Hi Everyone!

Hope you had a lovely weekend! I had not bought a new primer in a Long time, and since summer is coming and everyyyone wants that dewy/radiant glow.. I thought why not. let’s try out a radiant primer. AND, when I found out Algenist was a doing a skincare hybrid primer that was also color correcting.. I mean what doesn’t sound appealing about that.

So this retails for $36 for a 1oz tube. It comes in a matte black packaging that is absolutely gorgeous! I mean ya know me.. I am all about that matte black look. Now, this claims that it is a color correcting primer with a radiant finish. I am really not sure if this actually corrected anything in terms of color correcting. The primer comes out white and it has these fine micro beads that adjust to your skin tone.

And, it doesn’t have an extremely dewy finish. Yes, it does make your face come to life– but this primer is nothing like the Cover FX illuminating primer or the Becca Backlight Filter.

But, I have to say that my makeup stayed on much longer. For my skin type it has more of a matte finish but my makeup just wore much better.

I think oilier skin types will have much better luck with this palette. In fact, a lot of the raving reviews on Sephora.com for this product haev all come from more oilier skin types! So, if you do tend to have more problems with makeup staying on, or your skin is oily but you want a radiant finish without it being a oil slick– this might be your go to primer! Go check it out and let me know what you think!
