Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer Review, Swatch

I don’t always use a primer but I am absolutely loving this one from Bourjois. It is the Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer. I have had it for absolutely ages but used it for the first time on Christmas Day and haven’t really been able to skip it since!

| Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer Review |
Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer has a very light gel-cream consistency that, as it goes on, feels ultra hydrating and cooling. I buff it on with my Real Techniques buffing brush so I am priming both my skin, and the brush for flawless foundation application.

If you look really closely you’ll see the the soft pink gel-cream has the tiniest hint of soft gold that subtly lights up the skin and boosts radiance whilst the serum formula hydrates without any greasiness.

It blends away to a sheer coverage and glowy finish. Perfect alone for great skin, or no makeup, days. Here it is under foundation (this is Armani Luminous Silk):

I love it. It keeps my skin hydrated and smooth throughout the day, feels completely indetectable and as well as the glow, it makes my foundation last much longer. For £10.99 (and currently on a 3 for 2 at Boots) you really cannot go wrong! There is also a matte version for oilier skins, but if you like your radiance and you skin is on the greasy side, I wouldn’t be afraid to give the luminous one a go, because it didn’t make my combination skin any oilier at all.

Love this foundation! love to try the Primer 🙂 berrie-blogs.blogspot.com xx
This product looks great, I’d probably need to try the matte version to suit my skin type. Also I never considered that applying a primer with my brush might be helping with the foundation application too!
Thank you x
I love this stuff. One of my favourite new products of 2013 🙂

what a cool concept for a product! I need a hydrating primer, my skin has decided it wants to be dry instead of oily *sigh*
