Benefit Stay Flawless 15 hour primer~ Review!
I first saw this online on the Benefit website and thought nothing of it- as I was looking at their foundations. I then saw this in life at a Benefit counter in John Lewis ( a UK manufacture)- The counter girl was very friendly and took me through the different primers they have on offer. She gave her own opinions- which I loved to hear and only persuaded me more to buy this certain stick primer. I could of bought everything she recommended! she even persuaded my mum to buy a new foundation! Anyway- This was £24 from Benefit and I love it! In some ways more than others, mind you.'Stay flawless'
This primer come in a stick, and claimed it could hold your makeup for 15 hours and make you flawless! However, if your foundation does not make you flawless as it is, don't expect to be flawless with this primer. The primer certainly holds your makeup for a long period of time without it changing from what it looked like from when you applied it at 8am!
'15 hour primer'
Many primers claim they can stick your makeup for 24 hours to your face. However, not many I come across claim a reasonable time- especially a big expensive brand. I was interested and had to try it. I loved the primer itself, being a stick and not a cream so it wasn't messy was a bonus to me and you cannot waste anything! This primer certainly impressed me! On a good day (good weather, good skin, good body temp (No sweating))my makeup stayed the exact same for the next 9 hours, it was when it got around early evening when I noticed my makeup starting to slide from my face or my blemishes started to show.
However, on a normal day (average skin, had a sport activity where I sweat and the weather is good) I tend to notice my nose shining by lunchtime (just after my activity) . I will just add a bit of powder and I'm set for the rest of the day!
On a bad day though (bad skin, bad makeup, really sweat from activity's and it rains) my makeup will start to slip by mid morning. I would apply a bit of powder- but then have to re apply by mid/late afternoon! Luckily, I don't have many bad days!
In the evening, when I go out for a party where dancing is involved, I will have shiny face by late evening. However, a quick application of powder and I'm set for a hour or so of more dancing!
Overall:
I give this primer 4.5 stars out of 5! The primer certainly impressed me- as many primers have disappointed me and I wish I would have gone to benefit straight away! I will certainly be rebuying this product again and will be recommending this to all my friends! This primer may be expensive, but it's totally worth the buy! It just about lasts me a month! I just apply it over my blemishes or T zone!
However, I would use a good moisturizer before hand- even though this product does not dry out my dry patches (or oily). It does not hydrate them either- your on your own for that one, kid!
Recommended for all skin types!
