The best Bang-for-your-Buck Primers.

Primers, to some people, can seem a total waste of time, money and effort - I wish I had that luxury. As a girl with oily skin, a primer is a must in my everyday makeup routine otherwise my foundation would look like a hot mess by noon. Not fun. 

Now I've tried alot of primers in my makeup lifetime and I've got to say that most of my favourites come from the drugstore - winner - so here are some of my much loved, low-end primers.

Max Factor Face Finity All Day Primer - This one is my all time favourite drugstore primer, it works so darn well. I first heard The Sunday Girl rave about this one so I had to pick it up to see what all the fuss was about - it just makes your base stick around all day. I still get a bit oily on my forehead, nose and chin but nothing compared to what could happen without it.

Retail Price: £10.99.

The Body Shop's All-In-One InstaBlur - A great one for shine control and glazing over those complexion imperfections. It just blurs everything you'd like covered and prolongs the wear of foundation - it's a keeper in my collection. A little pricier than the others but definitely worth it. 

Retail Price: £14.00.

Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer - This one would be great for those girls who don't suffer from terribly oily skin and just want to make their makeup last all day. I love this one for the smell (it smells delightful) and how smooth it makes my skin feel, it makes applying foundation a doddle. 

Retail Price: £6.99.

Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer - This one's the best for girls with dry skin. It's a serum, so simultaneously adds hydration to the skin whilst extending the wear of your makeup - what's not to love about it? This is great for adding radiance to dull complexions too. I love using this in the Winter time and it's sister - the matte version - in the Summer.

Retail Price: £10.99.

Primers are quite literally my best friend in the makeup world, without them I'd truly be lost.
