Moroccanoil Root Boost $47.50 gives volume to flat or dull looking hair. Simply spray into damp hair and style as normal.
Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer is another great mineral option for priming! Skipping primer might cause your makeup to fade faster, become patchy and flake off. Eliminate these concerns by trying the Smooth Affair Primer by Jane Iredale $63.97 for a bright & flawless base.
