Bodyography Foundation Primer Clear Review

So today I’m going to review the first primer I’ve ever tried. I know, being a makeup geek, it’s a little weird not to have used a primer before. May be that explains why my make up gets ruined pretty fast. I had no idea which brand to go for, so upon browsing a little I ordered the Bodyography foundation primer via Aplava.

Because it is that first primer that I’ve ever used, I had no idea what to expect, so I went through my pretty usual make up routine, starting with a clean canvas, applying a toner and a moisturizer and following up with the primer. The primer is a thick gel, and requires a very small amount for the whole face and neck. Upon application it blended instantly, leaving the skin velvety smooth. Touching the skin became a pleasure in itself and the foundation application became as smooth as it can get.

Ever since I left my job last December, I’ve never really worn makeup for a long time so I really can’t tell if it increased the staying power. That one time I wore it on a very humid day (under a tinted moisturizer and not a foundation) and my whole face ended up being cakey by the time I reached my destination. The other time I wore it during a mildly humid day(under a lightweight foundation) and halfway through my makeup I had to go down stairs and my foundation started caking up a little bit by the time I came back in front of the mirror. I have to admit that the humidity in Kolkata has to be the culprit, because the couple of times that I wore this primer on pleasant days, my make up stayed put until I came home so I guess this might be an ideal choice for the winter, and probably for all dry skin beauties, and also beauties from cities that enjoys pleasant/cold weather throughout the year.

P.S: I have a combination skin.

Pros:

  • Makes the skin velvety smooth
  • Makes the foundation application smooth
  • Travel friendly
  • Pocket friendly
  • There’s nothing special about the packaging but for some unknown reason I found it quite appealing.
  • Didn’t break out my super sensitive skin

Cons:

  • Can get caked up if worn during the summer.

    I have this Primer but still unused. i am currently applying the Jovees serum which makes skin so velvety and i feel there is no need to apply primer after that. Skin feels even out and also glowy!
