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?
They both sound great
