Which primer....Mallys Perfect Prep or Perfect prep neutralizing powder?

I asked about the foundation once before & some nice ladies helped me pick one & I absolutely love it. Now I would like to chose a good primer but cant decide which would be the best. So again I am coming to you guys for advice. Thanks so much!

Re: Which primer....Mallys Perfect Prep or Perfect prep neutralizing powder?

I've used just about EVERY primer out there and I stick to 2 only now. My favorite & number one choice is Mally's Perfect Prep Primer. It's a light & creamy texture & feels like silk on your skin. I prefer to use liquid or cream foundation with Mally's but it works well with powder too. My 2nd favorite is Laura Gellers Bronze Spackle (it's not a dark bronze,very faint & gives your make up an extra little glow,not glittery) It's a gel consistency & glides on very smooth. I prefer the Spackle under powder foundations or when it's hot & very humid,however it also works well with liquid/cream foundations.I think it controls oil better as Mally's seems to have a slight moisturizer to it. If you have oily skin,I'd go for Laura Gellers Spackle (any color you like) but if you have normal to dry/combo skin,I'd go with Mally's. They're both great products & you only need the size of a dime to cover your face & neck. (If you use too much it may pill a bit). And always let it set for a few minutes before you start putting your foundation on. Hope this helps Smiley Happy If you have anymore questions,just let me know. Good luck!

So glad I read this. I also use Mally's Primer Prep. Lately it has been pilling on my face and now I realize that I've been using too much. (I have a habit of more is better). I could not figure out why it was doing that and now I know! Thanks!

I actually have used tinted bronze spackle for several years and was using it (still use at times) up until Mally came out with powder primer. When I'm getting ready for work, I can't help it, I use the powder primer; simply cannot beat the convenience of this powder primer, easy of use and how quickly you can get ready and out the door. I never notice a difference in how either of these primers work, my face always looks the same at the end of the day, so I can't say one is better than the other, only that the powder is super fast and super easy.

I have also tried almost all primers out there. Pretty much they all either gave me hives, rashes, made me breakout etc. Also, all the primers I have tried have NOT kept my makeup on for more than 1-2 hours. So frustrating!

However, my search has ended (finally) with Mally's Perfect Prep Neutralizing Powder Primer! I have a lot of redness in my skin, and this actually covers pretty good on it's own, but is fantastic under and over my foundation with out making me look dried out or cakey. It is super fast and easy to apply as well, and doesn't irritate my skin in any way. And, it actually makes my foundation stay on all day!

I really hope Mally sells this awesome primer individually ASAP...as I am getting quite low!

I prefer the powder as it sinks in immediately and it can't pill/roll when applying foundation. Plus, as the warm weather hits, it's one less liquid/wet product to layer on my skin (HATE that feeling when it's hot).
