WHY WE LOVE IT
This primer feels smooth and silky when you apply it, creating a brilliant canvas for the rest of your make up. Â Smoothes out pores and helps create a flawless face that lasts all day long.
“As I’ve got older, primer has become a must-have (I should mention Urban Decay’s eye potion primer here as it’s also an essential for me now). This one means foundation goes on a dream, and it doesn’t have the silicone feel of some, which I don’t like.”

WHY WE LOVE IT
A lovely light textured cream that is quickly absorbed into the skin leaving your face prepped for foundation. Â It fills in pores, glides on the skin and helps make-up last all day. Â Great for dry/dehydrated skin as it feels very moisturising and doesn’t settle into any cracks.
“This creates a great base layer that gives your skin that little extra boost of moisture that stops your make up from looking dry on top. Â It’s very light so you hardly feel like you’ve got anything on.”

WHY WE LOVE IT
Although this primer is on the pricier side, it lasts for a very long time. Â This feels velvety on the skin and has a magical blurring effect that keeps make up in place all day long.
