Ladies. Over the years, I’ve come to realize how a good makeup primer should be a staple in everyone’s beauty routine.

I’ve tried several through out the years, including the cult favorite by Smashbox. They were good, but nothing really impressed me. That is until I got a chance to try out Manna Kadar Cosmetic’s Camera Ready Foundation Primer.

I only wear foundation on special occasions and usually wear tinted moisturizer every day. While it provides enough coverage for me, it can fade by mid afternoon making powder touch ups necessary.

I put the Camera Ready Foundation Primer to the test during my normal makeup routine in the morning. I immediately liked the texture-lightweight and goes on with a silky finish. Next, I applied my NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (in Annapurna). I noticed my pores appeared smaller and the overall coverage was better. The best part is that it lasted ALL day—no powder touch-ups and no oil blotting papers needed.

For $42, it’s well worth the price and a tiny bit will go a long way. Head over to www.mannakadarcosmetics.com to purchase.
