High End or Low End | Is There a Difference? | Primers

I love me some good primers. Benefit porefessional primer is one of my holy grail and will always re-buy. But with NikkieTutorials on youtube raving about a £5.35 Mend aftershave balm as one of the best primers you can get your hand on, I just had to write about it! 

Here are my top 4 primers 

Smashbox Photo finish Primer - £25.50

L'oreal Lumi Magique Primer - £9.99

Benefit The Porefessional Primer - £24.50

Nivea Men Sensitive After Shave Balm - £5.35

The best one for looking good in pictures in obviously the one that has photo finish in its name, Smashbox. It gives a flawless base for any foundation and makes your base look airbrushed. Lovely. 

Want to have a luminous, healthy glowing look? L'oreal is the one for you. After applying your foundation on top on this primer it gives you the most amazing luminous glow to your face! But I would say it doesn't last long on me and wouldn't recommend it to someone with an extreme oily face.

Benefit's The Porefessional is one of the basics primer. It does what it says on the box, fills in your pores and makes your foundation look smoothed out and again airbrushed. Whats also good is that you can get a mini version of it in Boots if your on a tight budget. 

Then we have an after shave. Yes, mens after shave can be your next primer! Check out NikkieTutorials on youtube to see and hear her raving about it! Honestly i've seen a lot of girls using this because of her! It has a lot of glicerine in it which acts like a glue to anything that's going on top of it, which makes it the perfect primer for anyone who wants their makeup to be long lasting! I usually wear this primer when going clubbing, sweat, melting makeup at the club? Say good bye to that if using this! And at £5 it doesn't hurt the bank! 

What's your favorite primer? Let me know in the comments! 

Until next time
