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. 

What are your favorite primers?
