You might have noticed this popping up a few times on my blog recently. I've noticed it a few times floating around in the blogging world but when I saw it on Kate's blog I was sold and needed it then and there.
I really believe in a good primer- I'm not a huge foundation lover, I prefer a correcting primer and heavy duty concealer. BB and CC creams, which I've never really talked about on here, don't really cut it for me. They're always just a little too orange for my never-seen-sunlight skin.
This primer aims to correct the flaws of your skin, as you might have guessed from the title. The three colours all have separate targets..
"The revolutionary new product contains 3 color-correcting brighteners:
Green tone instantly neutralizes redness and conceals blemishes
Lavender tone counteracts sallow undertones for a vibrant, energized look
Peach tone brightens, illuminates and helps diminish the appearance of sun spots"
One of my biggest skin concerns in redness, having it tackled in this is exactly what I've been looking for. It's quite a creamy formula, and it sinks into my skin really quickly, though I do normally wait a few seconds just to be sure. I don't know if my skin has the other complaints that this primer is designed to tackle, but it makes my skin look noticeably healthier, and it feels a lot smoother to apply make up to.
I apply it by putting a pump on my hand, blending the colours together then dotting it over my face and blending it in with my fingers. The finish is quite dewey, and leaves my skin with a healthy glow. If that's not your cup of tea it goes away with minimal powder, and still does the job of all that colour balancing.
The packaging itself is also something to rave about; it's clear so you can see how much you've used, there's a pump applicator (one pump is enough to cover my face well), but also it's made to look like DNA. If you're not impressed by that... well, I love it. Simple minds and all that?!
I picked this up from Boots for £24 (find it here) for 30ml. It might seem a bit pricey for a primer, but having tried almost every high street one there is I felt like a treat. I've been using it almost daily since I bought it just over a month ago, and I would say that I've barely made a dent in it- maybe a fifth is gone at most.
I would definitely recommend this if you're looking to invest in a new primer, I can't see it leaving my make up bag any time soon!
Do you think you'll be trying this out?
