hi guys,
im getting married in 2 months time inshALLAH..im not a make-up fan but as everyone expects a new bride to wear some maek-up,im planning to go out and buy some stuff ..!!
i thought ill start with a primer :wink:
so,wat primer should i get??n when do u apply the primer??
oh yes,i have oily-combination skin,with some scars :frowning:

Re: primer

The best primer for me is the one from makeup for professionals. You use it right before applying your makeup, and it works wonders.

Re: primer

use the oil-free smashbox

WAT IS IT CALLED AND WHERE CAN U GET IT FROM PLEASE THANKS

....SMASHBOX photofinish is fantastic-It smooths out the complxion and gives a stunning finish to the makeup...:)

Re: primer

thansk guys..ill go and check it out..

Re: primer

MAC primer is good too... The one with SPF 15... you can also wear it during the day and the makeup stays all day long.

i think smashbox is availble at debenhams,havent tried itnthough...

Re: primer

You can use either one of these BEFORE the foundation application for fantastic results:
-Skin Prep Fx by Cover Fx Cosmetics
- Smashbox photo finish foundation primer
- makeup forever microperfecting primer

not sure where you are based, otherwise I would tell you where to get these from.

For eyelids - Urban Decay primer potion is GREAT! doesn't crease the concealer or eyeshadow

before you jump into buying anything, please give it a test drive at sephora etc. Smashbox photo finish does wonders for people but it always makes me break out coz I am allergic to silicone. I wish I tried it before i decided to buy two bottles of it (idiot!!!)

Re: primer

okay don't laugh....but i use Monistat's Anti-Chafing relief powder gel...yes on my face, and it works like a charm. if you even google it you will see the numerous reviews of women who have compared it to smashbox primers, and i promise you its the same thing!! the only difference is that this is only 6 bucks while smashbox is expensive! your skin feels so smooth, and foundation goes on soo flawlessly...im a makeup junkie, and i really don't see a difference

Re: primer

Nars primer is also a good option,it is with SPF 20.

Re: primer

What type of primer is best to help close open pores? Or do all primers do that?
