Having immersed myself in the makeup world for the past few years I’ve developed a high appreciation for primers and all the magic they can work. A good primer can make or break a look, depending on how it reacts with your foundation of choice.
I’ve been watching Laura Gellar’s Spackle Under Makeup Primer ($23) for awhile now, so I was super glad to get to try it out. I’ve tried it under mineral makeup, liquid, and powder foundations and all have had the same exceptionally smooth and long lasting results. My makeup stays on all day and stays fresh.
It’s not a multi tasker, so it’s not good for oil control or anti aging or anything like that, it’s just a primer that preps the skin to receive foundation. A little goes a long way, so half a pump is about all I need to do my entire face.
If you’ve got oily or sensitive skin, this product may not work for you because some people report breakouts or a shiny finish later in the day, but if you’re dry like me and want a light weight primer, I’d say give it a go!
