Who doesn’t love a beauty tip?
Primer – I keep forgetting this until looking in my makeup drawer and there is my 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 in how our foundation sits and our skin glows. You can use it alone or underneath tinted moisturizer or foundation – whatever is your go-to.
Smashbox was the original primer favoured by professional artists to smooth skin and set makeup; this one I use for special occasions or on its own. Now they have introduced a lighter version that creates a super smooth finish. I have the original but my next tube will be this one. The Tom Ford Illuminating Primer is a gorgeous feel and results all around. 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
