Face Primers
We all have questions about face Primers,
What is a Primer have you ever used, and WHY?
Does it make our complexion flawless?
Will it fill and hide enlarged pores and fine lines at the corners of mouth, etc?
well i use a powder primer, Laura Mercier, but if i say oh yes it fills the lines, it shows my skin completely perfect, no lines, no pores etc, it would completely a lie, it only helps make up to look better on face, other than this it does not have the effect of Botox or any kind of silicone injections on the face, your fine lines still there, unless you cover it with a porcelain make up,
I did not use a gel based primer, but i am thinking to buy MAC’s and one from ELF just to try i am not sure, if it’s gonna worth to try ELF one,
yesterday i had a photo shoot for my visa and i used my ELF HD Powder it is good it made my skin to look better, but the silicon substance gave me a strange feeling, on my hands
now i need to stop talking and return back to our face primers
Benefits of using makeup primers: that is WHAT MAKE UP ARTISTS CLAIM…
WELL THOSE ARE JUST CLAIMS, IT IS NEVER %100 TRUE YOU NOW, THOSE ARE JUST PINK LIES THAT WE WOMEN BELIVE AND BUY,
I WILL BUY A FACE PRIMER BEC MY SKIN IS OILY EVEN IF I USE A SETTLING POWDER AFTER A WHILE MY MAKEUP FADES AWAY…

Doll Face Cosmetics Make Up Brush Reviews
as you see suddenly those brushes become so small, you can even carry it in your hand bag, not in a small hand bag of course…
I see that dearest P, has listened to my words and she has changed her brush styles and brush bags, when i first saw her new ad on her website i thought this girl starts to do better than ever,
in the pictures you will see her brushes, unfortunately i never had change to try her products as she is based in Philippines and i am not.
But those red brushes are so similar to Smashbox Brushes that think why pay more to a brand name brush while there is another company selling the same brush much cheaper.
but she is doing great, hoping that she will have some nicer upcoming products to make reviews about,
She is also attending to an early XMAS fair, maybe her fans in Philippines would like to attend.
these 2 brushes look great
foundation and concealer brush, i use my MAC 190 brush as concealer brush
also her brand i mean Doll Face is now on local magazines..
pictures are from her website
and here comes my favourite brush of doll face after white handled foundation and concealer brush
well it is just a small handled mac 187 brush,
ah i will have some posts about FOTD but i am so tried and if i can find time i will post them all tomorrow..
