Prime Time

Good Monday Morning! Gals, the time change sprung me into a fog.  I'm normally bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 5am but today was a struggle.  I feel very off so tonight an early bedtime is a must to get me back to my early bird self.

I may not be a beauty expert (thankfully there's some honest-to-goodness ones out there Lindsey is my fav and she recommended these) however makeup is important to me as I never leave home without it unless I'm going to the gym. The older I become I'm growing to appreciate that God made all of his creations beautiful however a splash of color boosts my confidence and makes me feel pretty. So I put my best foot forward with the help of some really good products.

I've shared with you my daily make-up favorites here on this post & this post.  I invest in good products because they are healthier for my skin, last longer and quite frankly do their job. But I've come to realize that they were really doing their job to the fullest because they were missing the 'glue' that holds them to my face.

Gals, it's prime time I share with you the importance, no necessity, of primers!

Primers are the base layer that adheres your makeup to your face allowing it to stay in place, last all day and enhances the pigments.
I can't express enough what a game changer primers are! It comes down to this, why invest in great makeup if you're not going to allow it to reach it's potential.
It's like wearing a great outfit without the proper undergarments.

Here are the primers I use and that come highly recommended ...

Face

I chose this one as I have some redness and it really does help! I feel confident their entire primer line that includes hydrating & smoothing options is great! I REALLY want to try this one as I've heard it's amazing and may once I finish what I have.

Under Eye

This is MAGIC!!! This product hydrates, smooths and reduces puffiness. I literally can't live with out it.
It should be given to Mammas at their baby shower because nothing gives you tired eyes like motherhood ... but I haven't met a Mamma yet that doesn't feel that it's completely worth it!!!

Eyes

I recently started using this pot of primer in color 'painterly' and very happy with it.  There's a lot of product so it should last for a very long time. My shadows don't smear or flake and the colors are more saturated. I used this one for well over 5 years and it was great too.

Lips

This isn't a primer necessarily but it's the best for keeping your lips hydrated and soft so that your lipsticks wear smoothly.

Dress Beautifully in Primers on Your Pretty Face
