Shoppers Say Makeup Application Is "Seamless" With This Blurring Primer From a Tina Fey-Used Brand

A good primer can make all the difference in your makeup routine. It can make your skin look smoother, make your makeup last longer, or in the case of a very good primer, replace your complexion products altogether. Despite there being hundreds of primers on the market, pulling off that trifecta is incredibly rare. Dermalogica’s SkinPerfect Primer SPF30 is one such unicorn product. 

Efficient, multi-tasking, and shopper-loved products are synonymous with the Tina Fey-used and Oprah-approved brand. Dermalogica is a little bit on the pricey side, but as someone who has felt the skin-changing effects of its products, I firmly believe the price reflects the quality. And 900-plus five-star reviewers indicate that is also the case with the dullness-obliterating and wrinkle-disguising SkinPerfect Primer.

According to the brand, the SkinPerfect Primer targets four major concerns — texture, wrinkles, elasticity, and vibrancy. The result is (theoretically) elongated makeup wear, plumper and smoother skin with less visible fine lines, and a dose of sun protection, courtesy of a 24 percent concentration of zinc oxide. There are skincare benefits too courtesy of hyaluronic acid and glycerin. The duo replenishes your skin with moisture throughout the day while improving firmness. 

You don’t just have to take the brand’s word for its effectiveness, shoppers also give it rave reviews. One shopper said SkinPerfect Primer makes their makeup application “seamless.” “[It] blurs fine lines and blemishes beautifully,” they added. Another reviewer said that it “leaves skin with a nice glow and evens out minor imperfections” so well that they “[do] not even use makeup anymore.” Finally, one shopper says it even covers “large pores.”
