3 Great Makeup Primers

If I’m wearing makeup all day or going to be in pictures, a makeup primer is a necessity for me. A good primer should fill in pores and fine lines, smooth your skin, and balance oil production on your skin so that makeup goes on smooth and stays in tact all day. I have three favorite primers which I choose according to the occasion…

Best Makeup Primer for Everyday

Korres Face Primer – This primer does an awesome job of filling in my pores and leaving my skin smooth for foundation application. The formula is 99% natural and contains no silicone, plus is suitable for all skin types. This primer also never clogs my pores nor makes me break out. It’s great for basic, everyday use for errands, school, or the office.

Best Makeup Primer for Photos

Chanel Base Lumiere Illuminating Makeup Base – If I weren’t so concerned about using up this primer (due how pricey it is) I’d be using it like everyday! Chanel Illuminating Makeup Base primer makes skin look totally flawless worn under foundation. Pores seem to disappear, skin glows, and I don’t have a problem with oil control all day. It’s amazing.

Best Makeup Primer for Combination/Oily Skin

Illamasqua Matt Primer SPF20 – To keep mild-moderate oily skin under control, Illamasqua’s Matt Primer will do the trick. If you have moderate to very oily skin I would suggest using a mattifying moisturizer underneath to extend the oil-control benefits to last the day.
