When putting on foundation, having the problem of it being "patchy" can really get to us ladies. Sometimes, we find that our make-up goes very uneven, which causes us to apply more foundation, and finally we caked in make-up and we have wasted about £1 worth. When skin is dry, foundation can get caught in drier areas whilst gliding in softer areas. This is how we get the "patchy" look. The easiest solution to this is to moisturise the skin to ensure the make-up applies evenly not only to save you time, but to improve the appearance of your face after applying foundation.

The primer is basically a foundation base. It is a clear gel which is applied over the skin before applying foundation to improve the look of it after use. It comes in a pump which allows you to clearly see how much is left during use. It should last about a couple of months if used several times a week, so if it goes faster than this, you are using too much. If used once in a while when going out somewhere, it should last approximately a year if not more.

By using a pea-size amount, you can wipe the gel across the entire face, rolling the fingers in circles. This makes the skin slightly oily until you wipe the foundation over the skin. Instantly, you should feel the foundation glide across the skin. It should appear even on the skin, although coverage should be reduced. Then, you can reapply another layer to improve the coverage and appear even.

The gel should make the skin feel soft and plump. Sometimes it can become too greasy when too much has been applied, although I have not experienced any extra spots since using. The fact that this moisturises the skin allows you to use drier foundations such as dream matte mouse. As less foundation is used, it stops foundation from being caught in pores which reduces spots and blackheads from forming.

It is priced at £12. However, it also saves money as less foundation is wasted on the skin. Also, it can help eye shadow be applied more effectively. Also, it is very long lasting as only a little bit needs to be applied and it is a fairly good sized bottle. Gosh products are always of a high quality so you know it will always do a good job.

This is an essential part of my daily beauty routine and I couldn't live without it. I would recommend this to everyone, except those with oily skin types.
