To kick off the start of my new blog, I am going to share with you some of my all-time makeup fave’s and how I use ‘em! This will be a four day series, so be sure to check back in to hear about all the products.
Living in South Florida, the high temperatures and humidity can cause what I like to call - “Instant Melt Face.” Even if you don’t live in a sauna, you know what I’m talking about to some degree - little patches of foundation wearing down, making you look like a leper. Or eye makeup running down your face until you resemble a raccoon. Both of which make you look super hot. Primer is key in preventing this from happening, it’s like the backboard of your face puzzle; it’s what helps keeps that shizz together.
I know some of you are thinking that primers are a waste of money, since you are essentially dropping dough on something you can’t even see; but oh dear friends are you so wrong. You know how stylist always say dirty hair holds curl better? Same concept here, only the primer is your dirt. I actually like to use two - Benefit’s The Porefessional in the t-zone and bareMinerals’ Prime Time on the rest of my face.
Don't let Melt Face happen to you.
The Porefessional will sink into every one of your stinkin pores and will fill them in so your foundation glides on smoothly over them. It will make your nose look like a baby’s bottom. And while I am sure you wouldn’t want to put your nose near a baby’s bottom, you wouldn’t hate it if it looked like one. It also mattifies the skin and minimizes redness. This is great for me, since my t-zone tends to be on the greasy side and is where I am most red.
Prime Time doesn’t really do any magic tricks (like making your pores disappear), but it does make you skin feel great and gets it ready for the rest of your makeup. Outside of my t-zone, the rest of my skin is on the drier side, so I find The Porefessional doesn’t work as well for me in those areas. Prime Time gets rid of any flakey spots and nourishes my skin with plant extracts and vitamins. I love when makeup is actually good for my face; makes me feel like such a multi-tasker.
Alright class, tomorrows topic - Concealer. Be sure to bring your pen and paper!
