Mary Kay Primer Foundation Primer Review

I normally don’t use make-up primer when getting dolled up for an event.  I think the moisturizer and the sunblock I use on my face is enough as a base for my “canvass”.  But when I received this from Mary Kay along with the Bella Belara Perfume, I want to give it a try and see what difference does a makeup foundation really do, particularly this Mary Kay Foundation Primer.

Product Info
Is a lightweight gel primer that is made to create the perfect canvass for a flawless foundation application. It contains an optical difuser that helps skin look smoother while extending the wear of make-up.

How to use:
Apply to entire face and blend gently using the fingertips.

On My Face

You can barely see the difference since its translucent, I like it!

What I think about it:

• I like that its translucent so you can hardly see if its there or not. For some it may be a con but for me its a good thing because it won’t interfere with the color of the foundation I’m using.
• I like that its very lightweight so I wasn’t bothered about the feeling of having too much stuff on my face.
• It did made the liquid foundation (not Mary Kay) easier to apply
• My makeup looks more polished and my makeup lasted longer!
• The gel primer is easily absorbed on the skin so its up to you if you want an heavier application or just enough.
• I didn’t break out after using this product compared to some who said they did.
• I really love the translucent finish. It also make my foundation look matte but I don’t look dehydrated or aged.

Do I recommend it?
If you are a fan of makeup primers then I recommend this one.  I’d use it again for an all-nighter event because it made my make-up stay longer and I don’t have to go for a retouch except for my lippy.

How about you, have you tried the Mary Kay foundation primer? If not, what is your favorite make-up primer?

Stay gorgeous everyone!
