I try and test every product
Anyone who's a VB fan will remember how the primer in her Estee Lauder collab back in 2016 basically broke the internet, so I was excited to see if this alternative lived up to the OG.
It's had a skincare upgrade – courtesy of one Augustinus Bader – and contains a cocktail of amino acids and vitamins, aiming to replenish skin. Because of all this, it's pretty pricey for a primer, but it's so hydrating even I, someone with chronically dry cheeks, could get away with using this as my moisturiser.
It left my skin feeling silky and soft, without leaving behind a greasy finish, and did work as a great base for makeup. It even gave my skin a slightly blurring effect – always a bonus.
I personally wouldn't spend this much on a primer (or moisturiser), but if you're willing to splurge this won't disappoint. Plus, an Augustinus Bader The Cream will see you back £225, so this is the cheaper option (believe it or not).
