Everyone loves Smashbox, but I’ve tried it so many times, and it just becomes a gritty mess when I try to apply anything over it.

Laura Geller Spackle is smooth and doesn’t go gritty, but it never really did anything to prevent “sliding” due to oil.

But MAC Prep+Prime… when I found it, I knew I’d never fall in love with another face primer again. Smooth, creamy, no grit, massive amounts of sun protection for my lily-white self, and it helped me kick oily skin in the arse! It’s pretty much perfect.

I have to use a good moisturizer due to my dry, dry skin…. and I find I don’t need a primer on top….

I just got a sample of that spackle, and I love it, I usually use the smashbox stuff, but I’m seriously considering replacing it with the spackle. it’s amazing.

Coastal Scent Silica Powder ($4.00 for 1 oz tube -it’s huuuge!) and works just as well as Make Up Forever High Definition Powder ($30.00)

I also like Camellia Rose Primer, works like wonders hiding my ginormous pores hehe
