Too Faced Primed and Peachy Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer

There is no doubting that the Too Faced Peaches and Cream collection is amazing and I did a brief overview of the collection here on my blog last week and if you are a fan of Too Faced, then you will love everything they have to offer.

In this rather humid weather, the product I've used quite a lot of is the Primed and Peachy Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer (£27). If I have to wear makeup then I want it to look just as good as it does when I am not a sweaty mess and in this weather, it is hard not to be. Described as being a cooling, mattifying primer which blurs, smooths and brightens the complexion. It states that it will control shine for up to 12 hours and will last on the skin for up to sixteen hours.  I am prone to having that afternoon shine and whilst I do have blotting papers in my desk drawer, anything I can do to minimise it is an absolute must do for me.

This primer uses what is referred to as being a comfort matte technology and its formula delivers a mattifying, soft-focused finish with light and comfortable feel. It does have a brightening peach tint to it which works on any skin tone and as you apply it to the skin, namely the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks for me, the peach shade because invisible once it has been properly blended.  What I really liked about the application is that whether you use your fingertips, a brush or even a beauty blender, it applies so well. It doesn't crease, it doesn't slide and it does make an exceptional base.

Infused with the scent of Peach and Sweet Fig Cream which smells just divine and are ingredients known for their hydrating and antioxidant-rich benefits and they also help to keep the skin moisturised, comfortable, and as the collection states 'beautifully matte'. Another huge plus point for this primer is that you can wear it alone or under your foundation and it is so lightweight and easy to wear that you forget it is there.  

Does it work as well as Too Faced claim that it will? Well I can't hand on heart say I ever wear makeup for longer than 12 hours, especially in this weather, but it did last for a good 7-8 hours and it did help to keep my shiny face less shiny, not perfectly oil-free, but much better than it might usually have been, again, in this weather my skin does act and behave much differently, so it is still something I need to put to the test.

The entire collection is available at Debenhams and you will find this primer priced at £27 right here.
