THE PRiMER EDiT

Since I first dabble into make-up and cosmetics, the biggest discovery that I found is using primer. Using primer before my foundation helps a lot in one way or another. There is a big misconception though surrounding around primers. Most of us, including me, thought that the only sole purpose of primer is to make our foundation stays longer. Obviously that is not the case as nowadays, primers have a whole loads of different purposes. I went into a primer spree at one point and after trying too many, I compile my top favourite primers.

PRiMER SERiES: SMASHBOX

My most used primer is from the famous Smashbox primer range which is the Color Correcting Primer. Smashbox offers a wide range of primers that suits different skin needs. I chose the color correcting one as I always suffer with some redness or blemishes in my face.

PRiMER SERiES: MAC Skin Visage

I will start my primer series with Mac Prep and Prime Skin Visage as this is the first primer that I own. I got a sample of this, 2 or 3 years ago and fell in love with it and bought the full size after finishing it. This primer is silicone base and very smooth to apply. It has light reflecting particles that I can describe as eensy weensy glitters. These particles reflects light thus giving you a glow-y look after putting on the foundation. It doesn't look very glittery, don't worry. It gives the right amount of shine to achieve a perfect dewy look. As it has light reflecting particles, this primer is best to use with dewy finished foundation than matte ones.
