Oasis Perfect Finish SPF 30 Make-Up Primer Review

I was admittedly quite skeptical about a sunscreen which can adequately hold on to my makeup. Usually my makeup - whether it's powder or liquid - slides around after applying sunscreen. But wow this is so impressive!

It smooths out over the skin really easily, yet feels thick enough to be providing enough protection. It dries relatively matte, and dries quickly too.

The white zinc particles can end up gathered around my chin by the end of the day, but it's an easy fix to rub it in with your fingers.

Oasis sunscreens across the board have a distinct 'sunblocky' smell which is almost like sulfur. I found it really icky at first, but am used to it now. I would much rather have a sunblock smell and know I'm getting enough sun protection, than have fragrance and photosensitive essential oils added which can cause major issues with both the quality of the product and delicate skin.

Picked this up in their flash sale end of last hear for $1. Bargain. I have tried this as a primer base but not really fond of it. I prefer to use this strictly as a face sun screen. Smells and has the consistency of standard sunscreen. Doesn't have much of a white cast either making it ideal.

Has just been discontinued so won't be able to repurchase.

This primer came in my mystery box. I like a primer under my foundation so I was happy with that. It comes in an easy to use tube. The products is a white lotion that applies easily and absorbs slowly enough that it leaves a nice base to place foundation on. It has a hydrating effect.

It works well and does exactly what it is supposed to do, which is provide a base for foundation. And I love that it has a SPF 30. Which means I'd be happy to wear it alone without any BB cream or foundation. I haven't done that yet though.

I have been using it under foundation or tinted moisturiser and I like the effect. It is very similar to other primers I have used and is not better nor worse than any other. But the price was definitely right for this one. I was lucky to get the opportunity and I would use it again.

I recently ditched the heavy foundations, to try a natural and lighter makeup application. With a bit of research, and a tempting buy one, get one free offer, I decided to try Oasis. My skin has been a little broken with changing/trying so many products so I decided I needed to go back to basics.

I got this primer as the freebie for purchasing their mineral foundation and have to say I really like it and it really compliments their foundation.

It has the consistency of a day time moisturiser, so not a lot is needed. It has an SPF to it also, which is fantastic. A pea size amount will cover face and neck easily. I leave it for a few minutes to settle in before applying makeup. I use this with the Oasis foundation and have found my makeup looks fresh and dewy when first applying and remains hydrated through the day and foundation stays in place. My foundation also blends very well, without streaks or issues.

The big win is that my skin hasn't broken out at all, in fact it looks clearer and brighter, and the breakouts have healed fast.

I haven't tried the product with another brands foundation but I'm really impressed with the product. It's pricier than other primers I've tried, but with the SPF and the hydration benefits I find this one actually suits my skin well.
