Holy Grail Drugstore Full-Face Makeup Must-Haves

Revlon ColorStay Prep & Protect Primer SPF with Built-in Moisturizer

If you absolutely have flawless skin, you can skip this initial step. Just don’t forget to always wear SPF! The main purpose of using a face primer is to make and keep skin smooth both in texture and coloring, so you can keep your makeup looking fresh all day long. If you experience any acne, uneven texture, or have an oily T-zone,  you can certainly benefit from using a primer! 

This foundation primer perfects and protects. It hydrates as it nixes shine and shields skin with SPF 34 - minus any ashy cast. This primer with broad-spectrum SPF 34 delivers a smooth, long-lasting base for foundation and concealer. The formula wears up to 24 hours! The built-in moisturizer keeps skin soft, while the formula minimizes shine. And you don't get a white, ashy cast - seriously! This is seriously one of our holy grail drugstore full-face makeup fave products.
