My favourite primers cheap to expensive


Hello lovelies sorry about the lack of blogs lately ive been very busy with work and some issues but i shall be getting on top of things and back to posting every day to every other! 

So to get back on track thought id show you my favourite primers which go from cheap to expensive! 

To start with are my cheap drug store primers.....  which are by the brand MUA (makeup academy)  starting with the first one in my picture is my eyeshadow primer this is a great base for eyeshadows or even a base to cover the redness on the eyelids. I dont wear alot of eyeshadow but on a night out i use this with my eyeshadow and it will stay creaseless for ages! Id recommend trying this if you dont like spending to much money. 
For my face primers i have the fixing mist and the matte perfect primer these again are great if you dont want to spend alot of money but get a decent product that works! So after i use the matte perfect primer which is great for a oily skin like mine i apply my foundation and then spritz a little bit of the face mist over my face just to help set everything this helps make my face powder look less cloggy aswell! 

I really like the MUA range as its so affordable and your getting a decent product which is a bonus so id defiantly   recommend trying this range especially as its good for a oily skin type you can get  in your nearest superdrug stores. 

Next is the more exspensive primers which are both good for oily skin types....

Firstly is the prime time oil control primer by bareminerals this is costly but works really well specially with foundation i have a very oily t-zone and this helps to soak up excess oil and leaves a clear weightless feel on the skin to give my foundation a smooth matte finish this is the perfect primer for if you have a oily skin type id defiantly be repurchasing this again. 

Lastly is the pores no more pore refiner by dr brandt this primer is amazing and is one of my top primers even though its pricey its worth every penny. This primer comes out orange but blends in clear leaving the whole face looking shine free  helping to smooth out any scarring you may have so when you apply your foundation your face looks flawless with a airbrushed finish.


If you cant afford spending out on this primer the MUA matte perfect is the best dupe ive come across as you can see on the left is matte perfect and on the right is pores no more very similar in feel and colour and is alot cheaper! 



Prices...

Eye primer £1.50
Matte perfect £4.00
Fixing mist £5.00
Bareminerals prime time £18.90
Dr brandt pore refiner £39.00

My everyday make up favourites.....



This is my everyday make up favourites I wear on a daily basis..

foundation I use the gosh x-ceptional wear in the colour 12 natural.
 I really like the way this foundation glides onto the skin it buffs in really well with my real techniques buffing brush, also the colour range is really good they do a really light one to a really dark one so can be worn by anyone.
Recently I've noticed I am getting a lot shinier with this foundation as I have used it for a long time maybe it is time to find a new one for my skin type so I probably wouldn't recommend this for a oily skin like mine but defiantly good for a normal to combination skin type.
from super drug for £7.99

powder I use the accessorize in translucent there's not much to say about this powder other than it suits all skin types and does keep my skin looking Matte throughout the day, it doesn't cake up when I re apply it either I'd highly recommend this.  
from super drug for £4.99

Eyebrow gel I use the maybelline brow drama in the colour dark brown this gel is perfect for keeping the brows in place and giving them a little bit of colour.
from super drug for £4.99

Eyebrows I use the MUA pro brow kit I love this it's really cheap and my eyebrows don't budge all day! It comes with a wax, three shades , tweezers and a little brush 
From super drug for £2.50

Mascara i am using is the  Rimmel scandal eyes Lycra flex this is great for volumizing the lashes to make them look fuller and also adding thickness to them with its big soft barrel brush.
From super drug for £4.99

Bronzer I use is the Bahamas mama by the balm I literally love this bronzer it's my second repurchases and I love it this really gives a natural glow to the face without making you look orange it's brilliant for contouring as it's soft powder is easy to Blend out.
great buy from www.feelunique.com  for £13.50

Blusher im using is accessorize merged baked blusher  In colour number 5 sensation I love this blusher as it gives a nice pink shimmer on the cheeks and is not to overpowering it glides on nicely to and doesn't cake up.
From super drug sale for £2.99

Concealer I'm using is from YSL touché éclat radiant touch in the lightest shade I absolutely love this concealer hides all my dark circles and imperfections and really does brighten and highlight areas too I defiantly will be repurchasing this it's a makeup bag must have its pricey but worth it.
From John Lewis for £25.00

BB cream for under the eyes I use the pure B.B in ultra light I like this as it brightens and gives a cooling sensation under my eye area giving it a good base for my concealer to sit on.
From super drug £1.99

Lip products are use are the H&M lip tint in bubblegum pink and NYX Megs shine lipgloss In pink frost I love both these lip products together for a ultra baby pink lip there long lasting and the taste of the NYX is amazing smells like cherries.
From H&M for £1.99 and next in Westfield for £5.99
