What's Primer all About?

Primer
Not every woman incorporates Primer into their daily beauty regime. But why spend all that time putting your makeup on, just for it to slip off during the day? This is what primer is for:
-Creates a smooth even surface for your makeup
-"Catches" and keeps the makeup you put on
-Minimizes pores
-Makes makeup last longer throughout the day
-Allows makeup's truest colors to be seen

Primers come in all price ranges from drugstore to designer.
Here are some I have tried:
Rimmel's Fix and Perfect - Approx. $8
Looks like a skin toned foundation. I will definitely repurchase this item.


Loreal's Studio Fix Primer Approx. $12
Fluffy Feeling - "A dab will do ya" - I will repurchase.


MAC's Mattifying Primer $18
A Pea size amount is good. A slick (but not greasy finish.)

Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer $32 (Sephora)
One small pump is enough. Product must be stored upside down or else it will not pump out. Very similar to MAC's Mattifying Primer.


After using all these products, I feel they have all worked about the same. I wear a primer every day.


EYESHADOW PRIMER!!!

I highly highly highly recommend every woman to wear eyeshadow primer!
It does everything above and:
-prevents creasing!!
-allows the eyeshadow's true color to show

I have used and will not stop using Urban Decay's Primer Potion $18 (Sephora)
Though it may seem pricey, all you need is a swipe and your shadow is in place ALL day and you get the most bang for your buck with no reapplication and no creasing!!
