REVIEW: MakeupForever ALL MAT Primer

Dropped by MakeupForever a few days back. Been meaning to get my hands on the ‘All Mat primer’ but simply havent had the time to! One of my girlfriends had bought the All Mat late last year and has been raving about it NON STOP! I also saw some great reviews on several websites!

Both with the oil breakthrough and with the long-wear of my foundation. I usually have to use those oil-blotting sheets a few times throughout the day because of shine. Since using this primer, the oil sheets haven’t left my purse. My foundaiton also looks freshly applied throughout the day. This stuff really delivers. Overall, I’m VERY IMPRESSED

Sometimes I like it to use it alone, instead of my day cream (when I’m not wearing foundation) only because it gives my complexion a healthy look, it softness the skin instantly and mattifyes it without a hint of shine. My foundation last longer on my face without fading and even after a couple of hours my complexion is still matt and has a fresh look.

But of course, every skin is different and has its own needs, and what may work for some, may not necessarily work for others! I’ve tried it on myself as well as several of my clients.

Product info:
What it is:
An oil-free foundation primer designed to remove shine with long lasting results.

What it is formulated to do:
Mattifying powders absorb the excess of sebum and prepare the skin to help makeup stay. The silicone gel base, with it’s cotton-soft texture, leaves the skin matte and velvety.

What else you need to know:
Recommended for normal to oily skin. Non-greasy and oil-free.

 
My Thoughts: I love it because makeup DOES stay on longer. I normally touch up my concealer by 5pm, when work is ending, but with All Mat, I noticed how I didnt need to touch up. I just added powder to brighten my face. (When you work in an aircon room for 8 hours straight, it doesnt always do your skin good) I DONT have oily skin, but my nose tends to get slightly shiny , but when I apply AllMat, my nose doesnt look AS SHINY. Meanign to say, when I FIRST apply it, of course the skin looks matte but by mid day, it isnt a matte. but it also isnt as shiny. I have only tried it for 3 days so far, and SO FAR I like the results. Will continue to use it and note any obvious differences.

Will I buy it again? Most definitely!

 

 

EDIT:
I used the base on some of my clients from PanPacific few ngiths back for their D&D and one of them commented on my Facebook Page :
