Beauty Tried And Tested: The Best Budge-Proof Primers
Need a primer that will keep your make up from giving you the slip? LOOK is here to help... today our very own Beauty Editor Sophie Beresiner and LOOK reader Lindsay Ricks have put four budge-proof primers to the test...
Beauty Editor: Smoothes into skin easily to create an even base for foundation. It absorbs any excess oil too, so no need to worry about the dreaded shine factor.
Lindsay: This felt really creamy on my skin and instantly made it look matte. I really liked the overall effect and my make-up definitely lasted longer. I would use this primer again on a daily basis. Beauty Score: 5/5
Beauty Editor: This may look a little yellow in the tube but it sinks into skin seamlessly and brightens up complexions so you won't have to wear half as much base.
Lindsay: I liked the consistency of this and it toned down any redness in my complexion. It made my skin look smoother and my make-up appear fresher for hours after I’d applied it. Beauty Score: 4/5
Beauty Editor: Covers up any little skin imperfections and refines pores without looking cakey. Effective enough to wear as your base if you're having a good skin day. Lindsay: Initially I was worried this might make me look pale as it’s quite a light colour but it blended in well and made my skin tone look much more even. It gave me that just applied, dewy skin that I'm always after. Beauty Score: 4/5
Beauty Editor: The peachy colour and silky consistency make this really easy to apply. Blends in so well you can hardly see it, so great for clear skin, not so effective on redness. Lindsay: This delivered exactly what it promised. My skin looked more luminous and radiant immediately. The product casing made it tricky to judge how much to put on though, so it took a while to get used to. Beauty Score: 3/5
