Okay, I have to admit, I used to be one of those beauty fanatics that just didn’t believe in applying primer before my makeup. It was an extra step I wasn’t trying to add to my makeup routine. It wasn’t until a few months ago when I finally got over myself and gave it a try and man, I’m so glad I did. I was shook at how much a primer controlled the oil on my face and made my makeup look so smooth. This “pointless” step in my makeup routine quickly became something I just couldn’t leave out. I’ve been through quite a bit of primers since my obsession began and I’ve rounded up the best of the best all for you! Check out my favorite face primers below that will make you makeup last, brighten up the face, and ensure that your makeup looks flawless all day long.
