Sephora Brand Smoothing Primer

2 people recommended this item

Description

One of the best primers I have found for the price Significantly cheaper than most of the brands on the market, it really does exactly as it's supposed to do. I'm rarely without a primer, and this is the one I reach for the most.

Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer

3 people recommended this item

Description

When I need to pull out the heavy armour, I reach for my Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer in Green. It is excellent for neturalizing redness and ruddiness, especially in the cheek area. Pricey, but worth it.

Laura Geller Spackle: Primer

2 people recommended this item

Description

The pump is the best part of this product, as well as the iridescent blue that you can just barely see in this product. I'm not sure that it actually does anything, but it's very pretty to look at. This is another recommendation just because of the price - you get a fair amount of product that will last you some time for a very reasonable price.

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation

4 people recommended this item

Description

I cannot contain my excitement on this foundation!!
its Oil Free- so it is lightweight, wont clog your pores
Water Resistant- long lasting, wont slide off your face
Matifying- reduces shine and appearance of Sebum

Full coverage if you cross hatch with a brush, medium with a sponge or fingertips. A little bit goes a long way with this foundation. The shades range from porcelain white to ebony and everything in between!!

* Oil in foundation is there to Stabilize the color (so it wont change on you) So when selecting an OIL FREE foundation let it set for about 5 minutes or select a shade lighter than what appears optimal. When the oil in your face reacts with the foundation it will OXIDIZE and turn a deeper color.

Benefit Cosmetics Some Kind-A Gorgeous Cream Foundation

First to recommend

Description

This is my go-to foundation when I'm in a hurry, it's a weekend, or I just don't need the coverage. I would describe it as half primer, half foundation, and you don't need either of those products if you're using this.

Too Faced Magic Wand Illuminating Foundation: Liquid Foundation

First to recommend

Description

Another timesaver: the brush is built right in. Simply click the button and product comes through the brush. I'm liking this right now for a quick and easy application for a casual day. Doesn't deliver too much coverage, and the finish really is beautiful.

Make Up For Ever High Definition Microfinish Loose Powder

3 people recommended this item

Description

Absolutely the best face powder ever. Previously I was a MAC Studio Fix convert, but this powder gives a flawless finish like no other that I have seen. A little goes a long way, so this $30 container will last you a long, long time.

Description

In the spring and summer, I never go a day without using this product. I love the sheer tint of color it gives with just a touch of glimmer. Not sparkle, not shimmer, just a subtle touch of glimmer.

Packaged in a precious, genie-like bottle, Eyeshadow Primer Potion is an ultra-sheer, totally nude eye base that glides on with the wave of a wand and then disappears instantly. It's the ultimate eye prep for smoother, longer-lasting, crease-proof eyeshadow.
