Today, I come to you with a primer review. Yes, a primer that gets it's own post. This primer has worked exceptionally well with all of my foundations and hasn't disappointed me. I am also a fan of the Benefit's Porefessional Original primer. I have tried other samples out there and I kind of know what kind of texture I enjoy. I am not a huge fan of primers that are silicone based. These primers tend to roll and glide on the skin against hydrating skincare products. Main reason being because silicone doesn't mix or absorb. It just sits there. The creamy texture to Benefit's Porefessional is one that I can use with any moisturizer or oil at that.
With the Matte Rescue Gel Primer this product does not do well with my face creams that contain SPF. I have to be careful with the amount that I use. It does work well with First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream and the likes. Any gel based moisturizer has done really well with this primer as well. This primer smells like a berry to me. I cannot put my finger on it but I get a fruity scent from this primer. Absorbs into the skin quickly as well. It works great with my drugstore foundation and my high end foundation as well. It's a huge bottle for a primer in my opinion. This primer is shy of a few bucks than it's original counterpart as well. With daily use, I can see this product lasting me about 6 months. A little bit goes a long way. I massage it into my skin from the center outwards and of course focusing on the oily areas.
Check out your local Sephora to try out this product in store or take home a sample to try it out.
