Primer Potion File II

I am thinking to buy a primer potion, normally i use Laura Mercier's powder primer, i have got the all 3 sets,


1- Laura Mercier Finishing Powder ( i am running out of it but thank god i purchased one more )
but is a bit messy to use powders, you just waste product, it just drops down to floors and clothes etc.
but there is an extra it is a really a good product, i wish i am not this messy and i remmber where i put my powder and take the picture and share it with you, but if you are one of my readers from the begining you'd now that if i do not have the product i won't say i am using. This is bigger than the other two products and more long lasting, this is a setting powder i use this over my make up


2- Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder
 this is smaller than you imagine it could finish faster than you imagine ( i finished this in 3 mnths time) this has 2 shade options shade 1 and shade 2. shade is a bit more yellow, i think it is more suitable for asian and Indian's. No offence it is my personal opinion it could work on me too, but i purchased shade 1 and perfectly fits although i am a Mediterranean and i am olive skinned. Opps before i forget it is a bit pigmented product, it is sparkling powder type so you might be sparkling like Las Vegas Lights :)
i use this after i moisten my skin.

3- Laura Mercier Mineral Finishing Powder
it is also in a small jar and i use it after i put my foundation and concelaer, before i start to do my eyes, and cheeks.
it could finish quickly ....

As on my eyes I use

Too Faced Shadow Insurance




I used only few times , i can not say much about this product, i will tell you more when i see a difference on my eye make up..

MAC Prep + Prime Eye


What i can say about this product is it is pretty long lasting, i am using this product for over a year...
and it is better than the other primers i use...
it is on a small square jar and you think it wont be long lasting cos it doesnt look much on the jar, but it has and u can use it until you finish it..  no product will be left over inside the jar...

Smashbox Lid Primer  



Create the perfect canvas for shadow application with this ultra-luxurious lid primer. Just like our best selling, award-winning face primer, this vitamin-packed formula glides on and instantly smoothes and perfects lids. Wear it alone for a flawless natural eye or under any shadow to give it the staying power to withstand anything (even the occasional all-nighter).

This revolutionary formula contains Phytomoist™, a plant-based hyaluronic acid for ultimate moisturization plus skin perfecting amino acids. Soft focus pearls help diminish the appearance of fine lines and discoloration on the lids, while the patented delivery system ensures effective results.


What i say : DO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY OUT TO THE STREET.IT IS NOT WORKING AT ALL...




so what i want to buy as a primer potion, i have got few on my mind and I am not so sure what to buy

I do not want smth in bottle especially a glass one it has a break factor

 Well it looks very nice but it will take much space


2- Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion




Smooth on a little Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion before foundation (or alone!) to totally minimize the look of pores and fine lines. The velvety, paraben-free formula flashes down to a soft-matte finish, without the greasy, heavy feel sometimes associated with foundation primers. The result? Flawless skin with an airbrushed look and feel. Foundation applies smoothly, evenly, and won’t fade away. Ideal for oilier skin, but dry complexions who want pore perfection will love it, too.

The convenient squeeze tube includes a twist-up dispenser (like school glue!) for easy portion control.

 Urban Decay Brightening Complexion Primer Potion





Dull skin? Fine lines? Disappearing foundation? Try Brightening Complexion Primer Potion under foundation (or alone!) for beautifully moisturized skin that looks brighter and feels tighter.

This lightweight, oil-free, paraben-free formula includes buzz-worthy ingredient Matrixyl 3000, celebrated for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres also minimize the look of fine lines while leaving skin beautifully moisturized. Your skin will look youthful, lifted and firm, and your foundation will apply smoothly, evenly, and last longer!

Ideal for complexions that need moisture, and great for mature skin. But, our Brightening formula gives every skin type a healthy glow.
