I wanted to let you all in on a new beauty regimen that I’ve been hoarding to myself.. I feel I should share it with somebody! Do you all prime your face before you start layering on your makeup? Well, if you don’t, take the advice that I was dished by one ultra fab gay makeup artist named Umberto at Napoleon Makeup in the San Francisco Center: “Not to prime is a crime.” At first, I was a little taken aback by the price of the primer I think it was around $50 or $60 dollars. I’m guessing they dropped the price though bc it’s on $39 on their website. So.. how was it?? Well, to tell you the truth it was more than I expected. I’ve used primer in the past and usually ditched out after a few weeks of pretending it did something to my skin. For the first time ever, I’ve used this primer to the absolute last drop. I’m out now and actually about to buy my next bottle! It glides onto your skin.. and really feels like an extra coating. My foundation goes on smoother and lasts longer through the day. Also, I used to break out once in a while on my cheeks from my blush but this hasn’t happened once since Napoleon came into my life! Umberto, wherever you are, bless you for opening my eyes to the world of real priming. You can count on me not being a repeat offender! Everyone else out there – give it a try!
