Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer Review

By Khushbu Kumawat

Hi Everyone,

I would like to thank you all and IMBB again for accepting me and encouraging me 🙂 Today, it is about Nivea primer, but before proceeding, I want to tell something about my skin; it is dry and sometimes sensitive. It was not as sensitive earlier until a local parlour gave me a wrong facial. Unfortunately, it was my first and last facial and then 3 years of treatment. Finally, the doctor advised me not to use much makeup because nothing can beat natural beauty and that I did not need it! Thanks to the doctor who gave me such a compliment, but you know, it takes makeup to look natural 😛  Now, I try out any product which is formulated for sensitive skin.

Packaging:

It comes in two variants – one for dry/sensitive and second for normal/combination skin. The pot is really attractive with pink and blue cap respectively, but the tub is very big, you do get 50 ml for £4.99

Price:

£4.99 (Rs. 500 approximately).

Product Description:

Enriched with natural Almond oil and Calendula Extract.  Provides an even and smooth base for effective make-up application and helps your make-up stay put, absorbs instantly thanks to its light texture.

My Take on Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer:

I had a very good experience with Nivea as I am using their face wash, cream, hand cream and lip balm, so I purchased this without much thinking. The primer is silky smooth and has gel-like consistency, sinks in very quickly. It feels very light on the skin. I quite like the smell.  I find it does its job with making foundation base easier to apply and helps the makeup stay put.  It did moisturize my skin for a long time and gave a nice glow, but at the same time, it didn’t clear the redness of my cheeks.

It’s just like a regular moisturiser with that extra added benefit of providing a smooth base for makeup. I can’t tell you how long the make-up stays after applying it as my Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation stays for a longer time without the primer too and I was not expecting it to do that because my skin tends to look dry towards the end of the day, rather than my makeup sliding off, so extra boost of moisture really helped me.  I do not have wrinkles but don’t think it will create a base that would smooth out wrinkles and mature lines of face; you need high-end primer for that.

Here I have applied it on my hand without moisturizer.
