Prime Time

The holiday party circuit is right around the corner, which means cocktailing, mingling and looking perfectly made up while jetting to various soirees. So what's the key to ensuring your makeup lasts? It's a good primer people, and I bet many of you don't use one! Primer helps your makeup stay flawless while partying all night long and ahem, into the next morning for some of us. Here are a few of the best of the best:


Smashbox Photo Finish Light: the lightweight version of the original cult favorite Photo Finish, this primer is perfect for oily or sensitive skin. Packed with vitamin C, peptides, vitamins and antioxidants, this primer not only helps makeup last for hours, it improves the appearance of skin. Light diffusers minimize the appearance of imperfections while oil absorbers provide a smooth, matte finish.


Makeup For Ever HD Micro-Perfecting Primer: this nourishing primer helps makeup glide on easily and last all day (and night) and comes in color correcting shades and a translucent shade. My favorite is the blue, which adds radiance to fair skin and reduces minor imperfections.


NARS Makeup Primer: this brand can just do no wrong in my eyes; I have never tried a product from NARS I didn't love. This gel-creme primer is lightweight and contains natural botanicals to reduce redness, making it ideal for sensitive skin or those with rosacea.
