Hello! I know it's been a while since I posted on this blog, I'm still trying to figure out where the past 2 weeks have gone?! I've been on my toes, making brides look pretty:) It's a very auspicious month for weddings here in Chennai!
I finally uploaded a video on what a primer is! Do check it out.. But before you do, I wanted to add that unlike concealers and foundations, primers don't need to "match" your skintone! One shade suits all! Although there are primers (like the MAC tinted primers) with tints of colour, you don't really need that! The basic primer which is a light weight, transparent/translucent fluid will work for all skin tones and all skin types! =)

Oh, if your applying makeup during the day, here's what you do:
1. Moisturize
(wait for a few minutes for it to absorb into your skin)
2. Sunscreen
3. Primer
4. Begin your makeup (concealer/foundation/pressed powder/eye makeup and so on!)
My current fav Primers:
1. MAC Prep+Prime Face Primer
2. Oriflame Perfecting Face Primer
3. Inglot Primer
Have a great day ahead!

Nice informative article :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Aarthi! :)
DeleteGood job akriti.. why dont give us a full short make up tutorial which begins from a cleansed face
ReplyDeleteHey Prithy.. Thanks for your suggestion! I'm going to work on this video soon! Thanks again :)
DeleteI'm not sure if you've already covered this - concealers!!! I understand how it works and what it's for. But I'm often confused as to what shade of concealer to choose or whether I even need one. Most people ask you to pick a shade lighter than your foundation but the extent/kind of discoloration around your eyes is different from what's around your mouth, for example. What are your thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI find that with the primer and foundation, the majority of imperfections on the face are taken care of.
Hii Monessha! That's a very debatable topic haha! I can completely imagine how confusing it can be! I'm going to write a detailed post on my suggestions/opinions in the coming month!
DeleteAnd yes, primers are awesome! :D
