Primer – not just for your walls~

by Jina, posted in Makeup, Product Review

As a makeup artist, the number one question I get asked ALWAYS is: “how can I make my makeup last all day?” My response to that is: PRIMERS! Laying down the right foundations, ultimately creates the flawless, picture perfect finish. (just like painting walls)

- Q: What is it’s purpose?
- A: to even out skin tone (color and texture), for a smoothe, even makeup finish

- Q: Why are there so many colors?

Who doesn’t like looking at “Before” and “After” pictures? They’re so fun because they give us hope in thinking “oooh I can be sooo ugly and still come out like that!” And yes–you can!! I don’t believe in big, goppy, clown makeup, but I do think that subtle concealers and longer lashes can be our friend.
