Four years ago, i first knew about make up primer. Thanks to TLC`s "What not to wear" program!. Ussually, the pretty make up artist ( I forgot her name, blah!), put face primer and then face powder. The result? Glowy and very natural. Waaa, me want! And just this year i got to try my first make up primer. Hehehe.

My first primer is from REVLON, called Revlon Photoready Primer.

Description ( from www.revlon.com):

Lightweight primer smoothes skin while evening out skin tone with color correcting pigments that neutralize redness and uneven color. Wear alone or under foundation.

Amount: 

27 ml

Price:

 150.000 rupiahs or USD 14 on your nearby Revlon Counter

Packaging 4/5:

It comes in glass bottle. Hmmm, not so travel friendly but in the other side, it looks more elegant and has this pricey feelings. Hygienic! for it comes with a pump so  i don`t have to dig my fingers in to get some product

Finish and pigmentation 4/5:

Finish is matte with no coverage at all. The strange color of lavender actually going to turn translucent upon application. 

Oil Control and texture 5/5:

Texture wise, it is somewhat very soft. This primer will harden upon contact with air, i think. Because everytime i pump, there always this hard crystalized lotion and it is originally the leftover primer that stuck on the pump. Oil control is very good, i like it. It definitely makes my make up long lasting.

Conclusion 3/5:

This how the primer works on my skin. I took the pic two weeks ago, when my face broke out. It reduced the redness and pores, just like what it claims. But i do not like the fact that it feels hot and uncomfortable if i do not put thick moisturizer beforehand. Have you experience this? And also when i put this primer, it is very hard to work on foundation because the foundie or bb cream can`t glide easily,resulting in uneven application. I have to use buffing brush and slowly work on my foundie/ bb cream. Not convenience at all. If you do not mind these downsides, i think the primer will work just fine on you, because it does reduce the pores and redness while making the make up last longer.

Aside from the primer, i want to share with you a giveaway that Rosdiana from Rosdianalittleword has! She is generous to give us the make up that we dreamt of.
