Colorbar Perfect Match Primer Review


 I had heard so much about primers but never really used one .My makeup routine was cleanse ,tone, moisturise and apply a foundation .But last time when I was searching for a foundation , the SA asked me to use a primer underneath the  foundation to get better application and a more uniform (read non patchy) look .



                                                      


Since Colorbar is one my favourite brands , I got this primer from Colorbar and here is my review of this product .

                                                                             

Price - INR 825/- for 30 ml 

                                                    
                                            
                                                PROS of Colorbar Perfect Match Primer

                                             

  1. The perfect match name is true but at the same time a misnomer because it is a transparent gel like liquid.So this one will suit all complexions .
  2. Spreads easily ,it is better to moisturise the skin first before applying for a dewy finish .
  3. Creates a matte finish  to which the foundation clings well and lasts longer .
  4. Creates an even toned look ,pits and scars are less obvious .
  5. Gives a smooth look and finish , helps in reducing the visibility of fine lines and pores .
  6. Is moisturising and does not make the skin dry .
  7. Little goes a long way .

                                          


                                           CONS of Colorbar Perfect Match Primer
  1. A little on the steep side price wise ,but compared to other brands ,this one is quite reasonably priced .
  2. It is just a makeup base and has no other major benefits (no coverage or sun protection etc. ).

The colorbar primer has a thick consistency and is transparent
                                                     
After the primer, the foundation blends and stays better like second skin
                                                   

                                        

 FINAL VERDICT -  A primer is definitely a product worth putting your money in .It improves the overall appearance of the skin for makeup.The makeup lasts much longer and blends better after a primer .
I rate it a 4/5 .

    Hey I use this primer and quite like it. It makes the face a little more matte and the make up stays really long.

    A boon in hot days when the skin gets all oily and it helps cover the visible pores on my cheeks .

GROVER RESERVE ART COLLECTION CHENIN BLANC White Wine

I recently got  to drink this Chenin Blanc White Wine from the Grover Reserve Collection 2017 vintage and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

Chenin Blanc is a versatile white-wine grape variety that has been cultivated in France for nearly 1300 years and recently being cultivated by Grover Zampa Vineyards in Southern India .

This wine is from the Grover Art Collection range and bears the artwork of famous Bengali Artist Sanjay Bhattacharjee who is well known for his use of vivid colours to convey depth and perspective just like the wine the bottle holds ! So that is another fact that can make this a collector's item or great for gifting.

Wine Tasting Notes Name - Chenin Blanc  Vintage - 2017 Price  -   Rs 720 for 750 ml  Alcohol - 13.5%  v/v Colour - Pale straw

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation NC 40

Image
I have not been much of a make up person especially when it comes to foundations,but I am not blessed with flawless skin so it becomes a necessity when going for events and functions.I was quite satisfied with using the usual  Lakme or Maybelline Fit me range which seemed to cater to my skin tone but after a spate of acne,I felt the need for a foundation that gives better coverage and also suited my sensitive acne prone skin.
So I decided to try the much hyped MAC studio Fix Fluid foundation.
Here is my review of this product :

Price -Rs 2700 /30 ml ( Yes it is expensive !)

Presentation - In a sturdy transparent plastic bottle with a black twist on black rubber cap.No pump is given , you can purchase a separate pump, which only makes it pricier , so better to use a brush.


This foundation comes in , NC (neutral cool to cancel out the warm undertones ) and NW (Neutral Warm to add warmth to Cool undertones).

The Sales Assistant ,matched my complexion with the shade NC 40. He was also pret…
