Tinted primer paint.

Tinted face primers can also be worn on their own without foundation for a light natural look. When painting it s a good idea to tint the primer the color of the finished paint to reduce the number of coats needed. By working inside the color space of the topcoat color the right basecoat shade allows the topcoat to more fully and more quickly develop its true color. The tinted primer reduces the number of paint coats needed to hide the darker base coat.

Tinted primer does a better job of covering the existing paint color than plain. Make sure the primer and paint are compatible before mixing the two together. You re going from a lighter to a dramatically darker color e g light blue to black. A tinted primer when worn under foundation creates a smooth and even toned base for your makeup.

A primer tinted to the recommended shade of gray creates the ideal balance of light absorption and scattering to achieve the correct color in fewer coats.
