Top 10: Best Lip Primers in India with Reviews and Price List
How are your Christmas preparations going on? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you. I watched ‘The Martian’ movie a few weeks back with my team mates in office and it was so thrilling that I was holding onto the edge of my seat. Do watch it, its awesome. Today’s post is about lip primers. While applying lipsticks we face the problems of dry, chapped, flaky lips which results in cakey, peeling lipsticks. Lip primers come handy during such times. They not only hydrate your lips but increase the wear time of your lipsticks just like face primers do for face. I’m listing down the best lip primers you can buy in India. No Indian brand has lip primers surprisingly.
What is a lip primer?
Lip primer is like a foundation/base for your lip makeup. It helps to smoothen lips, fill in lines and creases and facilitate easy application of lipstick/lip gloss. Also, it enhances the staying power of your lip products and prevent them from feathering and fading.
How to use?
Lip primer is not meant to be used on its own. Apply a thin coating after exfoliating your lips and before applying lipstick. Allow it to dry for a few seconds before proceeding with other products.

I agree that a lot of them above are insanely priced but thats their imported price. Internationally you can buy them much cheaper. But since none of the Indian brands make lip primers, we have to rely on these. All the above lip primers can be bought from Amazon, Strawberry.NET, SkinStore, etc. Which ones have you tried? Share your favorite picks.
