OMG in this video you really look like the divine Eva Green!!!
Update video Lisa? Please ❤️
Lisa, Could you post an updated video on Primers? Is the technology the same as 8 years ago or has it improved since 2010? I’m at the age now where I may need it. Sadly.
VERY useful! Thank you!!
This has been really helpful! Thank you 🙂
always happy when i search for info on make up and lisa shows up cause its easy to understand and she gives good examples and her honest opinion^^
any new 'favorites' for 2017? thank you! xo
I love how much detail you give into your tutorials. It really helps me understand the core of makeup application and allows me to mold the techniques into what I need
Hi everyone =) I got a sample of the clarins primer (the first time I used primer..) and my skin reacted in a very unpleasant way. I also got reactions to other clarins creams (samples) but I thought I give it a go. I know I do have very sensitive (rather dry) skin, so can anyone recommend a primer for sensitive skin? 🙂
see this is where i beg to differ, moisturiser and primer have different purposes
Hi Lisa, Is the Guerlain really give lifting effect after long term of use, or is it just temporary effect while it's on face? Thanks for the video!
I have tried so many different primers and they all give me black heads. Gross. I thoroughly cleanse my face too so i don't know why. I now don't bother and i no longer get blackheads
Your presentation was most informative and greatly appreciated. Thanks for your expertise with the many different products. I was also resistant to use a primer after moisturizer and felt it was just to heavy. I shall give the primer you demonstrated a try and I also have one other you pointed out to be beneficial. My skin is very oily but needs some more help lately. Thanks
I really wish they could create primers with high SPF's because truthfully, we should all be wearing protection under day time foundation.
Thank YOu Lindsay. Great guide. Very very useful:)esp the tip on moisturiser.
Hi Lisa, I wanted to let you know that you can still find the Dr Brandt -No more pores primer on Birchbox. Here is a link. Hope this will help.https://www.birchbox.co.uk/shop/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/864/s/dr-brandt-pores-no-morer-pore-refiner/?gclid=CMna962Oh8sCFcO4Gwod0ngElw
wow Lisa, this hair color looked amazing on you!
Thank you yet again for another great, informative video! Is there any way that you could do an updated one?? There are so many ones out there and I'm an aspiring MUA trying to figure out which products are worth having! Thank you for your amazing wisdom and for sharing it! xOx
That's why I love you Lisa. You have THE BEST information!
Hi, Thank you for this video. I use Mario Badescu oil free spf 30 moisturizer on my skin every morning. It's the only broad spectrum spf moisturizer I have found that does not "gum" up my foundation. Would you agree SPF is a must in skin care routine? If you suggest using a primer instead of a moisturizer with SPF how would we solve this problem ? (since there are hardly any primer's out there with spf as high as 30 excepting the one you mentioned which is only spf20). Could one apply an spf moisturizer EARLY in the day's skin care routine and waiting a good length of time for it to absorb then try the primer? I'm sure many people would be curious. Thank you so much. Your video's are great.
I absolutely swear by primer, and I've been using my Clarins one incorrectly. I've been using it daily, slapping it on and rubbing it in. Thanks so much!
I just discover this video and I reaaly enjoyed it! Lisa is such an amazing teacher. I don't really use primer because of my oily skin issues and a lot of them causes me to breakout. It makes so much sense to use moisturizer instead of primer. Excellent video!
If you can use it as a moisturizer, what about the SPF you need daily?
Hi, Lisa, thank you so much for all the tutorials you are doing! I would also like to beg for an updated primer video! Especially on how to choose the right primer for different types of foundations (water-based, powder, etc.), and also if you could recommend some moisturizers and sunscreens that work well with makeup.
Why would it be bad to use the Clarins beauty flash balm everyday?
I finally found the clarins beauty flash balm in Singapore(not available in HK) but it's a nightmare to apply anything over it. (Yes I do pat, light sweep like in the clarins video) hopefully Lisa will reveal the secret.
There's no doubt primers work, but silicon based ones can't be good for your skin!
I have big pores in the cheek area and pimples near the jawline and hairline. I am still unsure which primer to use? Can you please help me. 🙂
hey Lisa <3 Could you give us some tips about deep pored skin ? please ?:)
many thanks for sharing your experience, you are amazing as a guidance, God bless
I have always used the Clarins Beauty Flash balm as skincare before and when I saw this vid years back, I tried it as a primer and that was when trouble started LOL Couldn't get a foundation that really fits it and my foundation will always end up rubbing off and making a mess. Still can't get it right unfortunately…sigh~~~
Hi Lisa! Big fan 🙂 I was wondering what do you think about Guerlain's permanent primer???
I never knew primer can be used instead of moisturizer.
It will be great an update video with the best primers of 2014/2015!!!! Thank you!!
