Who doesn’t love a beauty tip?
Primer – I had forgotten about this until I was editing my makeup drawer and found a tube of Smashbox and my Tom Ford Illuminating Primer. How silly of me; this stuff is genius.
Taking the less is more approach is all well and good but sometimes I go too far; I forget my own discoveries and get lazy in the process. Not anymore, I am priming all the way because it does really make a difference to how our foundation sits and our skin glows. You can use it alone or underneath tinted moisturiser or foundation – whatever is your go-to.
The routine goes like this:
Cleanse/Tone/Serum/Moisturise – then – Primer with or without Foundation. It’s easy.
The difference between them? Smashbox I use at night, The Tom Ford every day and often when I don’t want to wear anything else on my face. The moral of this story; whichever one you have, use it. Primer is a tried and true beauty trick for all. xv p.s Have you watched Sharp Objects with Patricia Clarkson? She is one truly fabulous actress and my idea of a “better not younger” woman.
