Sick of your foundation or eyeshadow creasing after the first hour of wear? Read on for the newest solutions to keep your makeup in place.
For eyes
Create a smooth surface for your eyeshadow to adhere to with Clarins’ Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base. This skincare-meets makeup primer contains oat sugars to mattify and 3D pigments brighten the eye area – a must have for any beauty buff. Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base, $32
I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a beauty brand to land down under before. Urban Decay has been on my radar for the last couple of years for its best-selling and unbelievably high-quality products, especially the Eyeshadow Primer Potions. They’re eyeshadow bases that help lock in powder eyeshadows so they last all day and night, and should be on your wishlist especially if you have oily eyelids. These will arrive in Mecca stores (and the site too) from March 27th. Run, don’t walk. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original, $30
For lashes
This super clever 3-in-1 product works to tint, amplify and set – it’ll coat bare lashes with a touch of black, create a good base for another mascara to go on top of it, or you can layer it over another mascara to protect it from flaking or smudging. Estee Lauder Little Black Primer, $45
For acne-prone skin
If you’re currently fighting breakouts, try Australis’ Blemish Buster underneath your foundation – the formula is infused with salicylic acid to unclog pores, argan kernel oil to hydrate and evening primrose oil to heal the skin’s surface. Australis Blemish Buster Acne Fighting Primer, $16.95
For dull skin
Apply this glow-enhancing primer under liquid foundation to correct pigmentation and fill in pores, bumps and fine lines, or try it with a light veil of foundation powder over the top for sheerer coverage. Shiseido Glow Enhancing Primer, $54
For oily skin
Instead of popping this under your makeup, pat the silky cream on top of foundation to extend the wear of it. This process will also absorbs any excess oil throughout the day and can blur fine lines and pores for a flawless complexion. Designer Brands Blur Skin Perfector, $14.99
