Skin talk || Primers & Breakouts



Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot pre-foundation Primer
All too often I get clients and friends complaining about how their foundation is starting to give them unwanted breakouts. Most people assume that it's the foundation causing the breakout, which can be likely. However not priming before makeup application can contribute to nasty breakouts. 

Primers not only help your makeup to last longer, it also creates a barrier between your skin and the foundation. Oil-free and Silicone free primers, prevent clogged skin, therefore reducing the likeliness of breakouts from makeup-wear.  

Napoleon Perdis Auto-Pilot
Pore MInimizer & Mattifier
Napoleon Perdis Auto-Pilot pre-foundation Primer, is my absolute favorite! I switched from MAC prep + prime, to this one just over a year ago and never looked back. During the summer months, where I tend to get oily in the T-zone, I use the Napoleon Perdis pore Minimizer  & Mattifier. 

A Primer does not replace moisturizer, but it is just as essential! Always Always moisturize and follow with a suitable
primer for your skin type.
