Covergirl Outlast All-Day Primer Review

Hello all,

When I ran out of my trusted Revlon Photoready Primer, I decided to try out a primer which I had never used before. A quick search on the net, and I zeroed in on the recently launched Covergirl Outlast All-day primer. Read on to find out how this primer fared on me.

How To Use:
Apply a dime-sized amount to face before applying makeup to keep your foundation looking fresh and flawless all day.

My Experience with Covergirl Outlast All-Day Primer:

Packaging: This primer comes in a flat sleek white and red plastic tube packaging. At first glance, the tube seems really small and pricey for around 10 dollars. But a price comparison with other drugstore brands reveals that primers are mostly in the range of around 10 dollars for 1 fl oz.  The tube comes with a screw on cap which closes tightly. It has a fairly small nozzle for dispensing the product which is good because you can control how much product you squeeze out of the tube.

Consistency/Finish/Coverage:  The texture of the primer is actually quite perplexing. As you squeeze it out of the tube, you feel that it has a light gel-like consistency, but it starts to feel creamier as you blend it onto your face. It spreads easily and finally settles down to a satiny finish. I am more used to matte finish primers and hence not totally impressed. But those of you who like satiny dewy finishes will like it.

Also, it works just fine on dry or slightly oily skin type. But, it will do no favor to beauties with really oily skin. The primer blends and evens out very easily and gives a nice smooth appearance to the face and a good canvas for your foundation to cling onto. It does hide the appearance of large pores. Using a primer in general extends the wear of your foundation and this primer delivers on that count.

But if you are planning to wear the primer on its own, I would need to warn you that it does not provide any kind of coverage. It does just what a primer is supposed to do – prep skin for foundation.

I haven’t experienced any clogged pores or breakouts after using this primer.

Overall, I would say that this is a decent primer which indeed smooths out the skin, but it is avoidable if you have super oily skin.

  1. Lovely primer! I like primers that are colorless, so there is no hassle of shade matching. And, since I do not have oily skin, it deserves a place to be in my wish list.
