PRIMERS AND POTIONS

I remember the days before I used cosmetic primers. My oily teenage skin made my foundation bleed, warp and flake and my eyeshadow lost its intensity before I even got home from school. Make-up primers have become more prevalent in the cosmetics industry and are a must have for any occasion.

I have a pretty decent primer and base collection from a few different brands. In this post, I will be displaying the primers and bases I use most often and why I think they're either awesome, or something you don't necessarily need in your daily routine.

Clean & Clear Shine Control Moisturizer is probably my favorite facial moisturizer of the moment. As the product states, it really does help control oil and shine and makes for a great foundation base IF you're not looking for it to last all day or into the evening. The reason I like it (for a quick fix) is not only the oil control, but it helps the liquid foundation I use blend better by creating a smoother surface on the skin. This lotion is very light but hydrating at the same time.
