The Best Makeup Primers

All These Base Are Belong to You: Keep Your Face in Place

19

Lately, I've become intolerant of touch-ups and creases in my makeup (especially around my eyes), so bases that keep my foundation and concealer on and looking fresh are a hot topic. I'm personally a big fan of Too Faced Primed & Poreless, because it keeps everything in the world on even though I tend to get a little oily. If that's not for you, fret not; there are a ton of products out there that could be the perfect fit, depending on your skin type. To examine your options, check out the plethora of primers below.

I just started using Prime Time for Oily Skin (by Bare Escentuals) and I am actually pretty impressed. I had tried the regular formula, as well as other silicone based (I think, is it dimethicone based or something?) primers and they clogged my pores like no other. It gives a natural finish and helps keep me oil free but doesn't make my face look dry or chalky.

I have Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) and Too Faced Shadow Insurance (TTSI) eyeshadow primer. The UDPP smells toxic and the TTSI I haven't tried yet. I'm with KadBunny, I need to start wearing eyeshadows more.

lmao Bella you just got way cooler. :D The primers are nice too. ;) I've still got my Shadow Insurance from two years ago; I wonder if I should be worried? I really need to stop being shy with the eyeshadow!

I like Gosh face primer and MAC point pots for my eye-lids

smashbox is the best but Philosophy is good and its cheaper. Theres also a good and cheap face primer made by rimmel but i think there discontinuing it becuase its harder and harder to find.

Someone explain the title....please.
Glad someone loves the title because I find it uber confusing, and can't even read the article because the title seems all grammatically incorrect.
