Primer is a product that generally gets overlooked by me, which is odd considering that I own quite a few. 

I usually just feel like they add an unnecessary layer on my face and, seeing as I don't usually have a problem with make up lasting on me, I don't feel like it's an important step.

Having said that, now that we're coming into Summer, I have realised that my make up is going to fade a lot faster in the sunny weather.

With this in mind, I was more interested than usual when I heard about the latest primer release from L'oreal, one of my favourite brands.

I picked it up hoping that it could solve my make up worries so, read on to hear my thoughts!

What They Say

This silicon-based primer promises to mattify, prepare and smooth the skin.

It will glide on seamlessly while minimising the appearance of fine lines and pores, the perfect pre-foundation step!

What I Say

I like the packaging of this, the squeezy tube is handy and the nib is great for squeezing out the right amount of product. 

This clear primer has a slippy silicon texture to it and I like to use it mainly on my T-zone where I can get a bit shiny on a long day.

It doesn't feel heavy on my skin at all like some primers and sinks in quickly but, if silicon doesn't agree with your skin, then I would steer clear of this formulation. 

I like to apply this underneath dewy foundations on the days when I want to tone down the sheen and it works very well as it doesn't make a dewy foundation dull, it still lets some radiance come through.

I found my foundation blended well over this primer and all in all it's just a great little product and one I'll get a lot of use out of in the Summer months. 

Check it out guys!
