Philosophy The Present Primer

Philosophy The Present Primer

I have heard many different reviews about the Philosophy The Present Primer, many great ones but there was some confusion and arguments about the ingredients used within the product. 

Apparently because it contains lavender oil it could cause problems with the skin. Lavender oil is photosensitive so if you go out during the day with it on you may develop a rash. 

Knowing this infomation did make me a little weary of buying the product, however lots of reviews said it hardly ever happens, its just a reaction the ingredient has with some skin types. 

It is a white cream but does have a slight gel consistency to it. It feels so silky smooth when being applied. It’s creamy and has quite a thick texture. I use about a 5 pence piece worth of product, and that covers my entire face nicely. It feels so smooth but is quite sticky when first applied, however not for long.

The instructions say to wait about 2 minutes for the product to soak in. You can then apply your foundation over the top. For me it really helped my makeup last. It created a lovely smooth base for my makeup and minimized the appearance of my pores.
