I finally bought it - the
BECCA Backlight Priming Filter
Primer.
Do I love it?
At first I did!
And I still do really like it.
I love that it makes my face look
extremely luminous.
 |
As you can see here - So luminous! |
I love the smell.
I love that it feels moisturizing.
I love that there is a lottttt of it, and one pump goes
a long way.
The thing I don't love about it is that it doesn't seem
to keep my blush and bronzer on while at work for 8 hours like
the Smashbox primer did.
Or did it?
Now that I think about it, I can't remember if my
bronzer and blush stayed on throughout the full work
day a week ago (before I bought the BECCA primer).
Am I being overly picky?
I MUST PUT IT TO THE TEST.
Channeling my inner science class 5th grader:
I devise up a question, hypothesis, a list of products used, a detailed summary
of the experiement, and the results.
Question:
Does the Smashbox Primer help hold the makeup on my face longer than
the BECCA Primer?
Hypothesis:
After putting Primer 1 on the right side of my face, and Primer 2 on the left side
of my face, I will work a full day. I believe the bronzer and blush will stay
better on the side of my face that Primer 2 was used on.
Products used:
BECCA Primer: Primer 1
Smashbox Primer: Primer 2
Bronzer
Blush
Experiment
Yes... The video quality is shitty but
to upload it to blogger without uploading it
to Youtube first - it had to be a much smaller
file. Quality was the sacrifice I had to make.
BUT - primer goes on somewhat clear,
so you aren't missing much.
Conclusion
After 8 hours of wear, I found
that the Makeup on the left side of my face
(Primer 2: SMASHBOX) seemed to stay on better.
They both seemed to be about the same with
oil control.

End of the day pics with Daisy! |
She often tries to steal the show.
JUST LIKE MAMMA TAUGHT HER!

You can tell more in this pic that the makeup on the left side is slightly more
intact. |
