affordable primers
The best primer imo! tacky, grippy, lightweight. its like lash glue for makeup! A must have!
Power Grip Primer
I like that this covers my pores when im having a bad breakout. does cover pores but doesnt block them so my breakout isnt worse when i take my makeup off!
Liquid Poreless Putty Primer
I like this, It isn't my favourite primer but it does work well for the price. Tacky so it does hold the makeup down, just not a huge fan of the feel of the formula.
