Priming the palette

May 3, 2010 9:04 am · Posted by oldergirlbeauty


Up until a couple of years ago, I had no idea what a face primer was, nor what it could do for you when applying makeup. Well, I have come to learn *plenty* about them now & want to make sure that you do, too.

In the video I mention the following primers, and tried to touch on their price points, but I did so with out any notes. I'll list them here, with links for more details on them, and will list their current SRP:

Avon MagiX - $10 (on sale now for $7.95) (*bought this myself)
Tricia Sawyer Skin Balancing Water Primer - $34 (*bought this myself)
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Luminizing Face Primer - $10 (on sale at CVS for $7.99) (*bought this myself)
Stila Hydrating Primer SPF 15 - $34 (*PR provided)
Cover FX Clear Prep FX - $39 (*PR Provided)
Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Primer - $38 (*PR Provided)
Two Faced Shadow Insurance - $17 (*bought this myself)
L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara - $10.95 (*bought this myself)
Cover FX Mint Glaze FX Primer - $22 (*PR Provided)

I also mentioned, but didn't show:
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base - $13
Urban Decay Primer Potion - $18

I also wanted to mention one that I had forgotten to show in the video, the Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base SPF 15. This is a primer that not only sets your skin for your foundation, it does so by correcting the redness in your skin, with a green tint, if that is one of your problems - $17.50 (*PR Provided)

Just so you know, I have only touched on the brands, and availability, of primer products that are out there. I just wanted to at least let you know how much of a variety there is, and how there is definitely one for you and want you need it to, if you decided to start using a primer. Please let me know if you use any of the ones I mentioned or if this compels you to try one - I'd really like to know.
