Prime Time

Primer is the foundation in all art! It makes the canvas even and smooth. Your face is canvas for your Makeup, so why aren't you using a Primer on it? I have been using Primer, also known as "Face Perfector", for over 2 years now. I can not apply my makeup without it! Primer is a silky creme that fills lines and pores and smooths out the skins texture. Primers bring out the magic in the makeup! Apply a thin layer all over your face and neck after you've moisturized, then proceed with your regular makeup routine. AVON has a Face Perfector SPF 20 from it's MagiX line that is my favorite. It is listed at $10.00 right now with the second tube 1/2 off! Go to http://www.avon.com/ and put Face Perfector in the search box. Ulta is also a great place to get hooked up with a Primer. Bare Minerals and Smashbox carry them, but they'll be more expensive. Mainstream cosmetic lines are starting to carry their own primers as well. I do know Rimmel carries a Foundation Primer.

*A great trick I use in the evenings when I don't have time to redo my makeup is to take toilet paper and blot off the oily areas, reapply the primer, then freshen up the existing makeup. Works like a charm!
