Who doesn't love a good ol' primer?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with these little gems, allow me to break it down for you:
The main purpose of a primer is to increase the staying power of your make-up. It can also reduce shine and the appearance of pores.
Generally primer can be applied all over and it can be worn alone or under/above your make-up. They ensure for smoother and easier foundation application.
It's a very versatile and handy product to have on hand. There are also primer products designed specifically for eyes and lips.
I normally use Benefit's POREfessional or Lancome's La Base Pro. These two have been in my collection for a while now and I absolutely love them.
Clinique Superprimer Face Primers* has an oil-free formula. This primer aims to smooth skin's texture, allowing for even foundation application. It comes in five tinted formulas, designed for any specific skin care needs you may have. The formula includes lightweight silicone polymers that instantly perfects the appearance of pores, wrinkles and fine lines.
• Yellow tinted primer: Corrects redness for an even base.
• Pink tinted primer: Colour corrects lacklustre skin for a radiant base.
• Soft, pearlized bronze tinted primer: Corrects ashiness on complexions of a deeper tone for a healthy looking base.
• Peach tinted primer: Helps to correct dark spots, acne scars and areas of hyperpigmentation for a brighter complexion.
• Lavender tinted primer: Corrects colour in sallow skin for a healthy base.
There is also a Universal Face Primer which has a colourless formula, great for the lady who doesn't have any particular concern.
I have been using this primer in the bronze formula for darker skin tones. I apply it lightly to my t-zone and cheeks before my foundation. I've found that it gives my skin a soft glow and keeps my foundation looking fresh and dewy.
I do find that my POREfessional primer by Benefit is better for reducing the appearance of pores, but I do like this primer - mainly for the glow it gives my skin.
Obviously these primers have been formulated to work best with Clinique foundations, but they work just as well with others.
