It's a crime not to PRIME!

It sure is a crime not to prime, as Napoleon Perdis says. It preps the skin for makeup, helps to even out skin complexion, ensures makeup stays on longer and ensures a smooth makeup application! There are a heap of primers on the market, and they can range from high end (Hourglass, Napoleon Perdis, MAC and more), to drugstore (NYX, Chi Chi, L'Oreal and more). 

As I don't own every single primer on the planet, here are my favourite three...

1: Stila One Step Correct. 

This beautiful primer corrects skin tone and brightens. The three colours swirl together to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, minimises pores, hydrates and balances, all while controlling oil. The green minimises redness, the lavender counteracts yellow undertones, and the peach brightens, illuminates and helps diminish the appearance of sunspots. 

You get 30ml, and you can get it for $37.40 from beautybay.com. 

2: L'Oreal Lumi Magique. 

This is such a gorgeous primer. It's extremely glowy and illuminating. Putting it all over the face, followed by your foundation, makes it look like you're glowing from within. It keeps your foundation on really well too, which is also the point of it. 

You can get this 20ml primer from Priceline Pharmacy for approximately $25. 

3: NYX Angel Veil. 

This skin perfecting primer is velvety and oil free. It makes the skin feel light and smooth. It is quite a matte finish, so when the foundation goes on top, it does not leave a dewy finish. This is great for people with oil skin. This primer is a dupe for Hourglass Mineral Veil, but just a fraction of the price. You can get it from nyxcosmetics.com for approximately $16..bargain!
