Primed


I'm not sure why, but I've been reluctant to use primer. I've always been a makeup wearer in terms of eye shadow and bronzer, but only recently graduated to skin perfecting things like foundation and concealer. I never needed it until my skin changed drastically about 2 years ago. I finally found the perfect "makeup" right before my wedding (Rain cosmetics - ah-maze-zing), and was happy as a clam UNTIL...
A girlfriend (thanks Tina!) got me {this} too-faced started set for Christmas  and I've been playing around with the primers. I'm so hooked, especially on primed and poreless. Not only does my makeup stay put so much better.. but i can put these things on alone and still look put together. Work day mornings just got a lot easier ladies!

So tell me, what are you makeup secrets and time savers?

  2. I have to test this out! I've used the Urban Decay eye primer but never the Too Faced ones.

  3. I usually only use primer on my eyelids, but I should try the face primer as well!

  4. I've never really thought that using eye primer was something I needed to do, but so many bloggers love it! Perhaps I'm missing out?!

  7. I haven't tried the Too Faced brand before. I just did my whole make-up routine on my blog yesterday. It's kind of ridiculous how much I use now! I used to not use that much but I just keep adding new products to my daily routine.

  8. Primer is such a great time saver. If you have oily skin I've also found that setting sprays are wonderful. Definitely help de-grease, and save re-applying time later

  11. Even though I have primer, I only use it for parties or evening events. For daily life, I use a sunblock with color, then I don't have to apply different products. Recently I discovered what is a BB cream (specially one of Bobbi Brown), I am waiting to finish my sunblock in order to try that. Have you ever tried one?
