So many different brands always bring out new products that are supposed to help your makeup to last longer. Primers like the  ‚POREfessional’ by Benefit were hyped so much because they make your pores disappear and make your foundation stay on a lot longer.

But there is a trick that probably none would ever have thought of if YouTube beauty guru Nikkie from NikkieTutorials hadn’t shared it with the world. She used the After Shave Balsam by Nivea and applied it before doing her makeup on her entire face.

Tests and results show that this product is not only extremely effective but that it also surpasses any primer on the market. The reason for the effectiveness of the product is the ingredient glycerin, which creates a slightly sticky surface and so makes the makeup stick to the face better .

So although the after shave balsam is originally designed as a product for men, it works as a phenomenal makeup primer for women. Here, we have not only a super versatile product but we also save a lot of money because most popular primers like the POREfessional are classified as high-end makeup products.
