Prepped & Primed

A few posts ago, I let you all in on one of my affordable oil control secrets. Well, while on my latest play date with Sephora, I decided to try Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I must say, I'm in love.

Photo Finish provides the perfect canvas for makeup application. I was amazed at how smooth my concelaer/foundation glided on. It's a little more expensive than the Iman primer (I still love this product too), but its also oil-free and gives you the matte, photo-ready finish, so I think, its well worth what I paid.

Oil Control

I've had several women ask me how to keep their makeup from looking greasy...

...Primer! Primers are great for women with or without oily skin as they help to prepare a smooth canvas for application of foundation and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

However, for oily skin, its important to select a primer with oil control. I recently found a product that works wonderfully, with no oil spells throughout the day...Iman Cosmetics Under Cover Agent Oil Control Primer.

To boot, it'll only run you about $16 bucks! Order here or pick up at your local Target or Walmart.
