DO YOU REALLY NEED A FACE PRIMER?
DO YOU REALLY NEED A FACE PRIMER? The question is do you really need a face primer? I have mature dry oily skin. And over the years I've tried many face primers and none of them worked at keeping my foundation on. Remember the days before face primer was a thing? Let's talk about when I don't think you need a face primer and what you can do to prep your skin for makeup.(This post contains affiliate links, see disclosure policy) WHY YOU DON'T NEED A FACE PRIMER There are different face primers on the market.

NATURAL GLOWY MAKEUP NO FOUNDATION
NATURAL GLOWY MAKEUP NO FOUNDATION One thing I've strived for is to be able to get a natural glowy makeup look with no foundation. When I was younger and a makeup artist would apply makeup this way I hated it. I felt like why wear makeup if I can't see it. But now I get the natural glowy no makeup look.

OVERRATED BEAUTY PRODUCTS TO AVOID!
OVERRATED BEAUTY PRODUCTS TO AVOID! Recently I decided to test out some new makeup products that have been overhyped and overrated. These were recommended by several beauty youtubers. After testing these out I'm here to share some overrated beauty products to avoid. I know everyone has different expectations but these are luxury items so I personally have much higher expectations not only for the product itself but packaging because let's be honest it's partly what you're paying for. I also know that age plays a factor in one of these product because my skin is different than someone that's 10 or 30 years younger than I am. For reference I am 54 with oily dry combination skin. I purchased all of these items myself. I'm disclosing that because I do often receive PR from ... View Post
