In the words of Napoleon Perdis "Not to Prime is a Crime"
Well while i'm not a total devotee to priming, I only really do it when I know I need my makeup to last and when my skin needs a little extra to make my foundation look a little more flawless.
The primer I use is the Face of Australia Primer and though I haven't ventured and tried any others (the Australis one is on my list to try) I find this does the job of what a primer is supposed to do, which I believe is make your makeup last longer and provide a flawless base for your face.
I'd also heard the Napoleon Perdis primer is quite good as well and i'd heard that the ingredients in both were similar. They sure are! They both boast their main ingredients are Chamomile, Vitamin E & Yarrow Extract. While I have not tried the Napoleon Perdis primer myself i'd much rather pay $40 less for the same ingredients.
Here are the product descriptions for both Primers, now while I don't have exact amounts of everything that is used I can't imagine it'd be very far off.
Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Primer 50ml - $49.90AUD

Filled with calming botanicals such as Chamomile, which softens redness, and Yarrow extract, which reactivates the beneficial ingredients in your skincare and foundation. Pure Vitamin E smoothes skin texture and adds hydration, keeping skin looking fresh and flawless all day long.
Face of Australia Face Base Primer 50ml - $10.50AUD (approx)
Enriched with Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate skin and Chamomile to smooth your complexion, leaving it fresher and brighter.
It fills fine lines & wrinkles for a more balanced surface, so foundation applies evenly and stays on longer for all-day flawless skin.
- Oil free so wont clog pores
- Yarrow extract encourages cell regeneration
- Improves performance and wearability of foundation
The Face of Australia primer retails around $10.50 but it does seem to vary from store to store. I actually saw a deal in BIG W yesterday with it for free with the purchase of 2 Face of Australia products.
Have you tried both out? Let me know if you think one is better then the other and if it is worth me paying the extra money for the Napoleon Perdis version.
