Character 8905823024221 All Day Essential Base & Primer

Look, if you want your makeup to actually stay put all day, you need a solid base—and that's exactly what the Character All Day Essential Base is all about. This primer isn't just about smoothing things out; it actually does some good for your skin too. The lightweight formula wakes up tired-looking skin and gives you that lit-from-within glow that lasts from your morning coffee to happy hour. It's packed with Vitamin E (the fancy name is Tocopheryl Acetate), which basically shields your skin from all the junk in the air while keeping it hydrated. Plus, there's beeswax in there that locks in moisture so your skin stays happy and healthy-looking all day long.

This thing works for pretty much everyone—all skin types—and you get a decent 30ml bottle that'll last you a while. It adapts to your skin tone, so you don't get that weird mask effect. Using it is super easy: just dot it around your face, blend it out with your fingers or a makeup sponge, and you're good to go. It creates the perfect canvas for your foundation whether you're heading to work, running errands, or going out for the night. Bottom line? This primer keeps everything looking smooth and fresh without any of that cakey nonsense.
