Tried and tested: Make-up primers
“This new primer from the vegan and cruelty-free brand promises to help foundation last longer and keep skin feeling refreshed. The thin white gel felt cool on my skin and helped get rid of shine on my T-zone, and I definitely noticed my make-up stayed on longer.”
“A light, creamy base that comes in a tube, for best results squeeze a little onto the back of your hand and dab lightly on the lid, paying special attention to the crease area.
I’m already a fan of MAC matte eyeshadow, and this helped the powder glide on and blend with ease.”
“At first, I was a bit over-enthusiastic with this silky white cream, but once I realised that a little goes a long way, I mastered the technique of smoothing on a touch at a time, leaving a velvet-soft base that really helped my BB cream stay put.”
