So this was a product that I thought sounded amazing, it was everything I was after in a primer and I had my hands on it when the strobing phase made way in the beauty industry so this product sounded too good to be true.
It comes in a flat squeeze tube container, which has has a pearlescent looking finish, and a gold metal coated lid.The lid twists off to reveal a small nozzle which is a design that works well. Really classy packaging in my opinion.
The primer is a creamy white colour is like the packaging, has a pearl luminosity about and shimmers of gold throughout. The consistency is good, and looks like a lotion in regards to thickness.
The primer is easy to use, and i just put it onto my face after moisturizer. It does add some luminousity to my face, which can still be seen after foundation.
Personally, i find this product only adds a slight glow to my face and nothing amazing. It also seems like the glow wears off faster than I would hope and there I also find this primer makes my foundation slip (only on my t-zone which is prone to oiliness).
Overall, this primer isn't for me-even though I had high hopes for it. I would not be repurchasing it
After trying several cheaper primers and not liking the silicone feel I was talked into this by the girl at the counter. While it felt nice when first applied it was absorbed very quickly and then made my skin feel rather tight. When I saw the name "illuminator" I thought my skin itself would have a nice dewy glow about it but instead it was just covered in a cheap looking shimmer. It created a more even base than not having a primer but for me it was not reflective of the price point. Felt more like a serum than a primer. I do wish I had been offered a tester first as now I am still on the hunt for the perfect one. Will keep looking!
