Skin Prep Products for combination skin

Hi all my beautiful ladies 

I haven't wrote anything for an entire year but i will be quite active from now on.
So here are some skin prep products that i use before i apply my make up. Before i start i just need to say that my skin is quite dry with an oily T-Zone so these products i will be introducing are what i think has worked best on my skin.

1. Guerlain L'Or

So this product is a radiance concentrate which can also be used as a primer, you would put this on after your daily routine in the morning just before you apply any make up. This product has a very watery texture with a light fresh scent great to use for summer and it has real gold flakes who wouldn't love that. Now this product is quite pricy costs around R1840, but you only need one pump for the whole face so one bottle can last for very long. 

2. Clarins UV PLUS 

This is basically a sunscreen but specifically for your face, ladies please do not use normal body sunscreen for your face, it is way to oily for the face which can cause pimples. I suggest to use this because everyday we are exposed in all kinds of UV which can cause spots, freckles and sunburn. I would use this after i put the Guerlains L'Or on, this product is white in colour but very light and watery, has a very nice scent also great to use for summer. It also has SPF 50 and anti-pollution. For a 30ml is around R 460.

3. Givenchy Doctor White

This is also another option for UV protection. This has SPF 50 and also is used for brightening the skin. This product is a pinkish lavender colour and the texture is quite thick so this product is better to use in winter as it is much richer than the Clarins one. 

The lavender colour also gives the skin glow. This product is pricier than the Clarin's one but i cannot remember the price exactly.

4. Nivea Men post shave balm

I know this says for men and it's for shaving but this product is really great to use as a primer. My make up always lasts for the whole day when i use this. The product is a white liquid quite runny and it smells divine if you are a person who likes the fresh smell of men after they shave. It also does not contain any alcohol so it's suitable for people that has sensitive skin. This 100 ml only costs R100 and i have put mine into a pump bottle all i need is one or two pumps. So this is great for someone who does not want to spend a lot of money on primers.

5. MAC mineralize concealer

This concealer is great coverage for pimples or redness as i have been getting quite a lot of pimples lately and i love to pop them so when i do apply make up i definitely need a good concealer for coverage. This bottle comes with a brush which makes application super easy and you can control how covered do you want your blemishes by applying multiple layers. I normally apply with the brush and then use my fingers in a tapping motion to spread it out evenly. This concealer is great for dry skin as i find most concealers too dry for my skin it would start flaking after a hour or so. But i haven't had any problems with this concealer. This costs R350 for 5ml.

6. MAC Prep+Prime

This product is great as a highlighter for under the eyes, bridge of the nose, chin and forehead. I am using the lightboost which is the yellow one. There is not much coverage so if you have dark bags under the eye i would suggest using a better coverage product to cover the darkness first before using this. For 3.6 ml this costs R360.

7. Urban Decay Naked Skin color correcting fluid

I have the lavender color one which is used for optical blurring, illuminating and color neutralizing. It is great for brighting up the skin where it seems dull, The lipgloss brush head makes it easy for application but i also using the same finger tapping motion to blend out the product and don't worry if you feel like after applying it your skin colour seems unnatural, after you apply your foundation your skin will look normal and radiant. Cannot remember the price for this product either.

So above are the products that i find great to use before applying make up. 
P.S All opinions are of my own and not subjected to any brands.

Thank you for reading till next time my beauties xoxo
