The winter weather can cause havoc for our skin, with low humidity, cold temperatures and icy winds leaving it dry, peeling and rough.
Apart from feeling tight and irritated, dry skin can make it harder to get a smooth, flawless makeup application, which is why a primer should be one of your go-to beauty products during the winter.
Although upgrading your skincare routine to include more hydrating products is a given, it’s also the perfect time of year to give your makeup regime a little overhaul too, and adding in a new primer that promises to smooth and hydrate your skin is essential.

If you’re not sure which primer to add to your collection, why not take a little bit of inspiration from none other than celebrity makeup artist Rae Morris, who’s responsible for creating the flawless complexions of A-listers like Naomi Campbell, Cate Blanchett, Pink, Jessica Biel and Miranda Kerr.
Rae revealed that she loves using a skin tint or primer when working with celeb clients, particularly when it comes to creating the ‘clean girl’ flawless skin look.
The clean girl aesthetic blew up on TikTok this year with over 7.1 billion views, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon, which is why we’re more than happy to follow her recommendations.

As it turns out, Rae’s favourite primer to use on her roster of high-profile clients is actually the super affordable Freezeframe BB Blur, £32 here, which is a blurring skin tint moisturiser that contains probiotics to help instantly blur, smooth and even your skin whilst repairing its barrier function.
Perfect for combatting winter’s drying, damaging effect on your skin, the primer’s probiotics help feed your skin’s microbiome , and it works as a four-in-one product that’s a tinted moisturiser, skin-barrier defence, airbrush perfector and anti-aging gel all in one.
It has colour-adapting, skin-matching technology that matches your skin perfectly and creates an instant filter that blues away imperfections and shine. If you prefer to pick your shade, though, Iconic London’s Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint, £27 here , has 18 different shades to choose from and offers a similar lightweight skin tint that also blends into your skin, blurring pores, dark spots and uneven texture.

It’s not just Rae who’s a big fan of the Freezeframe BB Blur, £32 here , though, as it boasts some impressive rave reviews from other shoppers who can’t get over how light and natural it is.
“I haven’t found anything as good I’m so glad I tried it. My skin looks smoother after I’ve applied it and my friends have noticed it too,” said one, whilst another wrote: “Love this product it looks very natural like you’re not wearing makeup at all.”
A third agreed: “The BB Blur does what it says., matches your skin colour automatically. Very light, feels like you have nothing on.”
