Thick Face Primer
Sephora customers often prefer the following products when searching for Thick Face Primer.
The best way to get a smooth, even surface for your foundation is to use a primer. The key to a good primer is that it should be thin enough that it doesn't interfere with the application of your foundation, but thick enough to provide some protection against the elements. Here are some of the best primers on the market today.
