We've all learnt the value of face primers in recent years- they help foundation adhere to the skin, add a luminosity to the complexion and give you an overall inner glow which I find very pleasing.
I was curious about MeMeMe's offering of the Seventh Heaven Primer as they're a beauty brand, not a skincare brand, so would they live up to the hype?
The primer, a.k.a the MeMeMe Moisturising facebase comes in small pot, and is applied by fingers and blended in. The texture is lightly creamy with a little weight to it and feels nice to the fingers. It's enriched with Shea Butter and Vitamin A and slides in easily, sitting well on the face and feeling nice and creamy without being too oily. It has a faint scent of lemon and orange, but this is very innocuous and doesn't overpower at all, just leaves a light trace on the skin, as if you've passed through a fine fruit mist.
The primer gives the skin a lovely glow, and really drew attention to my cheekbones, as the light really seemed to be drawn there and this works well as a skin highlighter as well as a base. I also used this with foundation and it did seem to make the product last longer as I didn't need to top up my base before a night out and I felt it added an extra dimensional quality to my trusty Clinique foundation.
Overall, I think this is a great product if you're looking to prime your skin, and the extra glow is produces means you can go sans foundation if you're brave enough.
