PRIME & PREP

As soon as corrective primers came out on the market, I began using them.   Corrective primers are primers which come in the colors pink, purple, green and yellow.  Each color has its own meaning.  Green adjusts color tone, pink and purple brighten and yellow gives an overall glow.  Lately I have been using Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer in pink.  However, when I wish to save money or I am out of my other primer, my go to primer is E.L.F.'s Mineral Infused Face Primer in Brightening Lavender.

ELF Mineral Infused Face Primer - Brightening Lavender

The E.L.F. Mineral Infused Face Primer smooths out your face and prepares it for makeup.  If you are in the age group of 35-45, you don't want your makeup seeping into those fine lines you may have.  This primer will make sure that doesn't happen and will brighten your complexion at the same time.

TIP:  IF YOU MIX YOUR FOUNDATION WITH YOUR PRIMER ON YOUR HAND, YOU WILL GET A DEWEY LOOK AND YOUR MAKEUP WILL SIT "ON" YOUR FACE RATHER THAN IN.  My skin is dry.  When I used the process I automatically look fresh and bright, rather than dull and flaky.

As for its lasting power, the E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer lasted about 8-10 on me.  If you want to compare it to Make Up For Ever primer, that lasted 2-3 hours more.

The texture is very smooth and soft; not greasy.  It is silicon based, much like that of Smashbox.  The bottle is smaller than it looks on the computer.  But don't let that deter you, because you only need a few pumps.

I really wasn't sure about this primer at first, but decided to take a chance because of all the positive reviews I read.  And boy I am glad I did!  The E.L.F. Mineral Infused Face Primer goes on smooth, lasts a long time and is very affordable.  You cannot go wrong.

The E.L.F. Mineral Infused Face Primer retails for $6.00.  It may be purchased at www.eyeslipsface.com.
