It's no secret that Kim K likes to apply a ton of foundation for all of that contouring.  But one of the most important rules that makeup artists and Kim follow is ALWAYS USE A GREAT PRIMER!.  It basically preps your face/canvas for all that painting, creating a smooth surface that allows your makeup to stay on longer and look more natural.  One great brand that is used by Mario Dedivanovic, the Kardashian/Jenner Makeup artist is  the Anti-Aging Primer by Cover FX ($44.80) which acts as both a nourishing foundation primer and an anti-aging treatment all in one. It utilizes antioxidants and peptides to hydrate and smooth the skin instantly: Coenzyme Q10 improves skin clarity and radiance while reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles; its MultiPeptide Complex supports skin repair; and vitamins C, E, and F offer skin protection and reduce inflammation and redness, along with a chamomile plant derivative called Bisabolol.

This two-in-one product is vegan and free of gluten, talc, mineral oil, fragrances, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, all of which can cause inflammation. To apply, simply dab a pea-sized amount with your fingertips. It can be used as an anti-aging treatment during the day or at night, or you can apply it under your foundation as primer. Either way, your skin will reap the benefits of this power-packed product!
