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!

NARS sheer glow dupe!


Hey lovely people.... I found a dupe of one of my favourite foundations which is the nars sheer glow foundation I love this but not the price tag specially as I use foundation everyday for the job I'm in as I'm a beauty therapist so I get through bottles very quickly and can get very pricey.

So i went out shopping the other day in my favourite shop superdrug and was looking at foundations for ages and Came across this one by l'oreal infallible 24H which is defiantly a dupe for nars sheer glow. I struggle to find foundations for my oily skin but After using this for a few days I noticed that the texture and feel of this foundation on the skin looked amazing and didnt leave me shiny just a healthy glow,  both of these foundation would be suitable for all skin types and they both have very buildable coverage to I find just one layer with a brush is fine on my skin but if you wanted full coverage it would do it perfectly. The colour range is very close to the nars colours apart from the colour I got as I'm tanned at the moment so went darker but to the left is nars and to the right is infallible not to much of a big difference. I highly recommend trying my dupe if the nars is out your price range.

Colour;
colour of the nars is in light4 
colour of l'oreal infallible is in 140 golden beige 

Prices; 
Nars price; £31.00
L'oreal price; £9.99

Where to purchase;
www.superdrug.com
www.spacenk.com

Hope you liked this post and try my dupe you won't be disappointed or if you know of any other dupes for pricey foundations let me know in the comments below remember to follow my twitter, Instagram and bloglovin for all updates.

see you in my next post x

Must have shadow for a natural eye...


Loving this Laura mercier eyeshadow in twinkling star this is my favourite at the moment I'm not a big one for eyeshadows but subtle colours like this are great for me.

The colour goes on nicely make sure you use a eye primer for a smooth finish it's a very flakey shadow so all you need to do it press the brush into it and press onto the eyelid gently for a sparkly natural eye.

I purchased this from the space nk shop or you can check out there website on www.spacenk.co.uk the shadow was £19.00 pricey but worth it.

Hope you liked this comment if you know of any cheaper brands similar to this colour would love to know :) x
