Beauty 411 : Primers

I am a firm believer that to achieve a long-wearing flawless finish, your makeup routine should always kick off with a decent primer. This invisible yet powerful base will improve the appearance and wear of any makeup sitting on top. In this post I shall share my dynamic duo for ensuring an impeccable finish that lasts as long as possible. 

Both these products are each primer a-listers in their own right; however their performance is even more impressive when paired together as I often do.



Firstly I apply the Stila One Step Correct Colour Corrector; a triple-swirled helix serum to even out and brighten my skin tone. My attention was instantly captured by the intertwining lavender, peach and green serums that swirl up the centre of the bottle. 



When you pump the product out you are left with a swirl of the three tones, which then blend seamlessly into your skin. The effect is to add life to a dull complexion by calming down redness as well as blurring out uneven skin tone and imperfections. 



Once I have this initial base, I then add the Benefit Porefessional Primer to my t-zone. This is the area where I suffer the most with large pores, breakouts and oily skin. This primer provides extra power for keeping my makeup in place and looking flawless on top of these troublesome areas. 



This Benefit primer is a holy grail beauty product that is worth the hype. It blends into my skin to even out all imperfections and create a smooth, matte base for my makeup to sit on top off. 



Once I have this perfect base I can trust that any foundation I wear on top will blend evenly, look flawlessly smooth and last a lot longer. If I were to suggest one beauty product for anyone to invest in it would always be a flaw-defying primer.


I hope that you all enjoyed this Beauty 411 post and I would love to hear what you think either in the comments below. What is your favourite primer or makeup essential?
