Re: THINKING OF TRYING A PRIMER TO COVER PORES....

@4kitties  - I use the Real Techniques damp sponge when applying my IT CC Cream foundation.  I get an air brushed look.

 

Do you plan on using it dry or damp?  Maybe try both ways?

I love Supergoop unseen sunscreen for face! It works as a beautiful primer over my skincare, is not greasy and you can use foundation or not on top.  It doesn't borher my very sensitive skin or neck and makes my face look flawless!

I may try using it both ways, dry and damp.  I am thinking the dry will work but I remember, back in the day, when Leslie was on all of the time with bare esentuals, I used the damp method to apply the foundation with a brush.  I would spray the brush lightly with water and I got a better coverage on areas that needed it.

@Dazlin I'm sorry for all of the pain you are going through.

That is almost too much to deal with.

@Dazlin 

Take care! It's tough going thru caring for someone and going thru grief.

Several years ago we lost my inlaws 3 weeks apart and my dad 6 months prior so I do understand and send you many hugs.

@NYCTem77 , For spot treatment, I tested the Benefit Porefesional primer against NYX Pore Flller Targeted Stick side by side and couldn't tell any difference between the two.  So, if you don't need it all over, the NYX is much cheaper.  I was able to get a mini Porefessional at Ulta since I wasn't willing to pay the price for the full sized one without trying it out first. 

 

I have since moved on from the NYX as I mentioned earlier in this thread.


@Icegoddess Tanks so much for the rec of the NYX dupe.  I'm DEF going to try it out!

I used to be Tem77 but QVC lost my account! All my A/D orders have been re-instated phew!
