Cover FX do many things well and one of my favourite things is
their range of primers.
I’ve maintained for as long as I can remember that it’s a crime
not to prime.
Using the right primer for your skin helps to create an excellent
base for our makeup, allowing it to work better with your skin, allowing your
makeup to last longer and ultimately, leaving you looking more radiant for longer.
Cover FX have recently not only expanded its selection of
primers but revamped the line with fresh, sleek new packaging.
The new collection includes their cult-favorite Mattifying
and Blurring formulas with a couple of new additions in the form of one called
Water Cloud, one named Gripping and another Dewy Skin.
They have literally created a range of primer for every skin
type and need possible which is great because different people require
different elements and ingredients from their primers.
One thing they do have in common however is that all of the
formulas are clinically tested, vegan, cruelty-free and free of Parabens,
Gluten, Mineral Oil, Fragrance, Talc, Alkyl Sulfates and Phthalates.
I opted to try the new Gripping Primer on account of its
ability to provide next level grip for makeup, firming and its anti-ageing
properties.
Despite being designed for normal to dry skin I decided to
give it a go and I was thoroughly impressed.
Cover FX’s Gripping Primer features a jelly like texture and contains a host of
vitamins, minerals and amino acids from algae extracts which work to firm up
your skin, target fine lines and prevent sagging for an even complexion while an
ocean derived complex gets to work on fine lines and improves skin clarity.
Lightweight in texture the jelly becomes more like a serum
when dispensed and distributed ono your skin, disappearing almost instantly.
It visibly creates a dewy, glass-like effect on the skin to
boost radiance and creates an immediately brighter complexion.
Fragrance and colour free it disappears into your skin
leaving it as a silky smooth canvas for your make up, but unlike many other
primers this one really does grip onto your makeup.
That foundation really aint budging when applied and I found
that I barely required any top up’s or powder checks throughout the day.
It’s an impressive piece of equipment and has left me dying
to try the rest of the range to see what they have to offer!
Cover FX’s range of primers including the Gripper Primer are
available now from Feelunique and costs £30.
