Apply a small amount of Runway Realness Tinted Primer with your fingers or a makeup sponge in a thin, even layer, avoiding the eye area. Don't use a makeup brush, it will just drag the primer around. Wait a few minutes for the primer to set before applying Manifest Pro HD Cream Foundation. The trick with any primer is to make sure it’s applied in a small dime-to-nickel-size amount and it's fully blended in first.

Start off small and tailor the amount of primer you use based on your skin type. Someone with extremely dry skin that tends to absorb makeup more quickly can handle a quarter-size dollop of primer, whereas someone with oily skin should stick to the bare minimum because it sits on the surface longer. Once you get into half-dollar territory, you've gone overboard. A little goes a long way with Runway Realness Tinted Primer, and too much can sabotage your makeup look before you ever get to create it.
