This is a new series dedicated to sharing the High-End products that I believe are worthy of their price tag. I am sure that I am not alone in my constant desire for high-end cosmetics yet reluctance to invest in case an expensive product fails to live up to my expectations. I hope that sharing the items I have tried, love and deem worthy of their price, will help anyone wishing to treat themselves to a luxury item not to end up disappointed.
I am starting off with an essential to any makeup bag, whether you opt for little or heavy coverage, a natural or made-up look, everyone should invest in a primer. My ultimate favourite is the cult POREfessional by benefit.
Product Profile -
Name : the POREfessional
Brand : benefit
Price : £24.50
Size : 22ml
Claim : ‘quickly minimise the appearance of pores’
Appearance and Texture -
This primer is a universal nude shade that will blend seamlessly into all skin types. It has a smooth texture and leaves your skin feeling silky soft with a matte finish. It instantly irradiates shine and helps to subtly even out your skin tone by blurring imperfections.
Application and Wear -
To apply, I simply squeeze a pea-sized amount onto my index finger and dot this around my t-zone. I gently rub it into the centre of my face where I struggle the most with enlarged pores, shine and keeping my makeup in place. I then allow this to settle for a minute before applying my foundation. The difference this primer makes in the application of your foundation alone is reason enough to invest. Whether my foundation be high-street or high-end it applies seamlessly to create a flawless, natural coverage. With the POREfessional as a base, it glides over any scaring, blemishes or redness to create a smooth, second-skin like finish.
The primer not only wins in terms of appearance but also wear. It ensures that the coverage I apply on top looks flawless for longer and it keeps my dreaded oily t-zone at bay. It is also ideal for using throughout the day, on top of your makeup to matte out any mid-day shine.
I believe that this primer is an essential in all and any makeup bags and I would be at a lost without it. I hope that this post, and this series, helps you decide on the luxury cosmetics that you wish to invest in. I would love to hear your thoughts down below as well as the high end products that you think are worth the price!
