Following the success of their Facefinity All Day 3-in-1 Foundation, Max Factor extracted the secret behind the long-lasting foundation and delivered this primer. It promises to prime, mattify and hold your makeup in place for longer. But does it deliver?
The product is a white cream which easily blends into the skin. When applied, it actually feels very moisturising to me, which is not something I often experience with primers! My favourite thing about it is that it doesn't feel silicone-y at all, so I don't feel as though I'm suffocating my skin. It feels very lightweight on the skin.
I definitely see a difference when I use this product before my foundation. I feel as though my foundation applies a lot easier and just looks a lot better. I have really dry skin in the space between my brows and I find that my foundation always sticks to the dry patch there and just doesn't look great. This still happens when I use the primer but by about 90% less so I can't complain!
As I expected, it does help to keep my foundation on during the day. My day at work involves a lot of running around but by the end of the day my makeup looks just as good as when I first applied it, when I use this primer.
So yes, I think the primer does live up to expectations. I probably would buy it again, but I really want to try the L'Oreal Studio Secrets Primer, so I'll probably try that one when this runs out!
Have you tried this primer? Or is there a primer you particularly love? Let me know!
