Sponge

I prepped my skin with my skincare.

I have decided to prime half of my face, I want to see if the foundation works better with primer or without.

I used my Lottie London sponge to blend the foundation in, the side with the primer is the better side.

The only other face product I used was a little bronzer.

Makeup has been applied and the side with the primer looks smoother.

Update #1 (6pm): Still looks pretty good by this point.

Update #2 (7:30pm): Bit patchy.

Date Tried: Monday 7th June 2021

Brush

Prepped my skin with my usual skincare.

Used my favourite primer on only one half, as you can see the side with primer it looks smooth and not as red.

Using my Real Techniques Buffing Brush I buffed in the foundation, where I have dry patches it seems to budge and move like my chin and nose.

Only used bronzer on my favourite.

I think the side with the primer looks better but I don't like how my nose is patchy.

Update #1 (10:30am): Doesn't look that bad.

Update #2 (7pm): Patchy but to think I have been wearing it for over 12 hours, it doesn't look that bad.

Date Tried: Tuesday 8th June 2021

Fingers

Skincare is an essential for me.

Primed only one side, you can see this primer covers up quite a bit of red marks.

I will always remember as a young teen using the MAC foundation with my fingers, sponges weren't a big thing then. You can see that the foundation looks better on the side with primer, you can't see the red face I have.
