Under makeup it sits well and you can quickly blend your foundation on top. It mainly just feels nice on the skin: like you just applied moisturizer. Any difference you can see is the redness in my face from rubbing in the product.
#COLOURPOP PRETTY FRESH CONCEALER SWATCHES SKIN#
It doesn’t have any evening out properties, nor does it really make my skin look any more glowy or radiant. What does the primer look like on the face?Īs far as primers go, this isn’t one that shows a huge difference in the before and after. Why? Because this products sinks in so quickly that if you only use one pump the product doesn’t get to your entire face. What I do find a bit of a meh fact about this is how much I need: I feel I need two pumps every time I use this. It also has a nice scent: it smells subtly of something zesty like citrus fruit but it is never overpowering. It feels a bit bouncy, like a jelly but it still has a liquid formula. The Colourpop Pretty Fresh primer has a very lovely texture. You do get 30 mls of product though which is the standard size for any primer. If you are a bit hard-handed or if you travel a lot and you are continuously throwing this into a makeup bag, then this product may not last very long. It looks very pretty but the plastic feels flimsy and while this has a pump it does feel like it might just break off at any moment. As with some other Colourpop products I have tried, I find the packaging to be a bit cheaply made.

I wanted to make a point of mentioning the packaging separately for this one. With makeup products infused with hyaluronic acid I have not had that same issue and I usually find them very pleasant on the skin.

In some skincare products I actually felt like it had a drying rather than a hydrating effect on my skin and that’s because hyaluronic acid can at times subtract moisture from the skin. Depending on the overall formulation, I can really like it or dislike it. I have had mixed experiences with hyaluronic acid in different products. This is an ingredient that is known for its hydrating properties. The Pretty Fresh line boasts being infused with hyaluronic acid. Overall however, this primer retails for $12 which is quite affordable for a primer, but it is not the most affordable primer I ever tried. If you’re in Europe or any other continent for that matter, Colourpop can be expensive to get as you have to incorporate the shipping and handling fees that will be added to your total. If you’re in the US, then this is far easier to get a hold of. However, I stress this every time I review one of their products as I feel I cannot repeat this message enough: it does depend on your location just how affordable exactly the brand is. Review: Colourpop Pretty Fresh Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid primerĬolourpop is of course known for being an affordable brand. So having tried those other products I was curious to find out if I’d like the primer in the same range as much as the other products. If you know anything about my skin then this may be no surprise to you: I have dry skin and the Pretty Fresh line is Colourpop’s more hydrating line of base products. So far I have tried their Pretty Fresh Tinted Moisturizer, Concealer and Foundation and fared quite well with each of them. The Colourpop Pretty Fresh line has been quite successful for me.
