The foundation of foundation.
That is, primers.
When it comes to things I put on my face, I am very fussy of the products I choose. My skin is sensitive in a way that any minute mismatched chemistry that occurs on my skin will cause all chaos and WAAAY too many problems.
I try to stick with products that cosme.net or that my friends recommend. Like I've mentioned before, having friends who work with cosmetics is such a perk for me. Here is a product one of my girlfriends recommended to me that I plan to stay loyal to until the next "new" thing comes along:
The brand is definitely underrated in the U.S. for some odd reason. What is not to love about their products? Beautiful packaging, various lip colors for the cute & the sexy, affordable merchandise. At times I wonder if this brand and Anna Sui are somehow connected. Hmmm . . .
What I love about this primer? It's lightweight with a tint of color which helps start off the coverage on your skin. There's a bit of shimmer to the lotion for that glow that all girls want in their skin.

Paul and Joe's Moisturizing Foundation Primer

I have no idea why my skin appears so tanned in these pictures but here you can see that the primer is more of a moisturizing lotion rather than a creamy formula. Although I cannot prove it with photos, the primer does help my makeup stay on longer and my face does not become as oily as it did before. I can go through an 8-hour work day and would only have to touch up once in-between!
Here's another fun fact that will convince everyone to try it out: this product has been placed 2nd on cosme.net! (Proof, man: http://www.cosme.net/product/product_id/355576/top)
I'm sure it may be difficult to find Paul and Joe products in the U.S. or even internationally. I did find a site that was selling it. (http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/pauljoe/g/moisturizingfoundationprimern/) Hope you guys get a chance to try this primer out because it is just amazing!
