Love it: the Mecca Cosmetica Primer Wardrobe
I’m always being asked which primers I recommend, and often
don’t know where to start! There really is a ridiculous amount of them hitting
the market every week, each promising more tricks and transformations than the
next.
Primers used to be thought of as an annoying – and time
consuming – added step to most women’s daily make up routine, and one usually
just reserved for the high maintenance and beauty professionals. My how things
have changed! We know now that they are pretty much an essential and a must
have tool, making a polished makeup application faster and extending a
product’s life my hours more than it would have hung around otherwise.
The Mecca Cosmetica brand is constantly releasing new
products, and in their collection of beauty must haves are a selection of
awesome primers. One way to have a play with what’s on offer that won’t break
the bank is an investment in their Mecca Cosmetica Primer Wardrobe, which
includes 15ml tubes of their most popular formulas.
Perfect for newbies or for travel, it offers you one heck of
a trio. When skin is feeling dry or in winter, use Fresh Faced for a burst of
silky hydration; for beautifying radiance look to Lit From Within to deliver a
glow to skin; and for an instant blurring of fine lines and pores smooth over
Soft Focus. Here’s a little more detail on the three:
Fresh Faced Hydrating Primer
This one is oil free and suited to all skin types, and is
the perfect primer if your skin is feeling a little parched (post travel, for
example). It ensures skin is left hydrated both instantly and over time, which
means makeup lasts longer and looks better to boot. The primer is formulated
with Hydroviton, a moisturising super-ingredient based on Hyaluronic Acid which
works naturally to increase the skin’s own capacity to retain
water. Magic.
Lit From Within Illuminating Primer
Mecca Cosmetica calls this “beauty sleep in a bottle”, and
it is designed to brighten and revive fatigued skin before foundation
application. With ultra-fine light diffusing particles and antioxidant
protection, it is my go-to for the morning after a late/sleepless night, and it
has garnered me more than my fair share of compliments about my skin when I
really didn’t deserve them!
Soft Focus Primer
This one is a winner in the getting-rid-of-fine-lines
stakes, not only improving the application and staying power of your foundation
but also smoothing and nourishing the skin. The appearance of any fine lines or
visible pores is magically blurred, whilst antioxidant vitamin Coenzyme Q10
protects against free radicals and Hyaluronic acid keeps your skin happily
hydrated.
