12 Best Makeup Primers

I'm enjoying it!
I recently ran out of my usual primer and decided maybe it was time to try out something new. After a bit of research I decided to give this one a try, since I've been such a fan of most Tarte products I've used in the past. It has not disappointed me! For a product you find at Sephora, I'd say the price is about mid-range...but then I got home and realized it's a pretty generously sized tube of p...read morerimer! That alone made me feel better about the cost. The tube is also pretty--dark purple with a faux bamboo looking cap--which doesn't actually matter, but I admit I enjoy having nice packaging to look at in my makeup case. The primer itself is light (think similar to Smashbox Photo Finish Light), but durable and it doesn't make my hands feel gross or sticky after applying. It really smooths out the surface of my skin, helping my foundation glide on and blend easily and improving the overall look (compared to no primer at all). I've used it under powder and liquid foundations (not at the same time!) and it always keeps my face in place and looking great for the full day. And my days can be pretty long sometimes! I don't need a lot of this to get a great result, so that generously sized tube should last long enough to really feel like it was worth my money. I also don't need as much foundation, especially when I use powder, to get the amount of coverage I like--so it saves me there, too! I'm pretty excited about how well this works and I would definitely purchase it again when I run out.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 9 people said helpful
