primer suggestions
Anyone have any good primers to recommend for reactive skin? I'm looking for myself, not clients, I use Laura Mercier for clients and never have a problem but it breaks me out and want to try something new. Thanks All! Nov 25 12 07:46 am Link Laura Geller's "Spackle" is a good product. Smashbox makes nice Primers. Check out www.inmykit.com for a whole host of recommendations Nov 25 12 08:35 am Link Whiphand Cosmetics makes a gorgeous primer. It's seriously like nicest primer I have ever tried.

Nov 25 12 10:28 am Link Thanks for all your great suggestions! If anyone has a fail safe primer they use on skin prone to breakouts, I'd love to hear about those in particular. I'm one of those poor souls who has breakouts with products most don't, Laura Mercier primer for example, I have never, ever had a client had a bad reaction but I do, same with MUFE HD foundation, even though I love it, I just can't wear it on my own face... Nov 25 12 10:48 am Link Nov 25 12 12:55 pm Link Yes- I also agree with CoverFx primers. You may also try Lorac's Aquaprime, as it is also made for sensitive skin (and silicon-free). Nov 25 12 05:55 pm Link I cannot do without MUFE allmat primer! Even my clients who have had sensitive skin, had no issus with this. I love it! It keeps makeup lasting longer and great for under eys cuz it fills in the fine lines a little before u apply concealer Nov 25 12 06:06 pm Link When using silicone foundation I use Smashbox primer, when using water-based foundations, I use Lorac aquaprime. Nov 25 12 07:40 pm Link My pick for silicone-based foundation is MUFE HD Primer, for water-based I love OCC Skin Primer. I can't stand the feel of primers with lots of silicone in them, and the two I mentioned feel weightless and prime beautifully. If it's for yourself and you don't care about flash photography, MAC Prep&Prime spf 40 (or 50?can't remember) is also a great product, makes foundation last a lot longer and doesn't clog pores. It does feel slightly heavier than the other two though. Hope that helps!

You may be allergic to a commonly used ingredient in makeup. Nowadays, makeup is non-comedigenic, meaning it won't clog pores. Most breakouts are skin reactions, not pimples. Maybe you're allergic to silicone? Certain preservatives? Maybe this can help you break down what's breaking you out! Nov 27 12 03:27 pm Link |
