When putting on makeup, it’s essential that you’ve got the right base to work with. Remember that before you get to that part when you could play with fun and colorful products like lipstick and eye shadow, you first need to create a base that is flawless and easy to blend with other makeup. With that said, it means finding the perfect primer, concealer, and foundation to complement your skin’s needs.
Here, we list all the amazing base products at Calyxta that will certainly help you achieve that gorgeous professional-looking finish!
PRIMER: A good primer helps smoothen out the bumps and dents of the skin and keep pores closed. Here are our top picks:
