Don't you remember when you got a sample with a purchase and the sample was better than the purchase? This is how I felt the first time I got a sample size of this product. Of course, I had to get the full-size. It's amazing. I love it. A small amoun...

Pro Filt'r Mattifying Face Primer - Fenty Beauty
Photo Finish does exactly what it says it does. It's great to use for a night out when you're going to take a lot of photos. It's a rich, gliding, decadent formula that pairs well with lots of foundations. I'm not a fan of Smashbox foundation but the...

Another win with an affordable brand. This power grip formula is available in two ways. I tried the bluish green color and it got the job done. My makeup stayed in place and lasted all night. I guess the grip was real.
Power Grip Primer | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Don't ever sleep on Milani. This affordable line has some great gems on their hands. I like their facial oils, eyeshadow drops, and now their primers. This primer glides on well and minimizes pores. It's a great addition to my makeup collection.

All Nighter Face Primer - Longwear Foundation Boost - Urban Decay
I got this in a promotional gift bag and it was a great gift. I was actually kicking myself that I didn't get it on my own sooner. It's from NYX and so it's affordable and high-quality. I'm unsure if it's still available in stores, but I'm sure you c...
