Product Description
The Lumene CC Blur Primer is a true hybrid product : skin color correcting blur primer that creates a perfect base for makeup. Its natural nude color corrects the skin tone and gives it a radiant matte surface. It also helps to neutralize the appearance of skin imperfections, brings a glow to the face with reflecting pigments and helps the makeup last longer.
Benefits :
1) evens the skin tone = subdued nude shade
2) blur effect = silicones that smooth the skin's surface
3) brightens = light-reflecting pigments
4) minimizes the appearance of skin's imperfections
I received a sample of Lumene Color Correcting and Blurring Primer from my aunt's purchase of the Lumene serum as a souvenir for me, when she was touring Denmark. Prior to her trip, I have never hear of Lumene but a google search revealed it to be widely known as an affordable range of skincare, infused with Arctic ingredients.
Formulated without parabens, the primer is said to be a nude colour filling base to diminish imperfections for lasting soft-focus finish. Silicon-heavy, it glides on well on skin to provide that velvety smooth touch, however, it tends to "pill" slightly as I tried to blend it into skin. "Pill" refers to tiny globes of balls as shown below. It feels like the remnants after using an eraser.
The "pill" isn't obvious on skin but I can feel it on my fingertips and I didn't like that one bit. Some may say that a product "pills" easier on dehydrated skin but I didn't feel that my skin is flaking prior to using the primer so to each of its own. Perhaps you may not encounter this issue on your skin.
The nude colour literally disappears into skin and skin looks smoother and larger pores ( between sides of nose and cheeks ) are well-hidden. I did not apply any foundation but apply my loose powder directly after the primer and the final look is just natural. The finishing is matte, with a soft focus feel.
Oil control is normal, it didn't make my T-zone oily - in fact, there is no difference with or without wearing the primer in terms of oil control. The light-reflecting pigments are not visible and I didn't see any glow which I was expecting, from the product. Redness and blemishes are still apparent which is expected since there is no claim from the product that it can conceal those.
However, by end of the day, my make-up tends to slide off slightly, hence the primer didn't help my make-up to stay longer. Note that I didn't use any foundation but just loose powder, so in a way, this may be expected.
