It's All About the Primer
Makeup primer is crucial, especially if you have oily skin like me. No one likes having to dab the oil off your face with paper towels in the bathroom at work. Below are a few of my favorite primers to help my skin stay healthy and my makeup last all day.
Pre-Primer
Peter Thomas Roth — $42
Healthy skin is the first step. After having a personal scare with skin cancer earlier this year, I've started layering on the sunscreen every morning no matter where I'm going that day. My favorite sunscreen is Peter Thomas Roth because it doesn't have a lingering beach smell and it doesn't make my skin more oily than it already is.
NARS Pro-Prime — $35
Smashbox "Photo Finish" — $36
tarte Smoothing Primer — $39
BareMinerals Prime Time — $34
BareMinerals Prep Step — $30
Two-in-one sunscreen and primer.
