Wedding Day Magic

My wedding day was barely a week ago and my photographs show how the past months products have had a wonderful effect on my skin (some that I still have not shared with you guys but I will!). I did not have to worry or waste any precious time retouching my make-up at my wedding! I enjoyed every minute and smiled at every camera that flashed my way.
The one product that truly shone through all this process amidst humidity, sun,beach breeze, anxiety,nerves and sweating is MICHAEL MARCUS Prime II. This magical product is made by a Dallas, Texas native who obviously understands the negative effects of heat and humidity on make-up. It's packed with aloe to create a moisture barrier and smooth out fine lines, soothing chamomile to fade redness and irritation, hemp oil which fades the appearance of fine lines and a tint that makes this primer wonderful even if worn alone ( I swear your skin will look like a million bucks!) To wear this product I usually wash my face, tone, moisturize and then I brush on some of this primer and ta da! Magically smooth and even toned skin.
Unfortunately this primer has no sunscreen, so remember to wear some before applying it (sunscreen first and then primer if you're wearing it alone with no make-up) and I've also noticed that it goes on best if you use a foundation brush (I use a Sonia Kashuk flat top brush available at Target) than if you use your fingers. Also, while it is a little pricy it is definitely an investment you'll want to make to look your best all the time.
