For the longest time I wasn't using primer at all before applying my foundation. To be completely honest, I didn't know what primer really was. I would just wash my face and immediately start applying my makeup. I always wondered why my face was so oily during the day and that's because I wasn't using a primer.
My skin is a combination of oily and normal, it depends on the weather or how active I am during the day or night.
With primer, it helps with smoother application of your makeup, controls oil, evens out skin tone, and reduces the size of your pores.
When I learned about primer 6 months ago, I went out and purchased a liquid base oil free primer. Those type of primers worked pretty good and made my makeup foundation just glide on my face and also I got better foundation coverage using a primer.
When I was contacted to try SKINDINAVIA's The Makeup Primer Spray and The Makeup Spray Oil-Control before they launched, I was very interested on how it would work for me. I never heard of a primer spray before and SKINDINAVIA is the first company to come out with one.

- GOOD FOR YOUR PORES NOW, GOOD FOR YOUR PORES LATER!
- THE RESULTS ARE IN - SKINCARE MEETS MAKEUP
My Review
OMG I love these sprays! You got to see all the compliments I get on my makeup each day! My makeup comes out flawless using these two sprays combos!
Here are the steps I do:
- On a clean and moisturized face, I spray The Makeup Primer first in a T formation, just a few pumps.
- I apply my foundation like normal.
- After my makeup is completely applied, I spray on The Makeup Spray Oil-Control as a finishing spray.
Is SKINDINAVIA’s The Makeup Primer Spray and The Makeup Primer Spray Oil-Control Worth a Try?

I wish I could beam this onto my bathroom vanity in time for the dinner Scott and I are attending tonight. I have a T-Zone so slick, you could fry my son's hash browns on the bridge of my nose.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is oil free to boot? I'm SO in.
I've always been mildly curious as to whether a make-up primer would help...I hope I win so I can try this out! lol
The T-Zone is always my problem area, I hate that! Girl you're going to love these sprays because they really work out without the harmful chemicals.
DeleteI've been using the Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray for years and I absolutely love it. I just noticed the other day that it's made by Skindinavia! I wonder how they compare? Great review!
ReplyDeleteI never knew that Urban Decay had a primer spray and very surprising that Skindinavia made it! I, too wonder how they compare.
DeleteI do wear makeup during the summer I usually switch from liquid to powder foundation this year I don't know I have to find a better powder foundation....this seems like an awesome product sure hope I win!!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just made the switch from liquid to cream to powder foundation by Fashion Fair and it seems to be much lighter on my face. People say that cream to powder foundation is much heavier but Fashion Fair oil free brand is not and I wore it all Summer long in the hot South heat last year and it lasted on my face all day.
DeleteI wear basic things such as eye shadow. I am not really into makeup mainly because I suck when it comes to finding colors to match my skin and applying it. If I could overcome those two products I would probably be makeup crazy. #ProductReviewParty
ReplyDeleteYou'll need to visit a makeup artist for help Victoria to properly match you.
DeleteI do wear makeup during anytime! It's a must:)
ReplyDeleteYep, you're just like me Thalia!
DeleteI live in the South and it's hot hot hot during the summer...I keep my makeup to a minimum and I only put on a "full face" for special occasions.
ReplyDeleteThat's a smart thing to do, I wish I could but I have old dark acne scars and use makeup to cover them up.
DeleteI usually don't wear foundation much, but my daughter is always saying how important primers are to your makeup.
ReplyDeleteYes Stacie, primer is very important to make your makeup last all day.
DeleteIt is some great primer sprays to use Susie.
ReplyDeleteI do, but I lighten it up during the summer months since I'm out in the heat a lot.
ReplyDeleteI lighten it up during the Summer months too.
DeleteI do, but I wear wear less face makeup
ReplyDeleteI do wear makeup in the summer, I love makeup and trying new products!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
You're welcome Shanna!
DeleteYes I do, unless of course I'm swimming or at the beach or something like that.
ReplyDeleteI do still wear makeup in the summer but sometimes I skip base/foundation if I'm going to be outside for a long time because I tend to just sweat it off. I still wear the rest of my makeup though :)
ReplyDeleteI wear make-up 365 days a year. I love wearing make-up and playing with different shades and looks despite the weather or season. Plus in the summer it's fun to rock bright and bold lips with a flawless complexion.
ReplyDeleteI love to rock the bright bold colors!
DeleteHi! I absolutely wear make-up during the Summer months. lol I love playing with make-up & changing up my eye shadow looks. This Summer I'm especially liking Too Faced 2014 Summer Palette. Fun!! Thank-you!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to need to check out that palette, thanks Natalie!
DeleteI do wear it regardless of the season, but I wear a lighter foundation in the summer. A primer is a must, otherwise the foundation will melt off in the warm weather.
ReplyDeleteI try to wear full makeup even if it's hot summer but only for special ocassions. Other days I leave my fave breathe and wear just the eye makeup.
ReplyDeleteYes, I usually do still wear makeup during the summer months, but more so on my eyes, and not as much on my face. The reason being because I have really oily skin, so this product has me very interested! :-) Thanks so much for having this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteUsually-it isn't any different than wearing it in the winter!
ReplyDeleteYes I do.. I definitely need to try this!
