At long last I've decided to finally inventory my makeup. This has been a long time in the making. Let's start with the primers. When I first started using primers 10 years back, they were an indespensible part of my routine. My oily skin simply loved it & my makeup stayed put for much, much longer. I started with the L'Oréal Base Magique one which was pretty much the only Primer available in India back then. While I loved the product I felt it was overpriced (like ALL L'Oréal products) at nearly a thousand bucks. After that I've used ELF Mineral Primer in Green which was also decent & tried the God-awful Nivea After Shave Lotion.
Now 10 years down the line, my skin is less oily & makeup seems to stay put without the use of primers. Consequently I use primers only for special occasions when I am wearing makeup for extended periods of time. Here are the ones I currently own.
ELF Mineral Face Primer in Clear
USD 5
Fairly decent quality. It's not the best but does an OK job.
Maliao Magic Perfecting Base Face Primer
INR 300 for 30 ml
I love this primer. It looks & feels so luxurious and performs like a BOSS. If I ever run out of primers this is the one I will be repurchasing.
SFR Color Primer in #120 Green
INR 99 for 30 ml
This is the worst primer I've ever used (not counting the Nivea one). Doesn't seem to do anything at all. Plus the green tint does not show & hence does not colour correct like it's meant to.
Ideal number of primers I would like in my stash - 1
(Including this just to track my progress in about a year's time)
Also Primers are on the No-Buy list since I have so many & don't use them nearly enough
