The Perfect Face Primer

The primer a woman wears under her foundation can really be the determining factor of whether or not her makeup lasts from morning to night with minimal touch ups. That's why when I came across Rimmel London's Fix & Perfect Pro Primer 002, 5 in 1 Results, I knew I had to share. 

First off, can we get excited that this amazing primer is from the drug store?! As most of us know, even though the drug store has stepped it up in most of it's makeup, it still doesn't offer a huge selection of primers. 

This product claims that it smooths, resurfaces, brightens, mattifies, and protects, and prolongs foundation wear. It says to apply to clean skin, and you can wear it alone or under foundation. I'm not sure what the protects part of their claim is. There is no SPF listed on the product, so who knows what that part has to do with. But for the other four claims it gives, I'd say the primer lives up to it's claims! 

My skin type is extremely oily and I have large pores around my nose and cheek area. After applying my makeup, this product has reduced the look of my pores to almost nothing, makes my skin look more evened out, keeps my oily skin in control throughout the day, and my makeup lasts until night time when I'm taking it off. I had yet to find a primer that truly made my foundation last all day until I stumbled across this hidden gem! 

I used about a dime size amount (shown to the left), sometimes more, of the primer to cover my face. This primer has a very different texture than primers I've used in the past. Most primers have that oily/greasy feeling to them. This primer feels just like if you were applying a moisturizer, but it does leave a slightly tacky feeling when you touch your face, which is probably why the foundation clings so well to it! 

I don't notice a huge difference in looks when applying this by itself. It mainly performs when it comes to wearing it under foundation. But I hope you guys go try this AMAZING primer out and let me know what you think! And let me know if any of you have already tried this product and what you thought of it! 

Have a beautiful & fashionable day!
