The Laura Geller Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer is on sale at Amazon for £16.15 (down from £19), and beauty fans with mature skin are praising its hydrating, brightening, and smoothing effects.
Primer and moisturiser in one
The product acts as both a moisturiser and primer, suitable for dry and normal skin. It contains hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and antioxidant botanical ingredients, and is free from synthetic fragrances and parabens, making it sensitive-skin friendly.
The formula is lightweight and non-greasy, yet grippy enough for makeup to cling to. It hydrates the skin to help foundation go on smoother and last longer, and can also be worn alone for a smoother complexion.
How to use and alternatives
Apply one to two pumps onto the back of the hand, dab onto clean skin, blend, and leave for a minute or two before applying makeup.
Other options include No7's Pro Artist Base Perfecting Primer at £19.95 from Boots, and Clinique's £18 Even Better Light Reflecting Primer, which extends makeup wear by up to 16 hours.
Beauty fan reviews
One reviewer said: “Good value at the moment. Goes on smoothly on mature skin (I’m 66) and makes my makeup stay on longer. I discovered Laura Geller makeup last year and wouldn’t use anything else now.”
Another commented: “Absolutely love this product it’s lovely and smooth and unlike some it doesn’t sit on the surface of your skin or take a lot of rubbing in and you only need a small amount so lasts well too this is my second purchase I was so impressed and great for mature skin.”
One user, however, was disappointed: “A bit disappointed with this product after reading such good reviews gone back to my revlon primer. Everyone is different and this does not suit my skin.” Some also reported receiving a broken pump.
Another fan said: “I absolutely love this primer!!! I am 48 yrs old and I’ve been struggling in finding a good primer that suits my mature skin. This is the holy grail!! My makeup look flawless and smooth and most importantly my face looks hydrated. The tube is a good size for the price I am definitely throwing out all the other brands. This is a keeper! Buy it, don’t hesitate!!!”
