лореаль smothing primer

While paying my bill at the counter, I thought I was free of her at last, and I breathed a sigh of relief, but one last look at her just to see her final reaction, and she came up to me again and said вІ

LвІ oreal products made in China, my Korean brand much better.вІ

LвІ oreal products clog pores.вІ When I turned my back to go to the counter, she followed me and said, вІ

touch my face,вІ and when I kind of tried ignoring her, she caught my hand and rubbed her face with it! Her face felt as sticky as a monkeyвІ s bum. I promptly and defiantly picked up the LвІ oreal primer and put it in my basket, while she told me вІ

I chanced upon this LвІ oreal primer in Guardian Pharmacy, Singapore, and when I swatched it on my hand, I felt such extreme softness and smoothness and I was really impressed. However, an SA from some Korean brand on the other side of the LвІ oreal counter came up to me and started telling me about the primer from her brand. She talked and talked and praised her brand so much, then swatched a bit of that Korean primer on my hand вІ it was more like a tinted moisturiser, but I didnвІ t feel the same softness and smooth finish as with the LвІ oreal primer. By this time, I was totally distracted and irritated.

I found out about primers and their (helpful) usage about 2 to 3 years ago. Having such oily skin, with open pores as well, I always used to wonder if there was something I could apply as a kind of base before my makeup, which would help in smoothening the skinвІ s surface, controlling the oily look, as well as covering up the open pores. Hurray, when MAC opened their store in my city and I discovered MAC Prep + Prime.

5. Can also be worn alone on clean skin.

4. Leave for a few minutes before applying foundation.

3. Apply a thin layer all over face or concentrate on specific areas where make-up doesnвІ t last as long; chin, lips, eyelids.

2. Rub primer between fingers.

1. Cleanse and moisturise skin as normal, leaving time for the moisturiser to be absorbed.

While a moisturiser is designed to hydrate and protect the skin, a primer is used to mask wrinkles and uneven textures in the skin before foundation is applied. Some women believe that their foundation alone can help hide these irregularities; however foundation needs to be applied to a smooth and even-textured surface for it to look its best and stays on the skin for longer.
