When it comes to flawless, all-day glam, the secret isn’t just your foundation or your favorite lip gloss—it’s how you prep and set your skin. Think of your face like a canvas: without a smooth, primed base, your makeup won’t apply evenly. And without a strong set at the end, your hard work might melt away before lunchtime. That’s why primer and setting spray are non-negotiables in your routine. Today, we’re breaking down how to mattify, prime, and set using Bonjour Babe Beauty’s Mattifying Face Primer and Hydrating Setting Spray so your makeup stays fresh from morning lattes to midnight selfies.
Why Skin Prep is Everything
No matter your skin type—oily, dry, or somewhere in between—proper skin prep makes your makeup last longer, look smoother, and stay vibrant. Skipping primer is like skipping moisturizer: you can technically do it, but your results won’t be nearly as good. And finishing without a setting spray? Let’s just say your makeup might not survive your day.
Step 1: Mattify with Bonjour Babe Mattifying Face Primer
If shine is your enemy, meet your new BFF. The Bonjour Babe Beauty’s Mattifying Face Primer is specially designed to:
- Blur the look of pores for a smoother finish.
- Control oil throughout the day so your t-zone doesn’t turn into a disco ball.
- Create a long-lasting grip that helps foundation, BB cream, or concealer stick without sliding.
Just apply a pea-sized amount after moisturizer, focusing on oily areas like your forehead, nose, and chin. The lightweight formula keeps skin feeling soft—not cakey—so you get that photo-ready matte finish every time.
Step 2: Prime & Perfect (Options for Every Skin Type)
While the Mattifying Primer is a must-have for oily or combo babes, Bonjour Babe also has primers to suit every skin type:
- Camera Ready Foundation Primer – Clear: Smooths fine lines and gives a velvety base. Perfect for dry or combination skin that doesn't want to be too matte.
- Pearl Eye Primer: Locks in eyeshadow for crease-free glam.
Pair the primer to your skin type, and you’ve got the perfect first layer for a foundation that won’t budge.
Step 3: Set with Bonjour Babe Hydrating Setting Spray
You’ve blended, buffed, and baked—now it’s time to lock it all in. The Bonjour Babe Hydrating Setting Spray is a total game-changer because it:
- Locks makeup in place for hours without feeling heavy.
- Hydrates and refreshes thanks to its antioxidant-rich formula.
- Refines pores and balances oil while keeping skin looking radiant.
- Doubles as a midday refresher mist when your makeup needs a quick pick-me-up.
Simply mist evenly across your face in an “X” and “T” motion after makeup is complete. The result? A soft, natural glow that keeps your look intact whether you’re running errands, working a 12-hour shift, or dancing all night long.
Pro Tips for a Flawless Finish
- Layer wisely: Always apply skincare first, then primer, then foundation.
- Less is more: Don’t over-apply primer—too much can cause pilling.
- Refresh on the go: Toss the Hydrating Setting Spray in your bag for instant touch-ups.
- Mix & match primers: Use the Mattifying Primer on your t-zone and a hydrating option on dry areas for a custom routine.
