Primer Perfection!


This is oil-control at its best!

As weird as this may seem to a lot of people (especially men), it's by far the best product available for someone that's looking for a brilliant oil-controlling primer or moisturiser.

Let's be real guys, this isn't the most ridiculous thing. Other make-up artists have been trying lubricants and seriously weird products as primers..so this is still 'normal' and probably as far as I'll go.

I've been using Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm as a make-up primer for almost a year now and I haven't bothered trying to find a replacement. It soothes irritated skin and adds hydration to dry skin. This stuff is some serious liquid magic!

All you need is a small amount and you apply it as you would any other primer (focusing on problem oily areas like the nose, forehead and chin), then wait until it dries before you continue with your make-up. It does have that typical men's aftershave fragrance to it, but I quite like it.

Unlike some high-end primers which will cost you anything between $35-$50, this actually keeps your make-up FLAWLESS for the entire day (10+ hours) - and costs a fraction of the price.

No blotchiness, no streaking..your make-up stays the same all day long!

Oh happy days..

For those of you that haven't tried this before, give it a go!

But..tell your boyfriend/husband/brother first or else he'll be super weirded out when he finds out that you're using his post shave balm..
