Top 3 Makeup Products: Primers

Well hasn’t this Summer been an absolute let down?

With the weather being completely unpredictable from week to week and when it’s muggy outside it can be hard to maintain healthy skin and makeup.

So, I am here to tell you a list of my top 3 primers. I use most of these before I put my makeup on or even after as a setting spray.

  • St Tropez Self Tan Purity- Bronzing Water Face Mist: I use this a few times a month at the moment before I put on makeup as I am utterly pale compared to most people and I hate looking washed out. I don’t use this every day as I would look very unnatural and it can have a tendency to give an orange look if used too often. The smell is divine, it does not have a fake tan ‘biscuit’ smell and it feels so light on my face.
  • Mario Badescu Facial Spray- with aloe, herbs and rosewater: I definitely use this product every day as either a primer or setting spray and sometimes both. I feel like it really hydrates my skin and helps to keep my makeup on for a lot longer. This also smells divine and floral.
  • Viola Skin- Anti Ageing Vitamin C Serum: This was a random Amazon purchase that I have really loved. I’ve been using this for about a month now and I’ve noticed a difference in the fine lines around my mouth and forehead, mainly caused by laughing and me pulling funny faces. The product doesn’t feel drying but it does feel tightening and it does have a faint citrus smell.
