How often do you skip using a foundation primer process on a daily basis because either: 1. You forgot, or, 2. You haven't found a great primer that gives you that great canvas of flawless skin to work with. Mary Kay has formulated a foundation primer in a tube that includes sun protection. As a professional makeup artist and makeup consumer, I was quite excited to try out this primer. Before you read my results and the benefits I found from this primer, here are the details:
About Mary Kay® Foundation Primer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15:
This lightweight gel glides on easily to fill in imperfections and dries quickly to a matte finish to create the perfect canvas for a flawless foundation application that enhances foundation benefits and extends wear.
- Oil free formula with SPF 15* is mineral-enriched to absorb oil and diffuse light to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores.
- For all skin types, including sensitive skin.
- Fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic.
- When worn alone, it still provides these skin-perfecting benefits: helps even out skin texture and improves skin's complexion.
My results:
The formula of Mary Kay Foundation Primer Sunscreen is lightweight and non-greasy. It felt like I had nothing on my skin.
A mattyifying primer works as a double duty product for my normal/combination skin. In the summer I need the mattifying benefits that keeps me from looking like a greaseball, and in the winter I simply need to keep my t-zone from shining. Score!
SPF 15 sun protection is an added benefit, as it's needed year round and I'm glad this primer has it a minimum SPF included.
The applicator is great ability to control how much product you get at one given time.
Plus the formula is fragrance free for those of us who sensitive to added fragrances.
