Happy September fashionistas! I’ve just noticed that Bec Boop reached 200,000 total blog views so this is a fantastic start to the month! I’ve reviewed some face primers from Paese Cosmetics just ‘Click to View Post’ below for the full review.

There are three make-up bases available in the collection so I tried out each of them as part of the review. These primers were developed to “enhance a flawless complexion, creating a perfect canvas that allows you to apply your make-up effortlessly”. The primers can be used alone or under your foundation, if using with make-up Paese recommend applying the base five minutes before applying foundation.

I tried out each primer under my daily foundation base. First up is the Paese mattifying base for oily, combination and t-bar skin. This base contains Vitamin E and silicone and is recommended for evening out the skin and creating a more youthful appearance.  This base is a clear fluid which is absorbed quickly into the skin. Then we have the Paese illuminating base for dull, tired skin. This contains illuminating micro-pigments which reflect the light beautifully giving you an instantly brighter complexion. Finally the Paese smoothing base for normal to dry skin is a light, creamy formula promising to give you silky smooth skin. This base is enriched with macadamia nut oils for natural moistursation.

The primers are €12.99 for 15ml available from www.paese.ie (where you can also check out local stockists). I was really impressed with the illuminating base. It’s become an essential part of my ‘night out’ make-up routine now as it gives the perfect party glow. I love it! There are no overwhelming perfumed scents and for sensitive skin I had no issues using these under my make-up. I wouldn’t use the illuminating base for a normal day time look and in this case I would recommend using one of the mattifying or smoothing bases.  I had a chance to check out more of the Paese cosmetics products at the Ultimate Girls Day Out event recently.
