17 Stay Time Long Wear Primer


I was bought this primer from 17 by my friend a while ago, and even after 2 or 3 weeks, I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It comes in a tube and is £5.49 for 20ml. The texture is a little thicker than your average liquid foundation, however the texture feels tacky and glue-like once applied to the skin. The scent also smells like a mix between glue and coconut. The primer is best for people with normal to combination skin. If you have dry skin, the tackiness and glue-like texture just sticks to the dry patches and the formula does dry out the skin quite a lot. I wouldn't recommend this product if you have oily skin either, because it has no oil control properties in it and may sit on top of the skin, or move to the oilier parts of the face, for example the T-Zone. This primer does make your makeup last for longer but it does not ensure 16 hour wear like the range of products says. In this range, 17 have also come out with a powder, foundation and concealer from the 'Stay Time Long Wear' range. I have tried the powder and it works very well with the primer.With this primer, I would apply it with my fingers, as I find that way has the best finish, and use a liquid foundation. It does not work so well with a powder or mousse foundation as the primer may cause the foundation move and not last as long.
