Flawless Foundation, is hard to resist!

The Benefits of Using Foundation Primer:

  • Primer makes the skin ready for the application of foundation.
  • It smooths out fine lines and wrinkles by lightly filling them in and creating a flat, even canvas.
  • Primer  diminishes the appearance of large pores by coating them and filling in the uneven skin texture they produce in the skin.
  • Primers helps to reduce shine  in oily and combination skin
  • It keeps foundation, eyeshadow e.t.c  on the skin longer, lessening the need for touching up throughout the day. T
  • Foundation primer also helps to absorb any excess oils this  reduces the shine that occurs in combination or oily skin types .
  • For drier skin types, the silicones in primer help to trap moisture, keeping skin hydrated and smooth all day long.
  • By using a foundation  primer  you will be able to significantly less  makeup or cover-up.

*Remember : Foundation makeup primer helps you achieve and maintain clear skin because it acts as a barrier between your foundation and skin, by preventing your foundation from being directly  absorbed  into your skin.

Oily Skin Benefits From Foundation Primer:

I have oily skin and it’s both a blessing and a curse. It’s good to have oily skin because it ages better than dry skin, but at the same time, it’s no fun when it comes to being more prone to breakouts and a shiny face (nobody finds a shiny face sexy!). It’s hard to maintain a fresh makeup look when your skin gets shiny 5 minutes after you’ve already applied your foundation and set it using a powder.

I was introduced to Bare Escentuals Prime Time Foundation Primer (Oil Control) by a good friend who also happens to be one of those friends that have every makeup product on earth! Although I do not wear foundation on a daily basis, when I do, I usually have a routine in place to ensure that my skin is taken care of first and foremost.

My Routine Before I apply Foundation:

1. Wash my face

2.Use Toner (to close the pores and remove pore clogging oil!)

3.Put on moisturizer

4. blot away excess with an oil blotting sheet

5. Put on Bare Escentuals Prime Time Foundation Primer (oil control)

6. Put on my foundation using a foundation brush

7. Set the foundation with clear powder

8. I am out the door!

Your foundation will last all day!
