So I decided today to do a review on something that I picked up recently. I was wandering through Walmart and found a display of Hard Candy. Well I had never heard of the old Hard Candy brand but the packaging of this stuff was amazing and caught my eye! Its got a mix of rockstar/punk/girly/vintage feel to it. After looking at the dizzying amount of colorful lipstick, gloss, and eyeshadow the face primer caught my eye.
I have had tons and tons of problems before with primers. I'm dumb enough to go buy cheapy brands (like $2 or $3) which just make your face seem greasy and I could swear I felt pimples beginning to form when I put them on! So with much fear and trembling I tried Hard Candy.
I am so glad that I did because I love it! It doesn't seem to make my makeup stay on any longer but it does make it look much more natural and less powdery looking (I use Bare Minerals) My foundation blends in much better and for $8 it works great!
One warning though: Be careful how much you put on. At first I tried to cover my entire face in a layer but I ended up taking 75% of it off simply because I had too much. If you put too much on it becomes an oil slick (at least on my oily skin)! It also seems to come out of the bottle/tube quite quickly so don't squeeze it too hard!
I am interesting in trying a high end silicone primer (Yes HC primer is a silicone base) simply because I have only tried drugstore versions. Any suggestions? I know Smashbox has one!
