I was in need for a makeup primer for a while, after cleaned out my makeup collection, all the old products were thrown away and I really only had one primer on hand which came in a gift pack from Priceline. Although I had no complain about the freebie, it's not my own choice, so I went ahead getting a new primer.
After reading all the good reviews of this Estee Lauder Matte perfecting primer, I decided to give it a go. The counter price here is AUD 48, although it's not cheap but with $20 gift card, I ended up paying $28 so not too bad.
There are 2 types of Primer at Estee Lauder, the Matte perfecting and Illuminating Perfecting Primer. I personally like a bit of matte finish for my makeup so got the matte one.
It's in this tube packaging like the maximum cover foundation. After using it for few days, I have to say so far I like it very much especially with my double wear maximum cover foundation. The finish is flawless, after few hours of wear, my face is still fresh and silky at touch. If you are wondering, I have combindation skin and usually my nose will start to get bit shiny and needs a little dab on the powder. But with this primer and foundation combo, it went so well for at least half day without any touchup.
After about 6 hours of wear, I can see my nose tip gets a little shiny but nothing major. I just use tissue or blotting paper to dab it off.
Usually I wear my makeup throughout the whole day, from 6.30 in the morning till 8.30 in the evening after gym. After all these hours and sweating, everything is holding up to place and I don't see anything running down my face or foundation moving around.
I have to say this combo is money well spent and I don't think I will ever change to anything else for my base makeup. These will definitely be my makeup staple.
If you are looking for a long lasting, flawless looking skin and decide to splurge on the base makeup, I highly recommend these products from Estee Lauder.
