It has been quite a while since I have tried something new from Dermalogica and I have to say it was the name that drew me into this one. I have been testing out Dermalogica HydraBlur Primer with rather pleasing results. Here are the details along with photos to demonstrate how it works.

So what I find appealing about this primer is that it’s not just about making your foundation look and last better but it actually has a proper skincare focus too.

It contains very subtle micro-encapulated pigment which bursts as you massage it on to the skin to give a very light coverage.

Dermalogica HydraBlur Primer Before & After

There’s a slight difference in lighting because there was a time lag in between the before and after shot, but I think it shows that pores are minimised and the skin has a more even tone.

With Makeup:

I am really liking this. I used my new YSL Touch Eclat foundation that I love and I found that I needed only half the normal amount to achieve a pretty flawless finish. My skin stayed comfortable, smooth and hydrated throughout the day too.
