After months of reading and acquiring of knowledge on improving my makeup I was faced with the decision of buying myself a primer. Out I headed to Clicks and bought the Nyx photo-loving primer due to my love and trust of the brand. The primer on its own feels gel like but with slight texture to it, I did not like the feel of it on my skin, if it's to completely seal your face that you are looking for, than yes this is the product for you. I paired this primer with my Revlon liquid foundation and then with my smash box liquid halo foundation, it did not go well with either of them, the primer caused the liquid to not adhere properly to my skin and kept shifting. The whole day I was not secure due to the now non stick face. I still keep the primer and use it just for when I'm doing photo shoots, and applying crazy makeup so as to protect my skin.

Price: R250(something) which I think is pretty fair
Availability: Almost always in stock
Effectiveness: I do not recommend it for daily use, I would however recommend it for photo shoots.

Ladies it is advised not to use any primer daily as this is bad for the skin (prolonged regular use) and also if using a silicone based foundation, the best primer would be a silicone based primer (you can not mix oil with water they say)
