Pale Princess Make-Up & Beauty

So many different primers are on the market now, but which ones are good? And which ones would actually make a difference to how your make up applies? Well, it starts with your skin type and what issues you have currently with your skin, for example, large pores, dullness, oiliness.. so first you need to work out what you're wanting from a primer. This is a list of some of the best primers I own and who I think these are best suited for. Large Pores: Revlon Photo Ready Perfecting Primer - £12.99 This is a silicone based primer that really does work to blur large pores. It has quite a thick consistency and you don't need to use a huge amount - normally two pumps is enough to cover my face. This doesn't cause my foundation to break up and it doesn't cause my skin to break out at all. Make sure you get this specific primer if you're going to try it, as they brought out another version (called Photo Ready Pore Reducing Primer) that is nowhere near as good....

I love high end make up and I own a lot of it, however, when I am spending that much money on a make up product, I want to know that it will perform far better than a drugstore alternative or that it is completely different to anything else on the market. If there is an affordable dupe, I will always purchase the affordable version! These are some of the high end products that I own, that I have also found a drugstore alternative for. Most of these are very, very similar so I wish I hadn't wasted the money on the high end version, so hopefully, this will help you to avoid spending too much. Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water 116ml (£22.00) vs. Primark Primer Water 150ml (£2.00) In the past year or so, Primark have been killing it with their beauty products, both in make up and skincare and I have been loving how affordable their products are...
