This has been any of the most ‘asked’ questions and single of the most important decisions to do for your makeup kit. A primer is in the same state an important step and is considered as one of the bridges between your hide care and makeup regimes to come by that flawless complexion. A daily moisturizer through sunscreen itself is a great priming operator (since they have the same silicones) mete an additional primer adds to the longevity of the makeup true very efficiently. A primer is the pristine step of your makeup routine in whatever place and whenever you do makeup.

I give credit to the makeup primers were inspired from ‘paints’ especially wall paints. To augment the longevity of the paint and to interfere it weather proof, painters use ‘primers’ in betwixt the rough surfaced wall and the depict that has to be applied. A makeup primer does a resembling job. It helps the paint (settlement/makeup products) adhere better to the derm, helps resurface the skin texture, helps improve the longevity and diminish of the makeup products on the derm and so many more. With the adding of a sunscreen, Vit. A,C,E, Salicylic sharp, Hyaluronic Acid and other anti ageing and skin nourishing agents, Primers have evolved a parcel and thus become an integral interest of modern makeup. Now a days primers furthermore contain color correcting agents and mark various skin concerns. Hydrating and Illuminating primers assist take care of dry skins.

Its very an intelligent concept and very well consideration of and executed in the recent world of makeup. 

Primers primers primers there. Each brand has one to proposal and I have my favorites.

So lets take a look……….

Today I shall exist discussing on my favorite makeup primers because the face, the ones that I conversion to an act on my clients at almost all makeup jobs and then there are some that I use on myself also. (I shall be taking pictures on the ~side of the web for the freedom from stiffness of doing this post. Soon I choose put the pictures of my hollowness kit too). This post shall essentially converse about face primers and some confounding eyeshadow primers that I use quotidian.

The primers that I use steady daily basis are oil controlling and meant because of predominantly oily skins. When it comes to drier skins, I use my discretion in the request and prefer to moisturize the derm thoroughly. With the climatic conditions I be in, I deal with a sort of combination and oily skins then I use these primers.



SMASHBOX Cosmetics – Photo Finish Foundation Primer LIGHT

This is the at the outset primer I started with. I had been doing my makeup inquiry for the longest time and from that time Smashbox is one of the pioneering brands in primers, I thinking of starting with this one. The ‘Light’ rendition is essentially made for oily, acne lying flat skins and does not clog pores (different others) and keeps the makeup verily long lasting and time proof during the term of the next 12 hrs (I havent observed any fading after 5 mins after the path of the 12th hr…lol…). This is completely silicone based primer and quite drying really (not for drier skins) and mattifies the assurance very efficiently and does not be conscious of being heavy. Smashbox makes a lot of other primers by color correcting agents etc. and they are equally fabulous. I am lusting after their Photofinish Luminizing Primer and Photofinish Color Correcting primer and shall persuade when my primers are over.



ESTEE LAUDER Matte Perfecting Primer

I may acquire the older packaging but I fust say that this primer is artlessly mind blowing and one of the most excellent mattifying primers I have used. This semi solid primer is simply marvelous. It hides pores like none one’s business. Mattifies skin for hours and the foundations just be enamoured of this primer especially the Guerlain Parure Extreme ones. The skin looks retexturized, resurfaced and plainly amazing. This is a shine rule primer and holds creme, liquid and triturate products really well and even in the harshest stipulations. This is my current primer notwithstanding weddings and bridal makeups and I shall practice it until its over and shall repurchase it again from Strawberrynet.com as Estee Lauder India does not wish it.

CLARINS Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch

I have been using this primer as one additive for hiding and concealing pores and jagged skin for quite a long time. Its else of a balm than a liquid and gaseous and a little dab goes a spun out way. I have always reserved this the same for extra oily skins and photoshoots and it does support me achieve a perfect complexion that photographs excessively well. Since they have discontinued this primer, I am looking because of other options and Benefit Porefessional may take its degree in order. 

CHANEL Base Lumiere – Illuminating Makeup Base

This is a primer that I use for myself. I simply love it of the same kind with it does brighten the skin free from any hints of visible shimmer. Being a pallid colored liquid, it can be a small piece intimidating but on skin it transforms into a disguise that helps the foundation glide and stay put for longer time. It may not promise pore refining but is moderately oil balancing and a exceedingly high quality primer. Its great towards oilier skins and does not acknowledge the foundation to oxidize. This is my personal favorite and I have no intentions without ceasing using this on clients.

LAURA MERCIER Foundation Primer – Oil Free

This is my fresh purchase and it happens to exist an oil free version of the oldest and principally legendary Laura Mercier primer. I be in possession of always wanted one and this was the right time to pick one as my other primers started exhausting. This is a illumine weight primer and holds the establishment really well. It does not be obliged any obvious pore refining effect and in reality does nothing to skin except priming. Just that its not dark weight and creates that thin bar. I liked it but its not my darling one.

ORIFLAME Perfecting Face Primer

I be in possession of loved this primer a lot considering the day it was launched. This is in reality fluidy and quite nice for stand over against and eyes. I have used this primer a part many times on models and cheapo clients who cannot bestow paying for better makeup (even nevertheless they are loaded with money…LOL). This is a simple not dark weight primer and does some justice to the foundation. 

GUERLAIN Meteorites Pearly White Light Perfecting Base

This is the in the greatest degree expensive primer I own and its virtuous perfect for any skin type. It has small silvery pearls that help illuminate the look and gives a lovely glow. It does a well-disposed job in hydrating and priming the pelt to receive foundation but the pearly sheen can enhance pores (by colonizing in them) and can mimic some oil sleek if not taken care of. Which is why I use it only on my pinnacle notch clients and whenever I paucity that pearly glow on the stand over against.

SHISEIDO Refining Primer Base SPF 15

 I goddess of ~ this primer. Its one of those primers that does it total and holds makeup for the longest end also has color correcting properties. It has a bit of apricot and lavender color (just noticeable on skin) which helps chasten sallowness and dullness and brighten the look visibly without adding any sheen or glisten. Its mattifying, pore refining and feels occult quality living up to the expectations human being has from Shiseido. 

DIOR Glow Maximizer

This is the latest primer what one. I got. Its so gorgeous and lives upto its speak of. I believe it has more of bright color enhancing properties and even though its a primer, I would essentially lay upon it only on the areas that I extremity to be highlighted. This primer positively imparts that lit from within bright color but oilies should stay alert. A fine primer which could also be a highlighter on skin on those days of dullness and sallowness.

Now is my WISH LIST and its a very large one…..

Clinique Super Primers – I lack to own this since quite a long time after they launched them. Waiting on this account that mine to finish as there is ~t one point storing too many primers. These are more of the most affordable primers in the function market.

I have heard of dignified reviews of Becca cosmetics’ Even Matte and Resurfacing Primers and I am mortal to try them out. Hope Becca is study of books this..LOL..I dont expect PRs end wouldn’t mind if I receive any.

This is my next power and definitely a well thought person. It does feel and look like Clinique’s Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector that is an excellent primer on its allow but not on my wish think proper due to its quantity. 

Too Faced Primed and Poreless does ground a lot for the primer that it is and its a pre-eminent purchase from Beautybay.

This is Pat McGrath’s dear primer and I want this badly. My friend Jigisha swears by it and I might do the same too.

Its not humanly practicable for any makeup artist to have a title to too many primers and my wish prefer is endless, so lets limit the portion here. I shall make another put for my favorite eyeshadow primers and the tint perfectors I love.
