Unlike the other formulations, the Magic Illuminating Potion Foundation Primer has more of a translucent finish Basically, you’ll notice that the product is whitish-pearl in tone with several specks of translucent pinks, yellows and blues. This holographic effect is ideal to correct the appearance of unevenness and mild discolouration.

Lorac AquaPrime Primer is ideal for sensitive skins
If you have sensitive or combination/sensitive skin (trust me…that’s a possible combination), then you may find that the other primers on the market are not responding to your specific set of skin care concerns or problems.
During a recent visit to Sephora I asked a beauty consultant if she could let me know if there any primers they carried that I might not have known about … and that’s when I found out that not all primers are created with the same formulation. Lorac AquaPrime™ primer does not use silicone in their formulation (which other brands do use), instead it’s a water-based make-up primer.

Era® Primer Spray won’t allow you to contaminate your primer

Classified Cosmetics uses the same spray pumps for their Era® Primer as they use for their signature Era® Face spray foundations (they carry a wide colour palette of spray foundation colours from very fair skins like Cate Blanchett or Gwyneth Paltrow to darker complexions like Patti LaBelle and Whoopi Goldberg)
The Era® Primer is the first and only patented aerosol make-up translucent primer on the market. It only takes a few seconds for you to achieve a flawless canvas for your face, eye lids and lips.

Laura Mercier’s Primer is the best-selling primer on the market
The first time I wore Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, I immediately noticed how different my make-up looked at the end of a long evening of cheek kissing, smiling, eating and laughing. Usually, my face is oily and the make-up just doesn’t look as fresh as it did when I first applied it. Thanks to this primer, my make-up looked untouched and that was enough for me to be hooked to this great new cosmetic find.
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer is the best-selling primer and it has also been voted by In Style UK as “Best Primer” as part of their “2007 In Style Hall of Fame” and it was also voted “2007 Winner Best of Sephora”.
