You Little Beauty – Makeup Revolution Pro Prime Aqua Priming Base

I was in the middle of ordering a load of make-up brushes from the Makeup Revolution website for my upcoming You Little Beauties Make-Up Class that I’m running in a few weeks when I came across this primer. I was intrigued, as it came in the form of a spray.  I already have their Fixing Spray (which is great) so I thought I would try this too.

I absolutely think this is the bees-knees and I think its great value for money as it comes in a 100ml bottle (airport friendly) and it’s in the form of a spray which means a little goes along way.  This is going to last me ages.

Primers keep your make-up looking perfect and flawless throughout the day and gives staying power.  These little beauties tend to have silicone (or some variation of) which help fill in pores and fine lines therefore creating a fabulous smooth base for make-up and the best bit; your make-up stays on as silicone is super adhesive – make-up will cling to it.  You can get primers for every concern; correcting redness, brightening, smoothing, evening out skin tone, hydrating, sun protecting – you name it.  I tend to go for the pore minimising ones due to my HUGE pores that look like ripples on my cheeks.  The primers that I like and can recommend are Rimmel’s Fix & Perfect Pro Primer (£7) – this does everything - its brilliant.  Maybelline's New York Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Lightweight Primer (£8) - this is as fabulous as Benefit’s Pore Professional Primer (£25) and cheaper.  KIKO’s Mat Base Corrector Primer (£9) and now I have Makeup Revolution’s Aqua Primer to add to this list!
 
I like to give my face moisturiser chance to sink in before I apply primers and foundations so I normally pop my body creams on and deodorant while I’m waiting. Now I noticed on the first couple of uses, that my eyeshadows were quick to smudge when applying them.  As you guys know, I have the oiliest eyelids on the planet and I have to use my Urban Decay Eye Primer whatever I’m doing but everything I put on my eyelids was coming off. So I wondered what I could use in order to protect my eyes and I remembered that I had loads of those 3D cinema glasses in a drawer.  I looked a bit of a berk first thing in the morning with the glasses on but I sprayed my face while protecting my eyes and they were nice and dry for my Urban Decay and eyeshadows.  However, I have since started to spray the primer into my hands and press it onto my face instead of looking like I’m auditioning for Men in Black IV.  Thankfully, it still gives the same finish.

 

Once applied, my HUGE pores are refined and smooth and my skin appears to radiate.  I like using it with Makeup Revolution's Ultra Face Base BB Foundation (£3) which provides a dewy, healthy finish and the effect lasts the day.
This water primer is enhanced with multi-vitamins which hydrates, revitalises and boosts radiance.  My skin feels very comfortable all day and when I come to remove my make-up at the end of the day, my skin is in good nick.
