Prime Your Way to Perfect Skin

The key step in makeup prep

To prime or not to prime… a common question asked by both men and women purchasing their favourite makeup products. The simple answer? Add to cart, always. Why? The results speak for themselves, where you can not only see, but feel the difference when you swipe a quality skin primer on pre-makeup.

But First, Face Primer

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics boasts best-selling bases (from buildable Liquid Mineral Foundation to Loose Natural Mineral Foundation that can even cover tattoos) leading the way for complementary mineral options when it comes to prepping and priming your face.

Skin Prep with Purpose

Youngblood’s makeup primers are multipurpose, universally suitable for all skin types, and can be worn alone for a satin skin finish, or layered under your chosen foundation to ensure smoother application and longer-lasting wear. So, whether you’re searching for the best primer for oily skin, the best primer for dry skin, or the best makeup primer for mature skin, you’re in the right place.

Prep & Prime in One Hero Product

The brand’s number one skin primer is the Mineral Primer, a colourless formula that instantly blurs and smoothes skin, with a lightweight, silky feel, to soften skin and ensure makeup lasts longer. It can be used on all skin types, even ideal for acne-prone or sensitive skin due to Youngblood’s signature blend of minerals.

This features Smithsonite, to combat oxidative stressors, protect skin and support healing, while Rhodochrosite boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to soothe and calm. Malachite aids in detoxification, along with offering anti-ageing benefits to enhance skin elasticity and stimulate collagen. Hematite features iron, improving circulation and nutrient delivery. In addition, Jojoba Seed Oil mimics the skin’s natural oil, balancing, conditioning and hydrating, while Vitamin E moisturises, soothes and protects skin. Described as glassy, soft, smooth and velvety, it has an overwhelming 5-star response in over 60 reviews online.

Colour Correcting Skin Prep

Second, only to Youngblood’s Mineral Primer above, is the Complexion Correcting CC Perfecting Primer, enriched with peptides for skin plumping collagen regeneration, Liquorice Root Extract for calming, soothing properties, and mica for a subtle glow, created by the shimmering mineral that provides sheer, colour correcting tint, available in medium to tan and light to medium depending on your skin tone. Expect more even skin tone, a slightly matte finish, and a reduction in shine. Loved in over 48 reviews online thanks to its finish, feel and tint, once you try this primer, it will become a staple in your beauty bag for good reason.

Why Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics?

Avoid applying makeup over products with pore-clogging nasties that will only irritate and aggravate skin concerns. As the last step in your skincare, and the first in your makeup, Youngblood’s skin primers are the must-have non-comedogenic, oil-free, paraben and talc free option, along with being PETA -certified cruelty-free. Wear alone or layer under makeup to create a clean, nourishing canvas for the perfect face prep, makeup application and longevity. Use one pump and massage into face with circular motions, or brush onto skin using the YB4 Foundation Brush.
