I keep forgetting my primer needs to sit before applying foundation lol. How long should I let it sit for? I'm using hourglass primer and Estée Lauder foundation.

I let my primer sit as I wash my hands and get my foundation ready (shaking it up and putting it on the back of my hand). That's usually enough time for me (:

I will normally put it on, go to the kitchen, wash my hands, make a cup of coffee and wet my beauty blender :) If I feel like it needs a little more time I will normally start doing my brows and then start doing my face makeup :)

I usually apply my primer then start doing my hair or like Sabrina said I go make my latte & let my dog out then go back and start. I shower then start my skincare routine (cleanse, exfoliate, serums, moisturizer with spf.. ) then apply my primer before I even go in my vanity room so that way it's applied early enough in the morning I never think much about it I just do whatever else I need to do before I sit down and get ready

I put my primer on and then get all the products out I'm using for the day. That takes about 2-5 minutes :)

I wait about 5 minutes and in the meantime I'm working on my hair or getting dressed.

I wait anywhere from 3-5 minutes while I wash my hands and get my brushes and makeup ready to go. I don't suggest you apply any foundation or concealer until at least 3 minutes have passed.
