I’ve spent most of the past couple years looking for a primer that does everything I want as a makeup base. And I’ll be honest, I’ve had a hard time finding one that does everything I want and often found myself mixing primers to get my desired base. Then I came across this product…and this has truly been a game changer for me.
Laneige
Now if you’ve followed me on Instagram, you already know how much I love this brand. The first ever product I bought from this brand was their water sleeping mask and that was purely because I saw a YouTuber rave about it. It was literally the best sleeping mask I have ever used. However, this brand now has become ever so popular, thanks to Tiktok, because of their lip sleeping mask (a highly recommended product from me, especially the vanilla scent).
Last year, when we were alllll in quarantine lockdown, I got bored and started searching through Laneige’s other products. I bought this product on a whim. I didn’t read anything other than its claims, which is usually not something I do. I like to read other reviews but I guess it looked so promising that I didn’t even bother. I was hopeful because it makes logical sense to me that a skincare company would make a face primer that does wonders for the skin while making your makeup look flawless….right?

Verdict
All I have to say is look at how the fine lines on my hand essentially disappeared after putting this primer on it. It’s smooth, it’s glowy and it’s super lightweight. What I really love about this product is the fact that it’s a hybrid product: a serum that essentially is a skincare product and a makeup primer that keeps your makeup in place. And trust me, your makeup does not budge with this product on. Another thing I absolutely adore about this face primer/serum is the fact that it smooths my skin’s texture completely. It allows for my foundation to literally glide and blend effortlessly…which is exactly what I want from a face primer. It also feels super moisturizing without leaving an oily feeling. And did I mention it gives you such a radiant and natural glow? I have combination oily skin so I don’t always like a glowy look because well it looks a little oily for me. However, this product does not look like that. It’s so natural and almost every time I’ve worn it on its own, I’ve gotten complimented on my skin! This is literally one of the best things I’ve ever put on my face! In terms of price point, it is a little expensive but think of it as an investment for your skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and this did not break me out or cause any irritations. I’ve also used this with various different foundations and they’ve all looked flawless once applied! The texture of the product is literally like a serum, super gel like and it absorbs onto the skin quickly. It does not leave a residue, which is fantastic. Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this! This one product does everything I want and I love that I don’t have to mix different primers to get a glowy, blurred and flawless look!
