Whats In My Make-Up Bag #2

Primers:

A frequent question I get from clients is why make up primers are so important and is worth it. I myself did not think primers were important for the longest time until I actually tried them. A primer not only creates a protective barrier between your make up and your skin but it also helps your make up last longer and some even give a more matte finish!! Ive tried 3 total primers ever and ended up only liking 2 of them. 

1) Nivea for Men aftershave

Now I know this may seem a little strange to use this aftershave. I saw one of the youtube make up gurus rave about using this so I tried itand now use this everyday! I have combination skin so this has been absolutely perfect and its half the cost of the fancy primers! Highly recommend!!

2) Benefit Cosmetics PoreFessional face primer
I got this as a free sample and It was surprisingly amazing! I thought it was going to feel more greasy or oily but its really great when I feel like my skin is more dry! totally love and recommend it!!

The one I wasn't impressed with
Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

This was the first primer I had ever bought. Now, if you are a fan of this thats totally fine but for me and my skin it was horrible. It feels like greasy Vaseline to me. my skin felt so oily and i didnt feel like it worked well with my make up. Big giant thumbs down for me. 

My favorite Mascara:

Being the Tarte Junkie I am, of coarse I use Tartes Lights camera lashes mascara. I have Also tried their Tartiest Pro Mascara which is also amazing!!
