90% OF CHICKS DIG IT
For sure would get again
First thing I noticed was the thickness of the primer and the smell... it for sure if a all natural product. I actually like the thickness as after I out my foundation on, it feels like it sticks to the primer instead of being so smooth it could wipe off. I am curious to try more of this line!
Great for letting skin breathe!
I got this for free to try as a deluxe sample from Chick Advisor. At first, I was ready to write off this product after first putting it on... My pores still were large. However, when I took off my makeup at the end of the day, my skin felt so smooth. It also allowed my skin to breath under my foundation - I almost forgot I had makeup on!
I went to Shoppers and when I spoke with the beauty rep, she recommended putting this primer all over the face, then filling in with a heavier primer in areas that need more concealment. When I did this, I noticed my skin was still able to breathe! I also bought the eyebrow mascara and tinted BB Cream. This primer + a bit of my other primer in areas needed + the tinted BB Cream = that makeup/no makeup feeling I've been looking to find all these years!
I'm going to keep trying this out, as I want to see how this primer works with medium & full coverage matte foundations. Right now I'm leaning towards buying a full size once the sample runs out, just for the sole fact it lets my skin breathe so well & it does have a bit of a tacky feel to help keep foundation from moving.
Awesomeness
Firstly I love that this product is cruelty free as I love animals I found it left my skin very Smooth and silky and was a good base to put makeup on. The only thing is I wish the scent wasn't so strong. Otherwise I have no complains overall good product and choice. This is the best primer I've ever used. Thanks for choosing me to try this out.
Simply the best primer I have ever used
I have used various primers over the years, from inexpensive drugstore brands, to high end cosmetic companies. And then there is Nude By Nature.
Cruelty-free products are incredibly important to me. Knowing that this company is 100% cruelty-free and PETA certified was a huge plus. The real test though is how does it stand up to an eight-hour work day.
The primer is lightly scented and made my face feel so smooth. There's no heavy feeling to this.
I don't have any other Nude By Nature products, so I was using this with my current BB cream.
I'm used to having an oily sheen about an hour after having put on my mattifying, oil free BB cream. So imagine my surprise when a couple of hours later, my makeup looked like it had just been applied.
Eight hours later and it was still holding up!
So impressed am I with the primer, I have purchased a couple of lipsticks and the complexion essentials starter kit. I'm looking forward to adding a few more products to complete the look.
Good water-based primer
I don't own many water-based primers, so I was happy to receive a (very generous) sample of this.
I appreciate that this product is cruelty-free is free from certain chemicals, however, it does still contain quite a lot of added fragrance, which not only has no benefit to your skin, but can often be an irritant for sensitive folks like me.
The scent on this is quite strong, but luckily it dissipates fairly quickly. The consistency is lotion-like, and it does appear to make foundation glide on quite easily. I haven't noticed a difference with longevity, but I don't tend to have a problem in that respect.
I haven't used this enough to be able to tell whether or not it has caused my skin any irritation. Overall, I would say that this is good, not great.
Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer—Why *So Much* Scent?
I was sent the Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer by #ChickAdvisor to try & then review. It’s good that I #gotitfree , as had I purchased this out-of-pocket, I would have been quite disappointed. :(
The primer is white, but the colour disappears into your skin. The scent however—strangely citrus-ish—does *not* disappear. It’s strong on application & only fades very slightly on wearing.
I found that it left my skin very tacky feeling—not sticky, exactly, but my fingertips would catch & drag when I tried to stroke my cheek. Okay, thinking maybe I over-applied, I washed/dried my face then tried again with only a tiny bit. Same result, just in a smaller area as it didn’t spread well. I didn’t find that my makeup lasted any longer or looked any fresher, nor was it any worse than when using no primer.
Final thoughts: the Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer isn’t the product for me, YMMV.
Nice addition to my makeup routine
I was able to try the Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer. I'm so glad I did! I was currently doing my foundation routine without a primer, and now that I've used this I won't go back to doing it with out it. Its smooth, absorbed quickly and left my face feeling super soft! Love it.
Nude by nature perfecting primer smooth and silky
I received the sample to test it out. I don't like fragance but this one is not floral. It actually smells surprisingly pleasant: like some herbal leafy smell. Texture is very smooth that I felt it was like a moisturizer. It didn't dry out my skin. Though I'm not sure if oily skin will like this. It went on seemlessly on my skin and my skin didn't break out. I applied it before I put my makeup on and it looks like my makeup stayed put all day except for my nose (it could be due to me rubbing my nose).
Overall, I quite like the primer and I would use it again.
beautiful product
This is a beautiful product. It feels like a moisturizer. It goes on your skin smoothly and absorbs rapidly. I really do think that it made a difference with my makeup routine. My fondation goes on smoothly. At the end of the day my makeup still looked really nice.
Loving the NBN primer!
I love the NBN perfecting primer! It’s feels soft and locks in my moisturizer. No unnatural feeling at all (like the odd feeling of silicon based primers) this one feels just like healthy skin. It’s the perfect base for my other NBN products that I bought because I loved the primer so much! Once all is done, my makeup stays put all day and doesn’t look run-down at the end of the day. I love how it feels on my face!
