I've never really dabbled in the world of primers. I have tried some cheaper ones such as the Nivea one and a Body Shop one, but never really found that they did much for my skin or make up. It kind of felt like I was adding an unnecessary layer to my face.
I bought a Clarins set from duty free when I was in the airport on the way to Tenerife last year, and discovered a whole new world of skincare.. including this! I love the way this make my face feel silky smooth and ready for make up! After cleansing and apply my moisturiser of choice, I pat this into my skin and allow to sink in for a few seconds.
The packaging says apply make up immediately, but I like to give it a sec or two just to soak in properly. Once that's done, my skin feels plumped up and smooth, as though I've just given it a really good scrub. It also feels very moisturising on the skin which is great for me as I have quite dry skin, and you can feel that layer of moisture for the best part of 4-5 hours so my skin feels relieved of it's usual tight, flaky self.
As you can see, the product is a salmon pink/beige colour but when applied, goes on invisible. I find that my make up applies so effortlessly when I use this and lasts a lot longer. There is a funky scent to it which I can only describe as being similar to your Grandma's perfume, but I've grown to sort of like it and find it comforting, and haven't had any breakouts through the use of this balm.
Overall, I love this product! I think I will repurchase it after it runs out as I just haven't found anything as good as this!
Have you tried the Beauty Flash Balm before? xox
