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.
About

skin marvellously soft and smooth.
Ingredients:
Not mentioned.
Price: INR 725 for

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.
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
- Affordable
- 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..
