Hey hey

As you guys know, I am doing a series of Drugstore Primers and Setting Sprays Reviews! Check out which primers I picked here and the setting sprays I will be putting to the test here! To kick things off, today I will be reviewing the MUA Pro Base Moisturising Primer. I have been using this for a week and I am ready to bring my thoughts. Let’s begin!

The MUA Pro Base Moisturising Primer has added Vitamins A & E and tea tree oil. It promises to leave a velvet smooth base for even makeup application and feel light and moisturising.

Experience

It feels very light, almost like a lotion. I also like the added tea tree as it helps with breakouts. I didn’t experience any breakouts with the primer. In terms of moisturising, I didn’t feel as though it added any more moisture to my skin. I use the primer as the last step in skincare before makeup and using this didn’t make any difference. With the velvet smooth base it’s supposed to give, I wish it gave more. This primer isn’t silicone based although it has Dimethicone as one of the ingredients (4^th) so you don’t really get the same feel and smoothness silicones give.

Verdict

I know it’s only £4 but I wanted a little bit more from this product. I wish it was more moisturising and more velvety. If you have dry skin, I won’t recommend you skip your normal moisturising cream for this. I noticed its best applied with your fingers and allowed to dry a bit before going in with your makeup.

MUA Pro Base Primer is available in two finishes: Moisturising and Mattifying. I hear the Mattifying one is quite good.

MUA Pro Base Moisturising Primer is £4 available in Superdrug or the MUA website.
