I’ve tried my share of primers from NYX marshmallow primer to Smashbox photo finish to Traceless Soft by Tom Ford.

But nothing has quite caught my attention like Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Hydrating Primer.

As I toggled between Bobbi’s formula and R.E.M’s blurring lunar magic primer, I was of course comparing them.

What enticed me was what lured me when I took home

What encouraged my choice to go with Face Base were the derivatives included in the embossed pot. A clear container, showing off a creamy yellow hue, is adorned with an engraved black top.

When it comes to face primer I don’t mess around, it's the first step in a process that will define the day. You present how you feel.

A little history:

Face Base started as a little-known skin care product in the background of runway shows and sets. Now it’s utilized by makeup artists all around including Mixed Makeup.

Whether you’re staying at home to hang out with the kiddos and need a brighter complexion to ward off a sleepy vibe. Or you’re working on a client with normal-oily skin types. This product will give you some of your best looks from the bottom up!

The inside scoop:

It comes equipped with the powers of grapefruit which will give you a radiant glow. Not to mention how well it fights photodamage! Who needs that?! On those sunny days when I’m out on the beach this ingredient brings out my natural light.

As for those with acne spots or who worry about aging skin? That’ll be where Geranium oil comes in to kick acnes’ butt! I’ve already noticed a reduction in my chin breakouts and I’ve only been using this product for a week!

This oil also promotes cell reproduction and thus reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

It’s a real confidence booster when I’m not feeling like putting on a full face.

The other key factor in this one-stop skincare/all-day primer is Saqualane. On its own sounds goofy, I’ll admit that. Though this gem offers detoxifying benefits and provides protection for your skins’ outer layers.

Other brands I love which include Squalane are Milk Shake Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane Facial Toner Mist.

Face base keeps my foundation locked on with no where to go.
