Prime time: work it allll out with a good primer, plus a little bit of this and that.

By now you have to know that a good primer is key to the flawless face. Even if you're not a big makeup wearer; don't you think you should place something in between your skin and your makeup?

Even the oily girls (like me) know that most primers have silica oil, an oil absorbing ingredient to help minimize oil, and balance out the skin.

Pores appear smaller.. skin smoother.. I'm not preaching but hey,

no matter what kind of makeup I'm using, or doing.. she isn't getting it without the foundation of a moisturizer and primer first. 

My favorite: Smashbox Photo Finish 

You know I'm a girl about prepping and priming the skin.

I'm also all about manipulating products and using multi-taskers.

I don't always get to check out my prospects before I go to do their bridal trials. And usually don't for photo shoots either. This knocks out the opportunity to check out what they have going on with their skin, under areas, etc.

 I make sure that I tackle every gig prepared to the fullest. 

Or at least the knowledge of how to get my products to do exactly what I need them to do in any situation.

MUFE High Definition Primer: Keep this on duty for smooth skin that will hold up  before needing a touch up.

Freshen up:

Use a drop of primer on the finger tips and smooth it over makeup, to refresh and soften your look.

Doing this will put your skin in soft focus mode, instantly.

For quick under eye clean ups:

Smooth the under eye area over, with a drop of primer on a synthetic brush or #252 Concealer Brush.

You'll make a quick clean away without disturbing your makeup.

MAC Cosmetics Lustre Drops in (L) Pink Rebel and (R) Sun Rush

Mix it up a little:

My favorite thing to do is mix my primer with a lille of MAC's Lustre Drops.

It reflects back light and gives the skin a more flawless effect. 

Works nice over makeup as a diffused highlight 

or 

under makeup as a skin perfecting primer that exudes radiance.

Love this trick in the under eye area, over a thin layer of concealer. 

Eyes will appear refreshed and the primer will smooth out creasing and texture under the eyes.

Oh!

And you'll want to do this by buffing the product in with a #224 Blending brush. 

A little will go a long way!

Enjoy trying this on yourself or your clients. It's never failed me!
