Disclosure: I was sent a full-size sample of Lancome's NEW Priming Serum by Bold PR for review. All opinions in this blog post are 100% my own and honest. This post contains affiliate links. I get commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post.
PR Sample: A MUST in my makeup arsenal and makeup application process, is PRIMER! In my humble opinion, THE MORE A FACE PRIMER CAN DO (hydrate, blur, keep makeup in place) ... THE BETTER FOR YOU! So I was intrigued when offered to try Lancome's NEW Priming Serum (Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman). I must admit, I gave it the side eye at first. A SOLID PRIMER, that promises to SMOOTH, BLUR, HYDRATE (24hrs), PLUMP AND EXTEND MAKEUP WEAR TIME. Whew Lancome! That's a tall order to fill! Let me start off by letting you know, the key ingredients in this priming serum: 1. It's Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates, visibly smooths and gives a plump feel to skin. 2. It's Formulated with Niacinamide: helps to improve the look of uneven skin tone and texture. Now, let me share my experience! I know you're waiting on my thoughts. This primer is super-easy to scoop out (it's dreamy creamy). Use the spatula (supplied with the compact) to scoop out the primer. Place the primer on your fingertips to warm it up. Apply the primer to your face. THAT IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS FOLKS! YOU WILL SAY WOW! It provides such wonderful MOISTURE & HYDRATION to the skin! I couldn't believe it. NONE of my other favorite primers provide such moisture (plus all of these other benefits). I usually have to apply a moisturizer and then a primer. My skin felt really hydrated (and I have some really dry skin). If you look at my hand (in the picture below), I left one half bare and applied this primer to the other half. You can see how this primer moisturized and plumped the applied side. It will do the same for your face and instantly. I recently used this primer under my foundation in this makeup look. Doesn't my foundation look great? It made my foundation lay beautifully and it stayed in place. I'm enamored. This primer can be worn alone or with makeup. Because it is a solid, it's perfect for travel or when you're on the go. Will this priming serum give your skin a strong blur? No (if you want that, try Smashbox Photo Finish or Patrick Starr Secure The Blur). But this primer will blur enough to make a difference. Will it make your lines disappear (illusion)? No, but it will soften them. Overall, I'm really impressed! I also like the fact that this compact is refillable. HYDRATION is the key word to sum everything up! It provides hydration! If you're a fan of Lancome's Teint Idole Foundation, they have a NEW Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Foundation (Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus). I haven't tried it yet, but plan on picking it up. I bet it is dreamy when used in conjunction with this priming serum. When I get it, I will definitely let you know my thoughts. I tried the 24 Hr Long Wear Foundation and it was really nice. I'm sure the new one, will work even better for my dry skin.
