Today I'm sharing with you tips and suggestions about Foundation Primers! What's a foundation primer you ask? Its a MUST in your makeup collection. A foundation primer is a light weight base applied usually after your moisturizer and before your foundation. A prime does what its name suggests, primes the face for your makeup. Similar to priming a wall before you paint it!
In the priming process there are several benefits:
1.) Its going to give you the best possible results from your foundation. It will set a clean canvas for your foundation or powder to work with and provide even coverage.
2.) Depending on the primer you choose, it can help with oil control, acne, moisturize, or help with anti-aging benefits.
3.) A little bit goes a long way!! Primers are a little on the pricey side so I usually buy very small bottles of primer. It would take me a long time to go through a full size bottle. So save a little on $, spread out your foundation and grab a small travel size!
4.) You benefit from a flawless coverage!
Here are my top 3 favorite Foundation Primers:
1.) Hourglass VEIL Mineral Primer. $52.00. Mini Size $17.00.
This primer has so many benefits. It is creamy and lightweight. It minimizes the appearance of large pores, is water resistant, helps with oil control, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, contains SPF 15, and is vegan - yeah! Again, buy the travel size at Sephora to help with cost on this little guy. :)
2.) Arbonne Virtual Illusion Makeup Primer. $40.00.
I recently tried this primer from my Arbonne Consultant and was very delighted with its results. Arbonne is know around the world for their botanically created masterpieces in the cosmetic, body, health, and wellness categories. This primer named in Total Beauty's Top Primers is the smoothest of them all. It glides on like butter but leaves your skin feeling like silk! It provides a matte finish while its botanical ingredients contain anti-aging, toning, and vitamin benefits. I'm not sure if this comes in a travel size but you won't be disappointed in this one. I would recommend this primer for anyone who needs to maintain the moisture in their skin.

3.) Smashbox Photo Finish Light Foundation Primer. $36.00. Mini Size $16.00.
This primer was also on the list of Top Primers by Total Beauty, is flawless and well balanced. I chose to get the Light version of this primer because it is oil-free. This primer is going to help with those who have oily, acne prone, or sensitive skin. It will give you visibly soft skin and can actually be used with or without makeup! I use this one if I'm only going to wear a powder and no liquid foundation. Minimizes imperfections on the face and provides vitamin C! Again, a little bit goes a long way. I use about the size of a pencil eraser if not less. It absorbs quickly so effortlessly drape this airy light formula all over your face, eyelids included! This primer can be found at Smashbox, Sephora, or Ulta.
