Today I am reviewing Benefit's Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer. I purchased this primer about a week ago from Sephora after hearing a couple of Beauty gurus rave about how it was amazing. Unfortunately people's opinions and preferences are different.After using this product for a week I can honestly say that it's not my cup of tea.
The above picture is the Benefit Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer.The packaging is super cute with polka dots on the lid and convenient to just stick in your makeup bag. The packaging sort of resembles that of a lip balm. The cost of this primer is $32 which is way too much for the quality of it.
The primer itself is colored but it does seem to match to the skin. Applying this primer feels like you are applying a very thick lip balm to your face. It's not a very pleasant feeling.The product claims that it helps foundation apply smoother but I had to literally scrub the BB Cream on my face because the primer was so thick and drying.I have combo skin type and this doesn't really work it highlighted the flaky parts on my face and my T-zone was still oily, I blotted my face quite a couple of times throughout the day. I use a damp beauty blender and without this primer my BB Cream applies flawlessly but the beauty blender kept on getting stuck. After applying the BB Cream evenly on my face and neck I still felt the stickiness even through out the day when I touched my face it was sticky. I always apply a translucent setting powder after my BB Cream to set it and I applied twice as much powder to get rid of the stickiness. My BB Cream looked cakey on my face even though it is a pretty light formula (Missha M Perfect BB).
I do have to admit that my makeup did last but after 15 hours it did not look flawless but you would expect hat for wearing makeup for that amount of time. Overall I really dislike this product which is a shame because a lot of people hyped it up to be something it wasn't. Glad Sephora has a really good return policy because I will be returning this product -.-
Pros:
Makeup last through out the day
Cons:
Sticky
Hard to apply foundation over
Bad quality for price
I give this product 1/10 stars
I would not recommend this product to anyone
Note: This is my personally experience and opinion. This product might work for you we are all different.
Well although this product was not my cup of tea I do want to try more makeup products. If you guys have any suggestions on things you would like me to review or products you like please leave a comment.
Bye!
Pity it wasn't that good :( thanks for your advice! Nice blog!
