Velvet

I received this in my goodie bag at NZFW and it is amazing, it is a bit pricey and I personally wouldn't of bought it otherwise but now I have tried it and seen how amazing it is I will repurchase. It goes on smoothly and makes your skin feel like velvet. My make up applies nicely and stays on, does not fade around the nose and cheek area where it normally did.

Tips: apply with your fingers so it works the primer into your skin. Do not use a brush.

New Fave!

I have really oily skin and I'm always after the perfect combination of primer and foundation - think I've found it!! The primer is easy to apply and blend, you don't need a lot of product to get an even coverage for your base. I'll often pop a tiny but on my eyelids after applying foundation and have found that it also keeps my eyeshadow from creasing throughout the day. This product keeps my face looking even and I've never had any "cake-i-ness" with it where I usually get that round my nose quite a bit.

Amazing Primer

I love this smashbox primer it goes on so smoothly, it has the most amazing feel about it, I find it makes my foundation look a lot better when I have this primer on, and makes my makeup last a whole day.

Tips: A little goes a long way, I purchase mine of strawberry net, I find it to be cheaper :-)

Picture Perfect Ready

I often find in photos that my face is a little shiny. Enter Smashhbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer! It glides on so well that you only need to use a little bit of it. It stops all shininess in pics. Added bonus is that it makes your skin feel amazingly soft and smooth after application!

Tips: Only use a little bit in your problem shiny areas. You don't need to put it all over your face to achieve the desired results

Silky smooth finish

This is the best primer I have used, I have tried a couple of different ones but this one was definitely worth the money. A little bit covers your whole face so it does last a long time. It's amazingly smooth and soft, leaving your skin feeling like a perfect canvas for your make-up. Even though I don't wear foundation every day it's also a great base for tinted moisturiser. It's fantastic around the eye and lip area, stops your make-up sitting in any fine lines that may be lurking. It keeps your make-up fresh looking all day long.

Tips: You don't need to use moisturiser underneath your make-up, this primer is smooth and moisturising but doesn't leave a greasy residue, so it won't absorb your make-up

A Must Have Primer

This is one of those pricey items that I think IS worth the price tag.

A little goes a long way so this will last you for a while! This primer makes my skin feel super soft and smooth. It is really easy to spread and blend into the skin and has a really silky feel to it. I find using my fingers to apply this gives the best result as you can really spread and pat it into the skin.

Pricey but worth it

Another great primer!! So smooth, foundation lasts so much longer without smudging off. Small amount goes a long way, so although its pricey it lasts ages.

Results!

While I don’t like the feel of this – it feels suffocating as opposed to hydrating & moisturizing, I cannot deny the results. It definitely serves it’s purpose, keeping foundation in place all day.
