Inglot Under Makeup Base Review

Hello Ladies,
It’s a gorgeous chilly day here and the weekend is here too.  So what plans for the weekend? I was at the Global Village yesterday.  It was fun, I highly recommend you guys to visit it before the Dubai Shopping Festival ends.  Also the climate is so sleepy and gloomy I feel like having my favorite chocolate golden ribbons ice cream or a chocolate truffle and sinking in my blanket and chatting/talking to “HIM”.  Alright all the mushiness aside, I am reviewing one of my new possessions today. The Inglot Under Makeup Base.

Product Claim:

Silky and smooth feel gel which is made by dispersing oil swell able sponge-like spheres in a mixture of silicones.Sponge-like spheres absorb the excess facial oil as much as available to reach a saturation equilibrium. Sponge-like spheres create a very strong mattifying effect by scattering the incoming rays of light in all directions and diminish the reflected light.

Wait 2-3 minutes before applying foundation or powder.

PARABEN FREE FORMULA

NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS

IMG 0020 2 Inglot Under Makeup Base Review
Frankly speaking this is my first primer, I never thought I’d need any but I had to try what actually it does and why women use it. I had only heard and read about primers till last week. :P So now I feel after using the Inglot Under Makeup Base that I was living on another planet till date. :P Excited to know how revolutionary this product is? Read on.

closer look

The texture of the Inglot Under Makeup Base is transparent gel – sponge like with minute granules. These granules melt on application. 

Application :
I do not use a brush t apply primer, and use my fingers . All you need to do is, on a cleansed face apply the Inglot Under Makeup Base and keep it for 5 minutes and then carry on with your regular makeup routine. You just need a wee little bit of the product.

What does a primer do?
It basically evens out your skin. Fills in the pores, fine lines and keep the skin from getting oily and greasy.  Primers are used to have a plain canvas for makeup application.

What do I like about the Inglot Under Makeup Base :

• The price, 65 AED for a primer is totally worth it.
• You get a proportionate quantity of the product too.  30 ml for 65 AED is not bad at all. 
• Packaging. The tube packaging ensures you get the right quantity out and product wastage doesn’t occur. 
• Fragrance free. I think scented foundations are fine but then a makeup base has to be fragrance free to tone down that over powering fragrant makeup.
• The application is easy, like I use my fingers to apply it.
• You do not need a lot of product. Hence, this shall last you long.
• Diminishes the pores. Big or Small.
• Even out the skin surface, giving an even canvas to work on.
• Keeps my t-zone (read : skin) from getting oily or greasy for the WHOLE DAY.
• Makes my skin feel velvety soft. 
• Helps the makeup to cling on to the skin.
• Isn’t tinted. 
• Paraben free.
• Cruelty free.
• Didn’t break me out.
• I use it as a primer for my eye lids too, and it works brilliantly there too. 
• It is moisturizing / hydrating.
• For all skin types.
• Absorbs into the skin quiet easily and seamlessly.
• Mum says it work gorgeously on her mature skin, and big pores and fine lines.

What I don’t like about the Inglot Under Makeup Base :

Seriously I do not have any cons except for the silicone content in the tube. 

Final Verdict :
I love Inglot as a brand and I love this primer, this is a staple in my makeup routine now. I highly recommend this to everyone but I would also say if you have a super sensitive skin the silicone content should be kept in mind. 

Ratings :
4/5 ( -1 for silicone content)
