Silmämeikinpohjusteen

Silmämeikinpohjuste, known in English as eyeshadow primer, is a cosmetic product applied to the eyelids before eyeshadow. Its primary function is to create a smooth canvas for makeup application, enhancing the longevity and vibrancy of eyeshadow.

The formulation of silmämeikinpohjuste typically includes ingredients that help to mattify the eyelid, absorb excess oil, and provide a slightly tacky surface. This allows eyeshadow to adhere better and prevents it from creasing or fading throughout the day. Many primers also contain pigments that can neutralize any natural discoloration of the eyelid, making true eyeshadow colors appear more true to pan.

When applied, a small amount of silmämeikinpohjuste is dabbed onto the eyelid and blended with fingertips or a brush. It dries quickly, creating a base for subsequent eyeshadow application. The benefits include improved color payoff, reduced fallout from powdered eyeshadows, and extended wear time, making it a popular product for those seeking professional-looking and durable eye makeup. Different formulations exist, catering to various skin types and concerns, such as hydrating primers for dry lids or mattifying ones for oily lids.
