Holy Grail, Batman! Philosophy The Present Makeup Primer Review

A “holy grail” product, in makeup lingo, is a product you just can’t live without. I have a number of “holy grail” products, but none that I’ve loved more or used longer than Philosophy’s The Present. This primer evens out the surface of my skin, creating a significantly smoother texture which helps me to achieve that airbrushed look every beauty guru is after. This product doubles as a light moisturizer for sensitive skin; I use this product even on no-makeup days as my daytime moisturizer.

The Present is calming, not aggravating on my acne prone skin. It has a light herbal scent, like a calming cup of chamomile tea. I find the $29 price tag to be reasonable, I use no more than a pea-sized dallop of this a day and one tube lasts me about five or six months. To let this product reach it’s full skin-smoothing potential you have to let it dry completely on your face before applying any makeup. This only takes about 5 minutes, I like to apply this product first than do my eye makeup or style my hair while I wait for it to set. After five minutes this products is good to go and I'm ready to enjoy my calmed, moisturized, even textured skin!!

I hope you enjoyed this review, The Present is truly one of my very favorite products!
