I have been on the hunt for a new foundation primer for a really long time now so I have been sampling different ones. For now it has come down to these three:
1) Laura Mercier mineral primer
2) Smashbox photofinish
3) Avon Magix face perfector
This is my least favorite of the three simply because it does not give me the silky smooth sensation that the other two provide me with. I find it even a bit watery then creamy and that it would make my skin feel oily when I don't have oily skin. I would not recommend this type of primer for normal to combination skin types. I feel like this may be a good choice for someone who had very dry skin though!
For a regular size bottle of the Smashbox primer is quite pricey therefore going for the cheaper alternative with Avon is an easy choice for me. I love this product though if I haven't had found the Avon product then I would suck it up and by the full size of this. It feels great on your skin and leaves your foundation looking flawless all day long. It is especially great for nights out or for times where you know you will be taking a lot of pictures. This with Make Up Forever's HD powder for a setting powder makes your skin look so good on camera.
I never would of thought that an Avon product would resemble a high end product so much as this one does to Smashboxs photo finish primer. The consistency of the product looks completely different once it is out of the packaging but it feels exactly the same ! What I love even more about this product is that is contains SPF 20 so if you don't wear a foundation that lacks it you don't have to feel bad about it !
