Before applying your makeup do you prime first? If you don't you could be setting yourself up for a hot oily mess by noon. Some are able to get away with it especially if you have dry skin, but your makeup probably won't last all day like you want it too. So take my advice, prime first.

1. Phillips Milk of Magnesia (or similar). 2. Nivea Men's Post Shave Balm- Yes, this works and smells like a man but in a good way (slight cologne scent) and it's only $6! 3. Benefit's Porefessional- Great primer, especially for the oily girls. 4. Smashbox Primer Water-light, refreshing primer. A bit pricey but worth the money if you can afford it. 5. MAC Fix Plus- You can apply this before and after applying your makeup.

6. Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser- This is a gel like formula that glides on so smooth and is great for the price.

Don't turn your nose up at Milk of Magnesia either. You'd be surprised at the amount of celebrity makeup artists that actually use this on their clients! Have any suggestions? Leave a comment below with your go to primer.   Xo Erin
