It's all about that base, bout that base, no trouble! Today's Tip Tuesday as about a makeup must have, a primer!
Why use a primer?
When you're painting and decorating (or getting someone else to do it, right?) if you prime a surface with an undercoat the paint goes on smoother, fine cracks get covered and the overall finish is more flawless.
Well, the EXACT same thing applies to your lovely face. Using a primer takes all of two seconds but really can make a world of difference.
A good quality primer provides the perfect base for your makeup. A primer can minimise pores, fill in fine lines, keep oil at bay and make your foundation go on smoother and last much longer. The biggest misconception is that a primer might clog your pores - a good quality primer does the exact opposite.
I never ever used to wear a primer but I tried one out and now I couldn't be without one. If you find your foundation doesn't stay put or you're reaching for your powder before midday a primer could really be your new best friend.
If you find your eyeshadow creases a primer will keep your eyes looking as pretty as they did when your first applied your makeup.
Just apply a 5p sized drop to your face, concentrating on your T-zone, and take a few seconds to smooth it all in. A little dot on your eyelids is a must too.
I used to use Benefit's Porefessional but I've now converted to Younique's Moodstruck Glorious Face & Eye Primer (£30). It's oil-free & contains antioxidant hero vitamin E & can be used with both powder and liquid makeup. (Glorious is MUCH better value for money too!).
EXTRA tip use a dot of primer mixed with your eye shadow to create an intense long wearing colour splash!
I'm off to work on my base!
