The truth about Foundation Primers

Using a foundation primers is an important step in applying makeup. They  moisturize, even out skin tone, absorb oil, provide a barrier between makeup and face, and help makeup stay in place and last longer. Some of the "best" foundation primers on the market today are made by  Bare Escentuals , Smashbox, Clinique, Laura Mercier, and MAC just to name a few. Not only are these primers good, but they are expensive. Most ranging upwards of $30 for a very small bottle.. This can be very problematic for Divas on a budget. However I have a solution that the beauty companies do not want you to know about, one that you may already have stashed in your medicine cabinet.
