I brought this primer from Myer about 12 months ago for $39.95. I had been looking for a full face primer, and this one promised many things
Description From the Website: (I have misplaced the original packaging)
Create the perfect canvas for flawless face foundation application with this silky, oil free and paraben free, hydrating skin primer. Enriched with Hyaluronic spheres this primer visibly improves the look, texture and tone of the skin by filling, plumping and smoothing out fine lines and pores leaving a fresh face complexion. Suitable for all skin types this lightweight primer will make your make up last longer and may even be worn alone on non- make up days for a natural, healthy velvety smooth finish.
My Opinion:
I really like this product; It is very light weight, glides on smoothly and feels like you're not wearing anything at all. As a silicone based product people might expect an oily residue on the skin, but it soaks into the skin; smoothing lines and filling pores leaving the skin feeling silky smooth.
It has a pump for easy application, one pump will usually cover the whole face. With this primer I will get a full day out of my make up. I would recommend using an eye-primer such as, Naked Decays Eyeshadow Primer Potion around the eye area as this is probably its only weak point.
I moisturize before applying the primer, it doesn't hydrate the skin enough to be used in place of a moisturizer. For best results apply Moisturizer up to 30 mins before applying primer. The moisturize will be well and truly absorbed, leaving no oily/creamy residue behind.
It works well with liquid and mineral foundations. Liquid foundations glide on over the top, blending with ease and mineral foundations stick to it giving it a good even coverage.
I would recommend this for all skin types but more for people aged 20+ (if younger, with really dry skin). The silicone works really well for anti-aging the skin. A big thumbs up in my book.
I don't use this product for everyday make-up. I use it for special occasions and long days in harsh weather conditions (summer is a really good time to use it). The only reason I don't use it every day is that it is quite costly.
