My Experience with Make Up For Ever Hydrating Primer Step 1 Skin Equalizer :

Being highly impressed with The Make Up For Ever Step 1 skin equalizer in the Radiant pink version, I decided to pick another version which unlike the former is completely colorless.

Packaging:
This comes in sleek squeeze tube with a nozzle; Very convenient and easy to travel with.

Texture/ Consistency & Feel on skin:
The consistency is neither too thick nor runny. It has a gel like texture which feels very lightweight and spreads easily. It gets absorbed into the skin immediately and does not feel like it is sitting on top of it. It instantly smoothes and hydrates my skin and makes it ready for foundation application. It does not have a very “silicone-y” feel on the skin.

My skin usually leans towards normal – dry in summers and dry – very dry with dry flaky patches in winters. This primer does provide enough hydration and comfort to my skin and the moisturizing ability is good enough for my skin for the summer months. I assume during the winter months I will need to use another moisturizer underneath this to balance out my parched skin.

This primer smoothes over my dry patches and does not accentuate them. This primer has much more better pore filling (though it is not as good as “silicone” primers, hence those with problematic pores will still feel this is inefficient in that aspect) and smoothing ability than the “Radiant” version but due to this being colorless it lacks the ability to even out my skin or impart any sort of glow.

Foundation applied over this primer glides effortlessly and smoothly. My skin did not get oily or greasy by the end of the day with this primer on.

Fragrance:
This primer has a very light pleasant scent which does not linger for long.

Though I still prefer the radiant version of this primer over the Hydrating one just because the radiance primer gives my lack luster skin that much needed radiance, the hydrating version still comes in at a close second.

Overall. These Step 1 primers by MUFE are one of the best ones in the market with a wide variation addressed to every skin issue. They have a smoothing, mattifing, radiant, nourishing, redness correcting etc etc , you name it, in this line hence you are most defiantly going to find your perfect match. These primers can also be mixed and matched for those with combination skin.I highly recommend them.
