Prime Time ~ All About Primers

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;">If you want your complexion to look younger, fresher and more even than everyone else, and if you want your makeup to last all day, the key is to use a primer.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Primers are pre-makeup bases that help mask fine lines and wrinkles, make your skin look smoother, help your foundation to go on evenly, and help it to last.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmkIl96e0CdCeKe59E92gdf7j4-gHaYXHfOANFZ7RrtB8aquTMY0mmTtD6nSuZ4XnXJAv_req03-NAttPnGP9tafl9556umcqcYWKFeeYhgjBBT87oPGFTF0Hdq9-C-vnPRGP6UxTs3g/s1600/katie01BW.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmkIl96e0CdCeKe59E92gdf7j4-gHaYXHfOANFZ7RrtB8aquTMY0mmTtD6nSuZ4XnXJAv_req03-NAttPnGP9tafl9556umcqcYWKFeeYhgjBBT87oPGFTF0Hdq9-C-vnPRGP6UxTs3g/s1600/katie01BW.jpeg" title="Katie-Bunn-By-Eric-Cassee-002" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Model Katie Bunn</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Photographer Eric Cassee</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Hair Will Zecco</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Makeup Corinna Cooke</i></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Your skin needs to be <i>well</i> moisturized (makeup grabs onto dry areas, making it look uneven and patchy),</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">and your facial SPF needs to have a couple of minutes to absorb before you apply your primer. If your skin still feels a bit dewy give it another minute or two.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">You only need a small amount - about the size of a raisin. Massage it into your skin focusing on your T Zone first, and then across your cheeks.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Apply your primer sparingly - if you use too much it will ball up under your makeup.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVx7UeDBh5ku1LLNBubf6V0rc29jB_PDiEUiVVZDYfuZChSgj5WV9TldBcrOnmutFkwMvYV5AEVaqoNzRrDOJDUYX9TdQ1j2vURnp2z_80IXyw8MCvYeBXQ6rzJFm4ADkoSzGRPr8Qh0/s1600/katie02BW.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVx7UeDBh5ku1LLNBubf6V0rc29jB_PDiEUiVVZDYfuZChSgj5WV9TldBcrOnmutFkwMvYV5AEVaqoNzRrDOJDUYX9TdQ1j2vURnp2z_80IXyw8MCvYeBXQ6rzJFm4ADkoSzGRPr8Qh0/s1600/katie02BW.jpeg" title="Katie-Bunn-By-Eric-Cassee-001" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Primers can be slippery, making it easier for your foundation to blend. Ideally apply your foundation with a duo fiber foundation brush to get a gorgeously even and light application.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">There are many different types of primer. Here are a few:</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>For Dryness</b> if you battle a drier complexion, look for a primer with hydrating ingredients lick glycerin, that will help provide a barrier that holds moisture in.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>For Dullness</b> primers with a pink or lilac hue can color correct out sallowness in the skin, making it look a little fresher. I particularly love Makeup Forever HD Primer in Lilac to cancel out too much yellow or dullness in the complexion.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>For Redness</b> use a green tinted primer, but be careful - too much green will leave your complexion looking very ashy.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>For Fine Lines, Wrinkles and Enlarged Pores</b> use a primer with peptides to reduce lines or even with tea tree oil to reduce shine.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>For Acne</b> use an oil free primer with anti acne ingredients and with silica to absorb excess oils.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><i>* Using primer on your throat, chest and the backs of your hands can leave your skin looking silky and smooth all day.</i></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTWZsywfWjPy8_So6Zk1aHRWKhaOfLl9BTTG4lgpIgklYe8vmegRvAC4xPiv57dpgPoLnHoT3VJ8VKpMGmlzc_Nzt7Q-FWmklu-3-PXs4h1ddXButy8OghPmfMeAJ7DYxF33uqozC9Mbk/s1600/LORAC-PRO-PALETTE_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTWZsywfWjPy8_So6Zk1aHRWKhaOfLl9BTTG4lgpIgklYe8vmegRvAC4xPiv57dpgPoLnHoT3VJ8VKpMGmlzc_Nzt7Q-FWmklu-3-PXs4h1ddXButy8OghPmfMeAJ7DYxF33uqozC9Mbk/s1600/LORAC-PRO-PALETTE_01.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Eye Shadow primers are a must too.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">They will make your eye shadow go on more evenly, make the colors more true, and will make your eye makeup hold throughout the day.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I particularly like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/LORAC-Behind-Scenes-Shadow-Primer/dp/B008XN81LQ"><span style="color: blue;">Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer</span></a></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">If your lipstick tends to feather, or if you have trouble keeping lipstick on, try using a lip primer, or even dab a little of your facial or eye shadow primer onto your lips first.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Give it a few moments to settle in before applying your lip liner and  lipstick.'</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">But remember - use it sparingly...</span></div><br />

Exfoliate Daily With Clarisonic</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJhuf57vkM96F0ABJKHB5kjkl8csnds2RhGqckI23-lH08t_yn_fGDC34liCSmXxIO89a1e2I2Ip_SlZlkGVyRZDTodjQ9cWiHzUY4pgeIRQ43JGqMZNFDWSed8Hcv5qxKrYuXz7-Vb5s/s1600/aclarisonic2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJhuf57vkM96F0ABJKHB5kjkl8csnds2RhGqckI23-lH08t_yn_fGDC34liCSmXxIO89a1e2I2Ip_SlZlkGVyRZDTodjQ9cWiHzUY4pgeIRQ43JGqMZNFDWSed8Hcv5qxKrYuXz7-Vb5s/s320/aclarisonic2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />If you follow this blog then you probably already know that I am a huge fan of the <a href="http://www.clarisonic.com/?gclid=CLXUmc2c9rYCFSFxQgodHF8AaA">Clarisonic</a>. When I'm doing movies I get Clarisonics for all my leading ladies - they make such a huge difference to the skin.<br />Basically, using a Clarisonic every day will cleanse your skin 6X deeper, and will lift away debris from the surface of the skin.<br />Light reflects off of smooth surfaces, making your skin look fresher, younger and more vital.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgdIvuEi9I9e32hDDuIHz5B9qkGdsX_e5RNsDd2rH0mHcTmYfV76sbbvi8Oam-_TDxESlW65bsWqk92zQP4Oiu1i1sylmoOGvQYu0c3nSPyfRh9CUwkJGBRwkF67E9uWbocSNxPu8XMI/s1600/aaren1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgdIvuEi9I9e32hDDuIHz5B9qkGdsX_e5RNsDd2rH0mHcTmYfV76sbbvi8Oam-_TDxESlW65bsWqk92zQP4Oiu1i1sylmoOGvQYu0c3nSPyfRh9CUwkJGBRwkF67E9uWbocSNxPu8XMI/s320/aaren1.jpg" width="217" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">2. Weekly Enzyme Mask</span><br />I'm not a fan of exfoliating scrubs.<br />I always think they rough up the baby skin underneath, so instead I have my clients use enzyme masks to exfoliate, such as this one by <a href="http://www.renskincare.com/p/3092">Ren</a><br />Skin looks vibrant and alive after an enzyme mask, and it feels fabulous.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">3. Moisturize.</span><br />Use a quality moisturizer morning and night.<br />Moisturizers containing ceramides and/or niacinamide strengthen the lipid barrier, which is the absolute key to glowing skin.<br />Make sure you apply your moisturizer liberally, and work it into the skin in an upward motion.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">4. Brighten</span><br />Brighten dark spots/patches and even out skin tone with serums and/or creams that contain kojic acid, hydroquinone or vitamin C<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">5. Facial SPF</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPApSH4Brnsja71sNzciJCvxodBY82EsfML0yUo2bwOBcWYbeGTZILMxvv15fy0C-2-RVltAexdcPc1p0MV-jIn-JiSJcijZHz6OLtVdmJQm-GH1OmaB3uy3gCNw0UdZMc1qnmdDr4LE/s1600/afacialspf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPApSH4Brnsja71sNzciJCvxodBY82EsfML0yUo2bwOBcWYbeGTZILMxvv15fy0C-2-RVltAexdcPc1p0MV-jIn-JiSJcijZHz6OLtVdmJQm-GH1OmaB3uy3gCNw0UdZMc1qnmdDr4LE/s320/afacialspf.jpg" width="220" /></a></span></div><br />Use a free standing facial SPF of 50+<br />If your daily moisturizer has SPF in it already, still use a free standing facial SPF over top, and apply it liberally.<br />Don't forget your throat and decolletage. I tell my clients to only apply it where they want to look pretty - nothing ages you faster than sun damage.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">6. Fake A Tan</span></b><br />Don't let the sun tan your face, as it just fast tracks the aging process. Instead opt for a fake tan, but don't go color crazy. Adding a little golden glow to your complexion will leave you looking radiant and beautiful.</div>
