Makeup Primers - Banila Co vs. Missha

Makeup primers are not always necessary but they do help your foundations or bb creams stay on longer and look better. I hate putting on extra products on my face but these two things do make all the difference in the world. 

I purchased a couple of banila co products on Gmarket a couple of weeks ago, including one of their top selling products, the prime primer in classic matte. Now I do have combination oily skin and this goes on very smoothly and not super thick. 

It is comparable to the Makeup Forever HD primer as it goes on light and it works just as well. It's a wonderful makeup base and I usually use it with bb cream. I haven't experienced any complications with the product yet but it's still a little too much for an everyday product. It's 30ml, it cost about 20CAD, and it contains sebum control powder. I give it a 7/10 because while it keeps my makeup on, it is a little too dry and it sometimes creates some weird makeup lines on my face from the bb creams. 


On the other hand, Missha's BB Boomer is specifically made to prepare the skin for bb cream. It contains pearl powder and antioxidant ingredients that help keep the skin moisturized and illuminated. This product really helps my bb cream stay on longer and it makes my complexion look much brighter. Yay! =) My skin definitely looks like it's glowing with this under my bb cream and it doesn't melt off my face so that's a good thing hehe. I think I like this better than the classic matte primer because it's like putting moisturizer on my skin rather than a makeup product. I got this at pacific mall for about 12CAD and it's 40ml. I've used this for over a year now and it's still one of my favourite products. This is highly recommended and I give it a 9/10, one point because it still makes my face a little shiny during the day.
