PREP School!

I love this time of year!
Walks in the park, the fair, college football (I AM a southern girl at heart-Go Clemson Tigers!!), jeans, cowboy boots, hats & scarves (too hot to wear either in Charleston during the blazing summer)...just the anticipation of cooler, less humid weather makes me GIDDY!
This is also the time of year where we revamp our kits, including such important basics as PRIMERS!
 Now as professionals we have always been a fan of primers, but with their easy access and affordability-they now have found their way into the homes of moms, models, and yes...even men!!
Their purpose is simple-to create the smoothest possible "canvas" for make up application. You get to use less actual make up AND get the benefits of it staying on longer! Perfect! Now, there are so many types of primers I know it can get confusing. You have to know not only your skin type, but what type of elements (heat & humidity, cold & dryness) you might be up against.
 My favorite mattifying and pore refining primer....LOVE this product and have used it all summer!
 This is hands down the best in organic and anti-aging...loves Korres products!!
 I have 3 basic primers for "normal" skin...Spackle, Laura Mercier, and Make Up Forever HD Primer. Great price point on this one and it also comes in several "shades".
 Brilliant, no seriously....this radiant primer gives you that perfect "lit within" skin. Healthy~GLOW!!


One of my tried and true go to products, the pump is a plus!
 
 
There you have it... my favorites! They are all in my kit and serve different purposes. 
This is a quick "go-to" for different skin types and needs.
 They all can be used alone or with your favorite foundation!
I know it is an extra step for some, but trust me...it's worth it!!
