A quick fix guaranteed to help around the edges. I never promise miracles, just doable magic. Besides, our beauty miracles come from within so this is more about the small stuff.

Primer – I had forgotten about this until I was editing my makeup drawer and found a tube of Smashbox and my Tom Ford Illuminating Primer. How silly of me; this stuff is genius.

Taking the less is more approach is all well and good but sometimes I go too far; I forget my own discoveries and get lazy in the process. Not anymore, I am priming all the way because it does really make a difference to how our foundation sits and our skin glows. You can use it alone or underneath tinted moisturiser or foundation – whatever is your go-to.
The routine goes like this:
Cleanse/Tone/Serum/Moisturise – then – Primer with or without Foundation. It’s easy.
Smashbox was the original primer favoured by professional artists to smooth skin and set makeup; this one I use for special occasions or on its own. Now they have introduced a lighter version that creates a super smooth finish. I have the original but my next tube will be this one. The Tom Ford Illuminating Primer is a gorgeous feel and result all around.
