Make Up For Ever Step 1 Mattifying Primer
What's your one and only makeup product that stands above all others?
I had been having the worst time trying to find a good primer that would stand up to the Florida heat and humidity, and tried several different primers that all promised to keep me matte and minimize the appearance of my pores with little to no follow through. The only primer that worked was Becca Ever Matte Poreless Primer, but it caused me to break out pretty bad. So, finally when Katie kept recommending this primer, I decided to take the plunge and I was not disappointed!

None of these except for Make Up For Ever's primer helped keep me matte without breaking me out. I also tried Benefit's POREfessional, Smashbox Photofinish, and E.L.F.'s primer with no luck.

ReplyDeleteAs mentioned in my make up video, I'm really loving ELF's pore less primer. Happy you've found the one you love :)!
ReplyDeleteI've always used Smashbox but have been looking for a new one at a lower price point! Glad you found one you love!

ReplyDeleteGreat choice! And what a good feeling when you find the product that makes you happy and work so well without any problems! I hope you have a fantastic Thursday lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love Make Up For Ever! Honestly it's probably the only one that doesn't break me out, either. I've been loving the new YSL one but it's super expensive!
ReplyDeleteI still need to try that primer, I haven't gone in to get it yet! Thanks for the reminder, I know what I'm doing at lunch tomorrow haha!

Gosh I haven't tried that one but I've loved all the MFE stuff I've tried. I'm currently using Tarte and not having any problems like I did with Smashbox. Glad you found something that works in this weather, ugh!
ReplyDeleteI've already added this to my list at Sephora, and I'm definitely going to try it out next time I'm there! I hated the smashbox primer, and I'm not super in love with Benefit right now either.
ReplyDeleteOh my you've tried a lot! It use MAC, but am not in love with it. I'll have to try this one out.

That is my favorite one too! It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteI was at the Ulta that just opened here yesterday and spent a solid twenty minutes debating buying the MUF primer and I didn't, so clearly I will be going back now :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you finally found something that you love!!! It's always difficulty finding the right ones and I go through mine like nobody's business. I'm currently loving the Hourglass primer. It's been keeping me matte for hours!!
ReplyDeleteWoop woop! So glad this one FINALLY worked out for you down there in the Florida heat!!
ReplyDeleteI have read so many reviews of primers over the past few weeks, and I love this one! So good to hear that it was effective and didn't irritate your skin. I have super sensitive skin, so I will have to check this out!

Yay for a primer winner! The humidity is SUCH a test- and Florida's humidity is definitely no joke. :)

Will have to check that out!!! It's not humid where I live but I still feel like my make up is gone at the end of the day ...
ReplyDeleteI've heard only good things about the makeup forever primer from different people - must definitely be a winner!
ReplyDeleteI've always been on Team Smashbox for primers, but I just didn't want to spend the $$ last time I was at Ulta. I picked up the NYX primer instead and it's been great!

It's so difficult to find the perfect product for our needs, so I'm glad that you found your perfect primer.

I never knew how important primers were until like a year ago and now I can't live without them! Thanks for this roundup!
ReplyDeleteNice!!!!! I don't use fancy makeup at all and it doesn't stay well. I think when we get out of debt that I'll be investing in some nicer stuff, this primer included!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found one! Keeping Matte in te Florida sun is essential.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad that you finally found a primer that works for you. I always have sworn by the Smashbox Photo Finish Light primer, but I just may have to give this one a shot.
ReplyDeleteugh the battle of heat vs your makeup job!! i can only imagine how bad it is down there! glad you found one, it's quite difficult!
ReplyDeleteI really have not found a primer that I love yet. I will give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteOmg I need to try this! I get soooooo oily and am always on the hunt for a primer to keep my skin matte! Especially in this heat and humidity! Going to check it out for sure!

I've heard so many good things about the Too Faced one and was really wanting to try it out(and I still may) but now I'm going to look into this one too! I have oily skin so that's a problem a run into as well. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteTotally grabbing this one next!!! I can't tell you how many countless ones I have tried and haven't been in love. I have heard a few people saying great things about it!
ReplyDeleteI rarely ever use primer...Maybe sometimes for eyeshadow but that's it. Do you use this one all over your face?
ReplyDeleteI never use primer because I just don't know much about it! But I do love everything by make up forever so maybe I'll try theirs! My favorite product is aqua brow by makeup forever :)

Oooh I need to check this one out!! Thanks for sharing - one of the many reasons I love reading blogs :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you found .still looking because my skin a bit sensitive
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to give this a shot. I'm still on the search for my holy grail primer. I've bought everything from ELF to Benefit to L'Oreal to Smashbox... ugh. The list goes on and on. Right now I'm working my way through a bottle of Bare Minerals and it does the job but it's not GREAT like what I'm looking for.
