Smashbox primer


Photo Finish Primer (retails at sephora for $32-$49 depending on size)

I was a little skeptical of this product in the beginning because of the consistency since I have oily skin. It can feel very thick when going on and since I'm acne prone I was afraid it was gonna make me break out! I got this little travel size and tried it out and fell in love. It's a silicone based product and fills in any imperfections from acne scars, large pores, wrinkles and some scars. I let a co-worker try it out because she was very self conscious about her acne scars and could find anything to help. I put the primer on her face and put foundation over it to show her how it worked and when she saw herself she was amazed at what it did. with the primer on, she had no scars and the smooth skin she had been missing for so long. I won't recommend using this if you're going to be out in the sun or sweating a lot because those are the times I have noticed breakouts. There are also colored ones to correct discoloration as well as fill in. There are other primers out there that aren't silicone based if the texture does bother you...Sephora has one that feels more like a lotion as well as Bare Escentuals. In my opinion the silicone based fills better for deeper imperfections but the other two are better for daily use.

(retails for $15 but varies depending on size)

(retails for $21 both at sephora or directly from Bare Escentuals)

color correctors...same pricing as clear one.
