Choosing the right moisturizer, primer, foundation combination

When choosing your foundation, face primer, AND mositurizer, you NEED to check the ingredients on the packaging!

You cannot mix oil with water or silicone

You cannot mix water with oil or silicone and so on.

You have to make sure that your foundation, primer, and moisturizer are all either 

water based, oil based, OR silicone based.

This video below helped me and after I learned this little trick, 

I found a combination that worked for me (listed below)

My choice of foundation, primer, and moisturizer (for my skin type)

 is water-based.

Having a water-based foundation helps me to keep my skin more clear than piling on an oily or silicone-filled substance.

I use:

Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15

Smasbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Light/Oil-Free

I know that this is a very expensive primer (i think it runs for about $50 for the full size and 

$17 for the mini travel size)

I purchased the travel size to see if i liked it first and i love it! 

ive had it for about 2 months and it hardly has a dent in it.

so $50 for a primer will last you foreverrrrr!

(L'Oreal True Match Foundation Review)

The very first ingredient listed in all of these products is water 

and my makeup stays looking really nice and doesn't separate

 from the time I put it on to the time I take it off everyday.

(about 12 hours)
