Colorbar Perfect Match Primer ! Is it really Perfect?
I started my blog saying that I am on budget shopping these days, and here I am with another such drug store product, ” Colobar Perfect Match Primer.
Why we use Primers?
Use of Primer in makeup is same as use of Primer in painting 😀 (no laughs, that’s the plain truth). We all have blemishes like fine lines, uneven skin tone, pores and so so so so.
Primer preps your skin for the perfect foundation application by filling in fine lines and smoothing pores, and it also keeps your makeup looking fresh all day. Consider it the key to making your skin makeup-ready. Just imagine putting foundation without a primer and all your foundation sinking in your fine line after a few hours, that’s a big NO! No one apparently wants that, primer is the solution of this problem, in simple terms.
Product:
I bought mine from Amazon(for makeup I prefer to shop online and Amazon is my God 🙂 ).
Price :
Rs. 756/- Â for 30ml
Ingredients :
Cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone crosspolymer, tocopheryl acetate, isododecane, neopentyl glycol diheptanoate, propyl paraben
(This formula is similar to many primers available)
Appearance:
Handsome 😀
This colorless gel primer comes in a beautiful and sleek inverted bottle. The bottle is itself translucent with silver cap, the bottle is further packed in nice silver box, I kinda like the packing.
Gel, despite being thick is easy to spread, it is actually satiny in touch ( something like lakme mousse foundation).
Application Direction:
Dab on a little all over face for smooth surface or use
before foundation for
perfectcomplexion and lasting effect.
My Say:
I did as mentioned in Directions. Honestly I did find it to be Satiny and Oil free.
Since I sweat a lot, I applied a little on my oily T-zones to and all sweat was gone, and so were fine lines…woooofff…magic! Then I applied a little on my left hand and compared it with my bare right hand, difference was visible. My right hand looked old in front of left one. But for scars, freckles( I have on my hands) and acne, it doesn’t hide them completely, just tones them down, it also tones down redness of any kind.
I was also satisfied by the fact that just a little, like tiny miny little, is enough for the face. (I think my 30ml is going to last long).
P.S. I tried it liquid and powder foundation both, and for both results were same.
This colorless gel works wonder!
Pros:
- Satiny in touch
- Lasts Long ( and that is one the primary requirements for all makeup products)
- Thick consistency
- Easy to spread
- Evens uneven texture
- Tones down redness
- Hides fine lines
- Decreases oiliness without breaking (Blessing Blessing)
- Gives you a very smooth skin
- Can be used under heavy moisturizers and body lotions
Cons:Â
Wish it could even out freckles too :l
But if primer would do everything, then what would concealer do. 🙂

I am definitely buying a second bottle! You should try it too, won’t disappoint you.
Well, a perfect match for me. 🙂
I have a love/hate relationship with primer. I couldn’t find any shop bought ones that I really liked so I use the Nivea Post Shave balm but I’m not keen on the texture of it. I think this might be one worth trying out to see how it goes.

This is great to know about! I’m happy with my foundation, but it does tend to fade by the end of the day. And this primer is not expensive. I would be happy to give it a shot!
