Guerlain L’or Makeup Base is one of the best primers that I
have used so far. It is quite pricy ($76
CND) for 30 ml and contains real 24k gold flakes. The product itself comes out
as a clear gel texture and 1 pump is all I need to prime my whole face. The
gold fakes blends out effortlessly while having anti-aging skincare benefits. I
really notice the difference on days I use this and on days I do not. It not
only adds radiance to the facial complexion but it also helps to moisturize
the skin and keep the makeup staying on longer. I usually use this lightly
scented primer along with my Guerlain foundations but have still gotten
positive results even when I combined it with foundations from other brands. I have been using this primer in the winter
season (its very dry and cold in where I live) and have noticed that I have had
less dry patches and cakey makeup clinging to them. I have also gotten less
acne with continued use, maybe due to the healing power of gold? However, this
primer did not do an adequate job of minimizing and making my pores look less
visible. At the 6~8 hour mark I did
notice my skin feeling a little oily with shine, but that can also be due to my
teenager skin so I cannot fully judge if it is due to this particular product. Overall,
the benefits outweigh the negative aspects of the product and I will definitely
repurchase for my winter skin primer.
Pros:
-light weight
-keeps makeup staying on longer
-adds radiance
-moisturizing
Cons
-the price
-does not have significant pore minimizing effect
-may get oily on the T-zone depending on the skin type you
have
Who may like it
-people who needs a moisturizing and anti-aging primer
-people who wants to prolong their wear of makeup
Score: 4/5
