No two ladies are the same when it comes to makeup. Products that are perfect for you don't always work on a friend and sometimes you'll try a much raved about product only to be left underwhelmed. Then there's the seemingly endless number of ways to apply your makeup and infinite combinations in which to use your products.
Since the whole 'prepping your skin' revolution took off it became clear that there were several different techniques for creating the perfect canvas for foundation. The most common options are;
- Primer - it's a crime not to prime! Primer lovers like the smooth and even canvas created by skin primers, that are created to create the perfect surface for foundation to adhere to.
- BB Cream - for some they offer the perfect level of coverage; for others, BB Creams create the base for foundation.
- Moisturiser - lots of people do nothing except moisturise before applying foundation. It can help prevent flaking.
- Blur Cream - designed to be used solo or under foundation, blur creams give an airbrush effect, blurring fine lines and blemishes.
- Powder - powder? Under foundation? Yes some ladies prefer to use powder first and then apply their foundation!
So what do you use under your foundation? Are you a primer convert or do you use something else? Why do you prefer your go-to method over other options and could you be swayed to change?

I use a primer when I have a big day or am going out somewhere that I want to have immaculate makeup for, day to day I use BB cream and layer on top of that :)
