little white truths

Verdict

You may have heard me say before that I've never had much luck with primers: while I've found a few I enjoy using, until this one I hadn't found one that made makeup last longer. This does. Like all Bodyography products I've tried, it mightn't look like much (I wish sometimes that they'd fancy up their packaging), but it's a little workhorse and does exactly what it's meant to.

This is without question the only primer I've used that makes an obvious difference to makeup lasting power - others might, but I have to test them by applying them to half my face and seeing how my whole face wears throughout the day. I didn't need to do that with this product because the results were clear.

As to the other claims, it's true that it's fine for my sensitive skin, although I've noticed no difference in my skintone over time. I would be surprised if a primer could impact that, particularly because it usually goes on top of serums and moisturisers and I'm not sure how much penetrates where it needs to, to have that kind of result.

It definitely gives you a smooth base for foundation and is weightless and oil-free. Really, it's a wonderful product and I can see why it's one of Bodyography's most popular items: if you have a look at eg beautyheaven, you'll see that I'm not the only one who loves this little product.

You'll see I've tagged it as one of my HG products - that's right, I've finally found an HG primer! Fortunately I also have the bronze version in full size, so I've got more of this product to play with when this travel-size tube is gone. Huzzah!

Wonderful.
