Shiseido

<p>Prime skin and erase imperfections for a beautiful, natural finish.</p>


This primer didn’t do much for me. It has a little pearly shimmer. Over time it became more liquid texture than like a gel or paste texture.

Shiseido Refining Makeup Primer

The Shiseido Refining Makeup Primer is by far my favourite makeup primer, ever! I have tried every primer out there in the market and honestly nothing beats this primer. Most primers aren't hydrating enough for me as I have very dry skin so, I was looking for a very hydrating primer that would even out my pores.

I was shopping in England and I received the Shiseido Primer as a sample and to be honest, I had no idea that Shiseido even made makeup products, as I thought it was a skincare line. i fell in love with it the moment I put it on. This cream/beige coloured lotion goes on sheer but sometimes has a whitish hue to it and absorbs well into the skin, and creates a soft, matte finish. It has a tacky texture to it which is perfect for primers as it holds the makeup to your skin. The primer has no smell to it which is a huge plus point for me, as I am very sensitive to smells, and you only need a small amount of product to cover your entire face (a little goes a long way)!

The Shiseido primer hides my pores and it keeps skin smooth and shine-free pretty much all day long. My makeup stays on all day without smudging (try adding a mist to it to really set your makeup!). Also, it's very hydrating for my skin and doesn't leave any dry patches like some other primer's have. A good makeup primer should last during any extreme weather and this product delivers! During the cold in Canada, it still makes my skin look even and healthy and I can say the same for extreme heat as well (during my vacation, I was in the Desert and my makeup did not budge once!).

The only downside to this products is that the version we get in Canada doesn't have SPF in it, which is a must! I cannot understand why more makeup products for foundation and primers don't have SPF already built into it. So, if you want the SPF version then you will have to buy this is the US or Europe......Shiseido please bring this to Canada!

Could this be used in place of a sunscreen?
