"In this next clip I'm going to show you how to prime the skin with a primer. I'm going to use the same brush that I just used for a moisturizer, the foundation brush, and do an even layer all over the skin. And this is going to really help the foundation stay all night. I chose an oil-free primer because it will prevent any breakouts from happening, and a primer just really smoothes out any texture in the skin and it helps your foundation to stay in place for a lot longer than if you didn't use a primer. So an even layer all over the skin. Even on youthful skin you're going to want to use a primer, even though they have less imperfections, because it really will help smooth out everything and make the foundation just look absolutely perfect. And that's priming the skin."
