Waterproof Primers

Sephora customers often prefer the following products when searching for Waterproof Primers.

The best waterproof primers will keep your skin from getting too wet, but not so much that they'll keep you from sweating. These products will also help to seal in the moisture so that it doesn't seep out over time. Primers can also help to create a barrier between your skin and makeup, allowing for easier and longer-lasting applications. Here are some waterproof primers made for you.

Love this primer...Compared to other primers I've used, this one feels very smooth, but doesn't have the heavy greasy feeling of some primers I've tried....I sweat a lot so I get waterproof everything. Even though this doesn’t say it’s waterproof I’ve noticed that my makeup stays on better and longer.

Great Primer!...Goes on silky, and makes my makeup last all day! Also, it waterproofs anything you put on top of it!...seriously the best primer out there. i usually use mattifying products to counter my oily skin and though this isn't necessarily a primer for that, it really works with my skin. yes, it is expensive, but i only use half a pump for my entire face. one bottle lasts me 6 months, so it is definitely a great investment. i noticed they have a smaller size now too for those who are skeptical, but trust me, you will end up buying the full size because it's that amazing. this primer does everything it says- minimizes shine, neutralizes redness, waterproofs makeup, etc. i love everything about it, it feels great on, like it is not even there, but the results are miraculous.
