When applying makeup many people often forget about putting on a primer. Although primer is extremely important because it provides a good base for your makeup and helps it last longer.

Here are some of my favorite high-end primers:

–Benefit POREfessional primer is sold for $31.00 at Sephora and is perfect if you want to minimize the appearance of pores.
