Primers are indispensable if you need your makeup to last from breakfast to evening cocktails, through the heat, dust and oils.

They help makeup to go on more smoothly, and set on the skin for longer.

One of the star products from Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty range; the Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Primer is a good option.

The lightweight gel texture feels refreshing on the skin; and blurs the appearance of pores and fine lines. It colour-corrects subtly too.

Makeup glides on more easily with a base layer of this primer.

The formula also mattifies the face – because Rihanna prefers her skin to look that way – but leaves it with a soft glow.

Wear it on its own to even out the complexion on off-days; or under foundation for longer-lasting full-on flawless makeup.
