Splurge, Spend or Save? Pore Minimising Primers

Personally, I think primers are an amazing invention. They are a staple in my daily makeup routine. Having excessively oily skin, large pores and generally problematic skin, primers are an essential if I want my makeup to stay on throughout the day.

There are so many primers out there at the moment, high end and high street, that aim to minimise pores and give you a super smooth, airbrushed base for your makeup. I'm always on the look out for the perfect primer, so I've definitely tried a fair few. I wanted to compare a few different ones that vary in price, and put them to the test to decide which performs the best, as well as considering value for money!

My Top Products for Oily/Acne-Prone Skin

I have been dealing with oily and acne-prone skin for as long as I can remember now.  It's taken me years to find the products that are most effective for my skin, keeping oil at bay and my spots to a minimum.  I think I'm coming towards the end of my severe acne stage, but I'm still horrendously oily (you could totally use my forehead to fry an egg when I wake up in the morning.... no joke).

For all you oily people, the main thing to remember is that you will always look younger than you are.  We won't be getting wrinkles for a LOOOONG time!  Just keep that in mind when you're moaning to yourself about your skin.

These are my absolute favourite products and are staples in my skincare routine:
