Face of Australia has been releasing some interesting products lately, but the one that really caught my eye was the Face of Australia HD High Definition Primer. I've been a big fan of Face of Australia primers ever since I started my affair with beauty, so I had high hopes for this baby!
The Face of Australia HD Primer contains silicone for that satin perfect finish. I have a love hate relationship with primers that contain silicone. On one hand, they make my skin flawless, which I love. On the other hand, I hate the way it feels before I've put makeup on. Plus it feels weird on my fingers when I apply it.
When I first used this primer, I didn't shake it to activate it. I didn't even read the instructions, because who knew you needed instructions for primer! Little did I know, this made a huge difference. Not shaking it resulted in a gooey mess that made my makeup look horrible.
Then... I shook it. And voila, magic happened. My skin looked amazing. My makeup lasted longer. There's really not too much more to say. This is a high end primer for a drugstore price; the only problem I have is that there doesn't seem to be enough in the tube! Please make a giant tube, Face of Australia!

Overall, I think I've found my new Holy Grail primer. I've tried a lot of primers in my time, and while I've fallen in love with many of them, this one has trumped them all! I will continue trying other primers, but for now I'm extremely content with this baby! To top it all off, the Face of Australia High Definition Primer will set you back a measly $13.95. Who can say no to that?
Have you tried the new Face of Australia HD Primer? If so, what are your thoughts?

Definitely keep an eye out for this one, I can tell lots of people are going to love it! xx
DeleteThe first time I tried this primer i was so grossed out by the feeling of it on my fingers and face - it felt like i was smearing chicken fat on my skin.
ReplyDeleteBut then, 12 hours later I realised that I hadn't needed to blot my face even once and my make up still looked flawless and matte. I don't think I will ever go for another primer. Totally agree this one is fantastic.
