So I will get to it, I will start with a primer that I received a sample size of and need to go and purchase this still, it is the MaxFactor Facefinity Primer this is £10.99 at Boots.
I only had a small sample of this but it lasted me three days and made my foundation look amazing, my makeup lasted for about 10 hours with this until I needed to touch up, it also didn't bother my eczema as at the time I had a bad eczema patch on my forehead and applying this over it, it then held my foundation in place and stopped it from clinging to the dry skin as much. So I will most likely be purchasing this soon and using it when my eczema flares up.
Nivea Express Hydration Primer £4.99 at Boots
I used to love this primer when my skin was really dry and I have recently rekindled my love for it as it's a primer and moisturiser in one. I love this product as it absorbs fast so your not having to wait around to apply the rest of your make up. It hydrates my skin great when my skin is really dry the only problem I have with it is with my eczema patches when they flare up it makes them a bit red so I can't always apply my foundation to that area straight away. It makes my foundation last about 6-8 hours without a touch up depending on the type of day.
George Face Primer £5.00 at Asda
I picked this primer up when I was wanting to find a new primer so I decided to give this a go as it says it hydrating, there are a few pros and cons to this product. I tried applying it all over my face but it did dry my skin out a bit on my forehead, so I decided to just apply it to my cheeks to see if it helped hide my pores it does a better job just on my cheeks than on the rest of my face, another con to this is that it has to be shaken vigorously before using it or the oil that is in it doesn't mix properly. So it's not the best primer but it's good enough when your on a budget.
Bourjois Paris Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer £10.99 at Boots
Out of all the primers I use I like this the most, this makes my foundation application so flawless whether I'm using a beauty blender or a brush, it has such amazing lasting power and is light weight that it sinks into the skin fast leaving it soft and an even colour, this is my go to primer especially on a night out, it gives a nice luminous finish and I like this best paired with the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. I definitely recommend this if you have normal to dry skin but there is also a matte one for combination skin.
Thanks for reading
