Primer First!

As per request….

People always ask, “How do celebrities always have smooth, perfect skin?” … “Why does their makeup stay on all night?” … “What step am I missing?”

Well ladies (and some gents), the answer is PRIMER.  Priming the skin is uber important. A good primer can enhance your makeup, make your skin look flawless and keep your makeup stay put.

I chose three of my favorite primers to showcase because they worked well with my skin.  However, one of my favorite makeup gurus gives a comprehensive list of her favorite primers for different complexions.





Sephora truly makes an overall great primer. The product has a smooth jelly consistency.  After you apply this primer, your skin feels like it has a shield of flexible protection.  When you put your foundation on, it will literally glide over your skin.  It’s amazing – trust me.  And you won’t break the bank.







I use this primer for day application only because it’s SPF 15.  The product’s consistency is of sunscreen and light lotion.   I wouldn’t use this primer for special events or when you go out at night – it doesn’t keep your makeup stay as long as other brands. (But the SPF 15 and light application is ideal for daily use.)






This is my ultimate favorite primer of all time.  It was made for photo shoots and red carpet makeup.  My mother uses it, too.  Perfection is the best word to describe how you will look and feel after you apply!
