MAC, Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage £19.50

I'd be lying if said that this primer didn't have me at it's wonderfully sparkly packaging! The biggest thing I was looking for in a new primer was that it evens out skin tone and did its best to combat redness and this promises all of that so I decided to give it a try. I really like that it's a pump mechanism but I won't be saying that when it's running out and I can't get to the hard to reach bits of product! I found that one pump of this is enough, a little goes a long way, I did go a bit overboard when I first used it and it made my face feel greasy. The actual primer is a white pearly colour and leaves your fingers looking quite glittery but it isn't overly noticeable on the face. Once applied it leaves me with such a lovely glow which I've never had before solely with primer on my face, the primers I've used in the past have usually made my skin look quite matte if anything. I didn't really notice a big difference in my skin tone or redness which was really what I was looking for so back to the drawing board with that one (Any suggestions?!) but my foundations glides over this effortlessly and blends a lot better, I was having a few issues with my foundation applying around hairy face areas (eyelashes and eyebrows) it was going all flaky and as I was using a new foundation I had never used before I blamed that but since I've started using this primer that doesn't happen any more. This does everything a primer should do and gives you a nice healthy glow without any effort, what's not to love?!
