My Top Three Favourite Makeup Primers




Tatcha "The Silk Canvas" Primer: 

Welcome to bougie-ville! We've all heard the hype around this product, makeup artists, influencers, bloggers, YouTubers, and aunties everywhere were talking about back in 2018 – and I'm hear to tell you that it's 100% worth the hype! 

This primer helps my makeup last, keep my face from getting oily throughout the day, and is like an added step of skincare. I even wear it when I am not wearing foundation (or any makeup at all) as it helps to protect your skin from pollutants, and gives your skin a velvety finish! 

$68 at Sephora.

Arbonne Makeup Primer

I've recently jumped onboard the Arbonne makeup train, and this primer is one of my fave products from their line. It's vegan, gluten free, and of course cruelty free. A tiny amount goes a long way, and I apply it to my t-zone and the areas where I have larger pores. I will say, if you use too much of this product it will make your skin feel greasy! And you can feel it sitting on top of your skin, so only use a small amount and it will cover your whole face.

Touch In Sol "No Pore-Blem Primer"

I got this primer in a Boxycharm box last year and hated it there first time I tried it. But I realized afterwards, that I used way too much and with the wrong foundation. For this primer, I use a small amount and press it (don't smear it) into more pores, and really work it into my t-zone. Then I only like to use it with a more liquidy, lower coverage foundation like the Armani Luminous Silk. Heavier foundations don't mix as well with this primer. 

$24 at Sephora.

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
