So the time has come to replace my primer after it ran out. I've been using the Barry M Flawless Primer for quite sometime and, although it's good quality and really good value for money, I've been finding that it does leave my skin looking quite shiny underneath my make up, so I thought it might be time for a change. I thought a matte primer might do the trick, and the reviews for this one on the Boots website seemed pretty good so I thought I'd give this one a try! It's a little bit more expensive than the Barry M one at £10.99 but there seems to be a lot more product in there, which is good! (That's the only thing I didn't like about the other primer; it did run out very quickly)
First Impressions
So the formula feels really light and smooth, which is really nice as I hate heavy primers, especially if I'm putting a liquid foundation on top of it as I find my make up tends to feel quite caked on. It does have a really strong perfume to it which I'm quite concerned about as my skin is a bit sensitive, but according to the Boots reviews the smell should fade. It also has a fairly good coverage when you rub it into the skin, so I don't think I'll need to use too much product to cover my face.
How It Looked
Ok, so this is more of a "How It Felt" kind of thing, since it's pointless showing you what the product looks like on my face as it dries invisible!
Like I said before, the coverage of this primer is really nice so I only needed a small amount. I sometimes find with different primers you can often get white marks where it's not blended properly before it dries, but with this on it's like using a serum on your face. My skin did feel quite tight after using it, which I was a bit worried about, but that went after a couple of minutes. It also kept its matte finish under my make up for the entire day. I get really shiny on my forehead and around my nose but I noticed a lot less shine after using this product, which is great! Very happy with the Happy Light Serum!
