Product Review: Primer


The makeup artist's secret to long-lasting makeup, primer was completely foreign to me until recently.  Thanks to Miss Glamorazzi, I'd heard of foundation primer but hadn't gotten any because I just hadn't wanted to spend the cash.  Instead, I'd only been using a $1 (YES $1) eyemake primer by e.l.f. that I'd picked up at Target.  But, during my first trip into Sephora a while back, I experienced the wonder that is primer. 

This particular primer (linked below) is the one that I purchased and it feels very light on my skin, and is very simple to use.  To apply, I take a makeup sponge a swipe all over my face.  Once applied, allow a minute to absorb into skin, and apply foundation as usual. 

While there are several different brands of primers with multiple formulations. I would recommend a water-based solution.  This will make the primer feel the lightest on your skin compared with other formulas.  But, everyone is different, and most places should let you test the formulas on your hands and let you pick the one that feels the best to you. 

But the best thing about makeup primers?  They actually work.  I instantly noticed a difference in how well my makeup help up once I began using primer.  For anyone looking to expand their collection into something more "adult" or "quality," I would definitely recommend investing in a quality primer.
