nwr - primer and foundation

Abiti m - you know smashbox and mac have been recommended alot, i think im going to have to try them both out!!

@ heather H - thanks for the link im def going to look at that website

I have used all of the primers mentioned above. Most makeup counters will give you a sample if you ask.

I currently have the MAC foundation primer in my kit. I like that it has a little glow to it, helps reflect the light. http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/160/967/Prep-Prime-Skin/index.tmpl

I worked for Smashbox years ago and it was the #1 selling product in the line. Be careful if you have very oily skin, oil separates the silicone. http://www.smashbox.com/products/6038/Face/Primer/index.tmpl

The Laura Mercier and the Make Up For Ever primers are the ones I use personally. They are super light weight and I barely feel like I have anything on.

I have also hear really good things about the Hard Candy primer from other Makeup Artists http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hard-Candy-Sheer-Envy-Cosmetic-Primer/12441151

I swear by a professional line called The Mix that is sold exclusively in Babylon NY. It is comparable with MAC but as a makeup artist I love the product even more. Their primer and the tinted face moisturizer gives you such an amazing glow. If you are interested in purchasing, please contact me. Good luck!
