I’m not a primer person. I’ve always found that it makes my face slicker, and my makeup slides off faster, basically the opposite effect that a primer should have. To each their own, though.

In the past six months or so, though, I’ve found that a different product actually helps keep my makeup on the way a primer should. And the best part is that it’s a skincare necessity that we all should be wearing every day: sunscreen, specifically Glossier’s Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen SPF 35. I apply it in the morning on top of my moisturizer, and it mattifies my otherwise-shiny T-Zone and keeps it that way for hours.

Sunscreen is so important, especially living here in the California sunshine. I really regret years of forsaking it in an attempt to get a tan (I KNOW, OKAY). I want to age as flawlessly as my mom, so you can bet I’m applying my SPF religiously. The priming power is just a great bonus.
