The Top Three Series: Primers

Trying to find the right makeup to suit your skin type and your preference can be very challenging. My top three series will hopefully help make-up newbies to find great products.

I'm going to start the series with primers.  The right Foundation Primer can help create a flawless look.  Having oily skin, finding a great primer was quite difficult but after loads of trial and error I have finally found three primers I would use over and over again. They are ranked in order of preference.






1.17 Miracle Matte Skin Primer.
 I absolutely love this primer it is amazing. I recently went on holiday to the Carribean and I wore makeup occasionally and this primer held my makeup together in the blazing sun. It did not budge as soon as you put it on you know it's soooo good because it mattifys your face. I highly recommend this product If u have oily skin. I think it would be great for a night out. I have repurchased this primer and will continue to do so. I absolutely love it and for me nothing else comes close. The price is fairly reasonable at £5.00 as a little goes a long way. This primer is sold at boots.

I wouldn't recommend this primer for anyone with dry skin however just because it's sooo mattifying.

2. Collection Primed and Ready Smoothing Makeup Primer
This is a great primer which actually does what it says and leaves a smooth finish. It is also mattifying without being drying. It gives a dewy skin look without being oily. I will continue to repurchase this primer.The cost is £2.99 and is available from Boots and Superdrug. 

3.GOSH Foundation Primer Classic
    This primer would be a great everyday primer for those with combination skin. I wouldn't say it's very mattifying as it leaves a very dewy finish, so it probably wouldn't be too good for super oily skin. The gel like consistency of this primer creates a smooth base for foundation.This product is a great everyday primer but the other two products are so amazing that I always find myself reaching for them.
This primer is available from GOSH makeup stands at both Boots and Superdrug for £9.99.


Thanks for reading.
