LOL @Kirstie I can assure you my cheeks do a hell of a lot of moving, I never shut up

Face Primer wise its Laura Mercier for me every time. I have the Photo Finish but I find things don’t look as “fresh” for as long with it.

Im a complete convert to the primer situation and have always used UDPP along with their Maui wowie shadow with a lil bit of heavy metal too! I work in a cocktail bar and with the horrible steam from glass washers melting the makeup off it requires amazing stuff to keep it in place. This is super news, TFSI is my next “budgeted for” spend! But on a foundation related topic… Im using a YSL one atm but im not convinced, so help is required, is the smashbox pf the best??

Thanks girlies!!

I like UDPP too, though Too Faced wins for me on all scores, but there’s no way I’d expect photofinish to keep shadow in place. For starters, eyes move so much more than cheeks and you’ve probably already got foundation and powder on top of PF as a key for blush; with shadow primer you place the shadow directly on to it for grip, with nothing in between, and that particular product has a lot of slip – PF wouldn’t do it for me, anyway.

Waaaaaah? Ken agrees: “I would not put it on the eyes as shadow would slip off and crease,” he reckons.

Um how come my blusher doesn’t slip off and crease then? Or my bronzer?

Anyways, I’m a UDPP gal, I think it all depends ultimately on your skin type, if you’re a bit of a greaseball on the lids (like moi) it definitely lasts longer IMO. I prefer the consistency and packaging of the Shadow Insurance but no cigar on results.

If I use neither I am 100% guaranteed creasetastic lids about an hour after application. xo

I juat adore my UDPP and find most of their products (glitter liners,pencil liners and eyeshdows) just great!
I used Smashbox Photo Finish under my foundation but have no idea if it actually works!

Does anyone know where I can get the new Christian Dior Radiant Base primer in beige???? It was out recently as part of their Spring range but it was Limited Edition and is sold out in BT and Debenhams in Cork. I got a sample of it and it’s unreal. Now I just won’t rest until I have it!!!
