Product of the Day- Primers

Today's POTD are two different primers that I use on a daily basis for 

prolonging my foundation and eye shadows. 

I have had friends ask me before (especially that have oily skin) how to get their 

make-up to last all day without running off and my answer is very simple. 

PRIMERS. 

There are many different primers on the market and you can spend a lot or you can

find some really affordable options at your local drugstore. I personally have opted

for the cheaper route b/c I feel like while it's a very important product it's not something

you actually see. 

My current foundation and shadow primers are:

On left is my foundation primer by Rimmel, Fix & Perfect. As you can see it claims to 

smooth skin and minimize pores. I can't say that I really tell a big difference in my pores, but

it does help my foundation last all day. This product actually comes out an orange color, but no

need to fret b/c it blends in to your skin without any color. It does have a different smell that I'm 

not sure how to describe. I personally like it a lot. It's not something that lingers or you will 

smell throughout the day, but when first applied you do smell. Retails at drugstores 

for around $5.

The primer on the right is for my eyeshadows and it's by NYX (sold at Ulta). It's 

packaged much like a mascara so the applicator comes out in a wand form. This is a nude

color that blends in to your skin. This makes such a difference in getting your shadows to last

all day without creasing, running, or fading! This retails at Ulta for around $5. 

These both are great products that will remain apart of my routine. I will never go back to not

using a foundation or shadow primer. Once you see the pay off of a lasting look it's a quick step you

will enjoy adding to your routine.
