Top 10 Make up.... 7. Primers

So I live in the middle of Crazy town London, which plays havoc with anyones skin.  Having to spend an hour a day underground getting to and from work does not give kindly.  Hot and bothered!

I use Clinique City Sheer Block underneath my foundation which absorbs Oil and perspiration.  Essentially it is a sunscreen but can be used as a primer.  This locks in my foundation beautifully and it aids your foundation to staying on your face for longer.

There are a couple I use, for Oil absorption, including MAC Mattifying gel which is another fabulous product which absorbs straight into the skin.

In short the importance of a primer cannot be stressed enough.  I was one of possibly many people who thought I should just slap on my foundation after moisturising; but all that does is apply a layer of foundation of a layer of grease and makes is slip off your face.  Definitely moisturise but ensure you do it and leave a good interval before application of your makeup.  Your primer will serve you well in the plight for a long lasting look :)
