for a smoother look. If that’s the case, you have to try out our Even Better™ Pore Defying Primer. This hybrid primer formula is designed to deliver a soft-focus effect with a weightless water-balm texture that blurs pores and reduces oil and shine. Also silicone-free and oil-free, this pore-blurring, shine-busting primer locks in makeup, while its skin-loving formula with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid helps minimise the look of pores, reduce oil, and hydrate skin over time.
