Today’s question is: “You can keep one: Primer or Setting Spray?”
Hi Darlings, so today’s post is going to be another: Mimi & Julia Ask.
Where we are going to ask you a beauty related question and we want to read your answers so make sure to leave a comment.
If you have a question for next week you are free to ask and I’ll make sure include it in another post and to give you credit for it.
You can keep one: Primer or Setting Spray?
Mimi: This is a no brainer for me, Primer all the way. I definitely see a difference when I use it. It minimizes my pores and makes my makeup last longer.
My top favourite comes as no surprise since I’ve been using it for years, the Clarins Sos Primer Blurs Imperfection in 02 Peach. I love it because I can use it on its own too.
Here’s my unedited before and after. Impressive right?
Julia: I’ve never used primer because I tend to put face cream under foundation and I don’t feel like I need anything else.
So I’ll go with Setting Spray. I like to use to make every face product I put on mesh together. Normally I use the MAC Prep + Prime Fix + because it works nicely and I love the scent.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN: LEAVE US A COMMENT SO WE CAN START A CONVERSATION.

Agreed! Primer ALL THE WAY. I like that Mac setting spray though. Just picked up some primer and setting spray from Fenty that I still need to try.
Mimi dice
Their primer is nice, but I’ve never tried the setting spray so let me know how you like it!

I like how you guys have completely different answers. I haven’t come across that primer from Clarins but what a difference it makes! It may be something I need to look into!
My answer would be KEEP PRIMER.
Thanks for sharing dolls!

Thank you for reading! I haven’t been able to keep it down since 2018! That’s how good it is!

Setting spray! Primer always makes my skin look flaky, so I stopped using it.
Mimi dice
It happens to me too with silicone primers. The Clarins one I always use doesn’t do it and it’s amazing. I use the shade peach but I’m pretty sure they have a darker shade too. It doesn’t really show on the skin as coverage but the darker one would be better to brighten up your complexion.
I also like the Mac one that’s completely sheer

I’d probably say I’d keep the primer because I forget my setting spray all the time and my make up holds up pretty well.
Mimi dice
Ahahahah makes sense
angela@marathonsandmotivation.com dice
The setting spray sounds great!! I have never used one before, but I am going to give the MAC product a try!!!
Erica dice
I honestly don’t use either, but if I had to pick one it would be primer since I will use illuminating creams, or oils, etc first before I go in with base.
Mimi dice
It makes sense, you should use an hydrating primer but then since you are so dry I assume you don’t need pore minimiser. Smashbox has an AMAZING primer oil it would be perfect for you
Erica dice
Yea I don’t have as many issues with my pores. I mean, I have ‘em and I can see ‘em but that doesn’t really bother me a lot! Is it the Photo Finish Primer Oil?? That one sounds amazing!
Mimi dice
It’s great! You’ll love it
With love, Caroline dice
I could get rid of both, actually hahaha but yeah, maybe I’ll keep the primer! 😄
Mimi dice
Hahahhaha
The Newbury Girl dice
I’m def team primer all the way. I did inside whenever anyone says they’re a scam. Also, that before and after photo!!! I need to try this primer ASAP.
Mimi dice
You’ll love it! It’s unreal
Rossy Galaxy dice
Definitely primer. I’ve also noticed a difference on how my makeup wears throughout the day.
Mimi dice
