One of the ways to keep your make up stay throughout the whole day is to prep your skin properly.
And of course that goes without saying, you skin care before make up:
1. Tone
2. Serum
3. Moisturize
Besides that, putting on a primer is also one of the key point.
Benefit have release their Benefit Stay Flawless Primer which claim to keep your make up looking flawless for up to 15 hours.
For someone with oily skin, having my make up staying for more than 3 hours without budging is a big deal which is why I rush to get this primer the day it was release at Sephora.
It retails for about S$50 if I remember it correctly, around the same price point for some of the primers found at Sephora.
I can't help but to compare the Stay Flawless primer with their POREfessional primer.
Both have silicon in their ingredient list and is colourless. (Using the travel size primer from the "How To Look The Best At Everything" kit.)
Let's zoom into the details of both products:
- Packaging: The Stay Flawless Primer comes in a stick form while the POREfessional primer comes in a "Gel" like consistency. If you are someone who is very particular about the hygiene of your make up product, do that note of the Stay Flawless primer's packaging.
- Consistency: The finish of both primers are different. The Stay Flawless primer has a matt finish, almost to the point where it is kind of difficult to blend out while the POREfessional primer has a smooth and silky texture.
- Lasting Power: When it comes to the Benefit's primers, it doesn't seems to make my foundation last any longer that 3 hours. Anytime after that, I will have to blot and touch up my make up.
Will I re-purchase both primers?
I would say most probably if I have the extra money. They are both quite a decent primer and would work great on people with normal to combination skin. Especially living in Singapore where the weather are mostly sunny, you won't want your make up to slip and slide.
That's it for today. Till next time~
