Why do you need makeup bases?

The secret to photo-ready makeup lies in its preparation, and that's where makeup bases and primers play a pivotal role. Acting as a bridge between skincare and makeup, a good foundation primer not only smoothens the skin for an easier application but also enhances the staying power of your makeup. Especially in Singapore’s humid climate, a primer for oily skin or a shine control primer before makeup can be a game-changer, keeping your look fresh and intact throughout the day.

Explore Our Range of Makeup Primers and Bases

Primer for Oily Skin

If you're battling excess shine or simply struggling to keep your makeup on in Singapore’s heat, the Shine Stopper Instant Matte Finish could be the right fit for you. Specially formulated to manage sebum production, this mattifying oil control primer ensures your makeup remains undisturbed throughout the day. Unique Microsponge® Technology controls and prevents oily sheen, while minimising the appearance of enlarged pores for smoother-looking skin texture. Its lightweight texture and oil-absorbing properties make it a great option for makeup prep, and it can even be worn on its own for bare-faced days!

Primer with SPF

In a sun-drenched city like Singapore, a primer with SPF is not just a luxury, but a necessity. The RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 offers dual benefits with its pure mineral zinc oxide formulation for sun protection, as well as an antioxidant blend designed to boost your skin’s protection against environmental factors. A light, sheer tint creates a smooth canvas for makeup application, ensuring your skin looks its best while remaining safeguarded against harmful UV rays.

Matte Finish Primer

For those seeking a velvety, matte finish, the RESIST Smoothing Primer Serum SPF 30 delivers visible results. Broad spectrum SPF 30 sun protection lends your skin an extra barrier against UV rays, while a mix of plant-based antioxidants restores and nourishes against environmental damage. A silky serum texture blurs fine lines and large pores, bringing you one step closer to a younger-looking and smoother complexion even in high heat and humidity conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paula's Choice Skincare Makeup Bases And Primers

What are the main benefits of using a face or makeup primer?

Makeup primers play a crucial role in creating a smooth, even base which improves your makeup’s adherence and longevity. This is particularly relevant in Singapore’s hot and humid climate, where the resulting sweat can affect your makeup and cause it to ‘melt’ off prematurely. Makeup primers can also help minimise the appearance of pores and fine lines, resulting in a more polished, flawless-looking finish ideal for special occasions or everyday wear.

Are Paula's Choice face primers compatible with all foundation types?

Yes, Paula’s Choice makeup primers are formulated to work seamlessly with a wide range of foundations, including liquid, cream, and powder types. The versatility of our makeup primers equip you to achieve a smooth and lasting makeup application in every occasion, while still enjoying the skin-nourishing benefits of our ingredients.

Can I use these face primers with powder-based makeup?

Yes, Paula’s Choice primers can be used with powder-based makeup.

Can I wear these face primers without additional makeup?

Yes, Paula’s Choice primers are formulated to be worn alone or as a base for your makeup. The DEFENSE Essential Glow Moisturizer SPF 30 is one such product that can be worn as the last step of your daily skincare routine, giving your skin a subtle yet refined glow even without additional makeup.

Are there any side effects associated with these face primer products?

All Paula’s Choice products, including our face primers, are rigorously tested for safety. However, as with all skincare products, it’s still possible to experience light side effects when mixing different products together. If you have sensitive skin or specific skincare needs, we recommend conducting a patch test or consulting with your dermatologist in advance. If you experience any irritation after using the face primer, discontinue using the product immediately. A soothing moisturizer can help calm the skin, although we advise you to seek professional opinion if the irritation persists.

What is the return policy for these face primer products?

We offer a customer-friendly 14-day Satisfaction Guarantee Return Policy. If you experience irritation or allergic reactions from using a full-sized face or makeup primer, you may return it within 14 days of purchase or receipt and receive a full refund in the form of online store credit. Unopened items may also be returned within 30 days of purchase of receipt. Find out more in our FAQs.

What is the cancellation policy for these face primer products?

All sales of Paula’s Choice skincare products are final once your order has been placed, including for our face and makeup primers. Orders may not be amended once they’ve been placed, either. For more information or assistance, reach out to our customer service team via our online contact form.

Do you offer free delivery for your face primer products?

Yes, Paula’s Choice Skincare offers free standard delivery for all local orders in Singapore meeting a minimum spend of $10. All other local orders will enjoy standard delivery for a flat shipping rate of $5. For international orders shipping outside of Singapore, please check our shipping policy for the latest information on delivery options and charges. Alternatively, if there is a local Paula’s Choice online store for your country, you may buy your makeup primers directly from it.

How do I know if a face primer product is truly safe for pregnancy?

While all Paula’s Choice face and makeup primer products are safe and rigorously tested, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before using any skincare products during pregnancy. We also offer a collection of pregnancy-safe skincare products designed with the needs of expectant mothers in mind that you may opt to consider.
