“Watch me go from 46 to 36 in under ten minutes,” is how Beauty Expert Daniella Britt begins a popular TikTok video that shows her highlighting the magic of primer — a product you absolutely need in your life if it’s not already front and center on your shelf.
@daniella_britt The ONLY primer you will ever need! The ONLY primer that will blur every imperfection , fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and dark circles while also tightening your skin! This is a miracle in a bottle! @Peter Thomas Roth Labs my hero! #skincare #skin #beauty #tiktokshopbacktoschool #foundationhack #matureskinmakeup #matureskin #makeupover40 #makeuptutorial #makeuptok
If you’re looking for “perfectly airbrushed skin” that “takes away fine lines and brightens,” Britt recommends one primer above all others — and she demonstrates how smooth and flawless her skin appears after applying a light layer of this product.
Whether you’re searching for a better way to do your makeup over 40 or you’re fed up with how easily your foundation shows your pores, lines, and wrinkles, here’s how Britt recommends changing your technique and adding a crucial product to your lineup.
Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX No-Filter Primer
First thing’s first: the primer that Britt recommends is Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX No-Filter Primer. This primer is said to visibly firm and blur the look of pores and fine lines. It’s ideal for all skin types, including dry, oily, and combination, and its ingredients include firming silicates and seaweed extract, hydrating BarPull, and something called Elastiflex IQ for smoothening.
Good news: Application is Easy
Applying a primer doesn’t require the pro makeup skills needed to apply eyeshadow, eyeliner, or foundation. Primer is actually a lot simpler to deal with. Start with clean skin and apply it in dots all over your face. You don’t need a brush or sponge — work the primer into your skin using your fingers until it is fully blended.
After it has been blended it’s important to remain expressionless and allow the primer to dry for about seven to 10 minutes. Not doing this can result it in cracking in your skin and not looking smooth. Britt even shows how she uses a blowdryer to speed up the process.
Foundation is Optional
When Britt is finished letting her primer dry she remarks on how well it tightens and brightens the skin. She will sometimes add foundation or just a tinted sunscreen for a bit of color, but you needn’t even add more makeup. The primer itself is one of the best non-makeup makeup-looking tools out there and you need to add it to your makeup bag pronto.
