The Best Primer for Flawless Make Up

A really good primer can provide extra nutrients to hydrate your skin and give you a glow-effect. 

I try two of the current best sellers for primers and see which one comes out on top…

I Was Very Impressed…

This gave me a sheer veil over my skin which I wasn’t expecting.

It would actually be enough to use on a no-make up day, to bring you to life and give a natural glow.

Let’s see how it sets my make up…

• Transparent to allow optimal light diffusion
• Advanced blurring technology
• Illuminated, mattified complexion

So no hydrating ingredients with this primer, but the ‘shimmer-flecked gel’ did give me high hopes for this primer!

Let’s see how it looks…

I Wasn’t As Impressed…

I had high expectations due to the floating gold in this primer.

I thought my skin would be gleaming from ear to ear.

But I would say it was a bit of an anti-climax.

Let’s see how it sets my make up…

It gives a very smooth base and a lovely matte finish.

I would say less of a glow than Estee Lauder.

But it definitely lives up to its advanced blurring technology.

And achieves that mattified complexion beautifully. 

My Favourite is Estée Lauder 

Both gave a smooth base ready for your foundation to sit perfectly.

And both kept my make up in place for a lot longer than I expected (and I’ve got oily skin!).

However, the added bonus of a light veil across my skin, gives Estée Lauder the edge for me.

This is perfect to have in your cupboard for those non-make up days, to achieve that clean girl no make up look!
