The Holy Grail of Makeup
The best trick in the book by far that I have learned was the magic of primer!
Makeup Primer often times by others is an “unnecessary” purchase. Oh how wrong can one be! Let’s brake it down.
You are bored one day and you decide you want to paint the walls of your living room. When you head to the store you pick out your color for the living room walls. As you go to the checkout, the cashier tells you that the color won’t hold, or be the same paint can color you just picked out without a base color known as a primer. Your cashier tells you that you need a primer paint for your walls before you add or change your current living room wall’s color. You use the base before you change the color of your walls. This base is called a primer. You want the colors of your wall to be exactly the color in the paint can you’re buying. You also want the color to hold and last. Because boy do you not want to have to go back and repaint all of your walls again! Key word being that you want it to LAST.
Primer is key! Primer is the holy grail of the makeup world. Before you put foundation on your face you want to use a primer. With my educational background I urge one to buy a higher end primer. For reasons I will break down in my next blog post, but for now let’s just focus on a well made primer.
If you want to dance the night away with your best gal pals knowing that you will sweat heavily and dance hard, you don’t want to leave the club looking like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Have your makeup hold throughout sweat, tears, and laughter. If you want to look your best, have your makeup hold at its best.
In fact, want to know one of my best kept secrets?! Sure you do! I have used face and/or eye primer to wipe away my makeup mistakes. So, did you just spend 20 minutes in the mirror only to realize that your cat eye eyeliner is now totally crooked and uneven? But gosh darn-it the rest of your makeup is perfect, and you really don’t want to screw up the rest of your face makeup. Let alone wash off all your makeup and start over again. Primer can fix your mishaps. Yup you heard right! Take a cotton swab, a dab of primer, and wipe that mistake away without wiping away the rest of your face. It’s the smoothest cleanup without washing your whole made up face or making a small mistake an even bigger one.
So that being all said, Primer is Makeup’s Holy Grail. Get you some primer, and go dance the night away, while taking the best selfies and having the time of your life you dancing queen you!
