By now, you've all probably heard the buzz surrounding makeup primers. And they are definitely worth the hype! With a primer, your makeup will glide on smoother and wear a lot longer. Always apply your primer after your moisturizer (make sure it's completely absorbed first) and before your foundation. Different primers offer everything from mattifying qualities & anti-aging benefits, to acne treatments & skin tone correcting qualities. I've tried nearly ALL of them (no, seriously) and I keep coming back to the same one....
Sephora, $39
...Smashbox's original, oil-free, Photo Finish Foundation Primer. For years, my only gripe was the airless pump packaging - it didn't like lying down in my makeup kit & constantly had air bubbles in it which would clog the opening. (SO embarrassing having to repeatedly smack the thing on a counter in front of my clients!) Thankfully, the lovely people at Smashbox recently repackaged it into a smaller, kit friendly, squeeze tube. It's worth mentioning that the new tube is a few dollars cheaper than the old packaging - for the same amount of product! Photo Finish is composed of an antioxidant blend of grapeseed extract, green tea, and vitamins A & E. It smoothes the skin & actually reduces the appearance of pores & fine lines. And the oil-free formula keeps your t-zone shine free! Now really, what more could you ask for from one product!? Try it once and I swear you'll be hooked.. I am! :)
