Colorbar Perfect Match Primer: Review

Hey guys,

So today I’m going to review one of the most of most import thing of makeup routine especially in summer when your makeup disappears at lightning speed due to heat and humidity. It’s  a Primer

Primer helps keep your product in place for long time by binding agent between your skin and makeup. It goes in after sunscreen and before foundation. It also helps to apply makeup much easily as it form a good base for your makeup to stick on.

For the longest time this was the only primer that I owned which you can guess from the wear and tear on its body, and I was quite satisfied with it.

Ingredients: Not mentioned.

Packaging:

Colorbar Perfect Match Primer come is sleek semi transparent white color tube with sliver twist cap, which looks really classy and chic. Packaging is quite sturdy which makes it really travel friendly. It has a nozzle to dispense the product which helps regulate the amount of product released from tube.

Truthfully I could not have asked for better packaging.

Texture:

 It has smooth thick gel like consistency, which feels slippery on the skin due to all the silicone additives in it.

My experience:

Colorbar Perfect Match Primer blends easily on the skin making it smooth and reduces the appearance of pores. It smoothens the uneven texture of the skin which helps your foundation glide on easily.  All you require is pea sized amount of product for entire face. 

Coming to its oil controlling properties, my face stays oil free for good 5 hrs. Even in Mumbai Humidity. My foundation stays fresh and longer when I use it underneath it. It acts as a barrier between the natural oils of case and makeup and prevent the breakdown of makeup you require fewer touch ups.

 

Pros:

• Hides pores & Smooths out uneven texture,
• Controls oil for a longer time
• Helps concealer/foundation to glide on easily on the skin
• Spreads and gets absorbed very easily on my face.
• Increases stay time of base
• Gives a glow to face.
• Packaging is travel friendly

• Only small amount is needed.
• Didn't break me out.

Cons:

• Ingredients not mentioned.

Overall thoughts: 

It does everything you expect a primer to do – minimize imperfections, give smoother base for foundation, control oil and keep the base looking fresh for longer time. All in all a perfect primer and at reasonable cost.

Rating: 4/5

Recommendation: It is a decent primer which does good job on budget , but not really a must buy as there are lot of other budget primers in market..
