Max Factor Facefinity All Day Primer

There's no hiding it I am a primer girl. I know a lot of people that don't use primers and I just can't get my head around this. I think they make such a difference to the look, feel and durability to your makeup that you really can't afford to not use one. 

I bought this Max Factor Face Finity Primer when in boots one day as for work I tend to use more primers that will increase the life of my makeup rather than the illuminating ones. I was very pleasantly surprised upon first application that this primer wasn't as mattifying as I thought it was going to be. Mattifying primers don't tend to sit well with my skin so I was super glad when I discovered it wasn't at all but then this left me questioning well if it doesn't mattify the skin then how does it increase the longevity of your makeup. 

The primer itself is a smooth silky white liquid which blends ultra easy into the skin, one pump of the primer is enough to suffice for the whole face. The bottle has a pump dispenser which is very durable and does not clog or leak. The primer also contains SPF 20 which isn't a problem for the camera happy lot of you as long as your foundation doesn't contain it. I personally like that it contains an SPF as I more often than not use a moisturiser which doesn't contain it and my foundation is also SPF free so a primer that does have it is great in my opinion and doesn't show through on pictures unless you wear a foundation containing an SPF. 

I don't know what it is in this primer that holds makeup so well but it is pretty incredible. It holds my makeup in place all day and through into the night as well. Max Factor describe it as velcro for your face which it certainly is, I have been using this for around 2/3 weeks every day for work and my makeup has not budged one bit since wearing it.  

At £10.99 for 30ml I think this is great value for money considering you only need one pump for your whole face per day. I have been using this for around 2-3 weeks and still have around 3/4 of the bottle left. 

Have you tried this primer?

  2. This sounds lovely! I'm not using a primer at the moment but I really should - I definitely need something to hold my makeup in place. I'll definitely have to try this as it's so much more affordable than others too.
