FAVORITE: PRIMERS

I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT PRIMER! The moment I started using primer under my foundation, I was hooked!!!

The whole purpose of a primer is to help fill in any large pores, fine lines and uneven spots so that the next products you apply to your skin will go on smooth and even, making your makeup look flawless and last all day.

I've tested numerous primers and found that these primers do not break me out. Some of my favorite primers range from drugstore to high-end (shown above). Here are a few of my favorites:
