Beauty Secret: Tom Ford Illuminating Primer

Beauty Secrets on vickiarcher.com


This Illuminating Primer is One Of Those “have To Haves”.

How we apply our make-up and the make-up we apply can make all the difference to the appearance of our skin. It’s not rocket science but a little bit of knowledge can go a long way towards making all the difference.


Light, dewy, glowing and fresh are words that ideally we wish to use when talking skin.



I’m talking Primer again because it does make all the difference. I have never been much of a believer and never really understand the benefits. But, I have become a true convert and an everyday wearer pretty much all of the time. Primer does make a change; it fills, covers and refines the texture of our skin.


We wouldn’t redecorate our walls – paper and paint-  without solid preparation, would we?



The Tom Ford Illuminating Primer is one of the best, followed by Smashbox. It is less expensive and still gives an excellent result.

The Tom Ford “glow” is fantastic and looks totally natural. Better yet, the formula makes the skin feel soft and silky.

I can also wear the Primer alone for that little extra something that looks like nothing.


The best part and this really is a win/win, the Primer reduces the appearance of lines and evens out the texture of the skin.


It’s very surprising  *smile*  miraculous almost.


 

How To Light Up

 * In preparation, cleanse the face and splash with toner or cold water.

 

* Apply serum and moisturiser and wait 5-10 minutes before applying any other cream.


Follow with the Primer

Blend in the tiniest amount with the fingertips; a little bit goes a very long way. (I have had mine for quite some time which goes a way to justify the higher price point.)

(For the perfect blend; pump the illuminator onto the back of the hand and apply in a downward motion)


And that’s it.  Ready, set and go for a foundation. xv
