Lacura Snapshot Ready Foundation Primer 30ml

Product Information

Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice). I’m not a big makeup person, so your mileage may vary with Aldi makeup, depending on how heavily you apply it. The flaky areas were still flaky – but as my foundation dried it didn’t seem to look as bad as it usually does.

Aldi’s famous budget friendly skincare range Lacura released a primer, so I decided to give it a go. A vegetable-based emulsifier that helps the oily and watery parts of the formula to mix nicely together. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. We wholeheartedly support the rise of seedless grapes as fruit snacks, but when it comes to skincare, we are big fans of the seeds. Designed to detoxify and brighten your skin, the mask helps to draw out impurities and refine pores, and this time it’s back with a new formula that contains ingredients like Australian kakadu plum and witch hazel.The ideal addition to your makeup bag, this primer will help you to achieve a flawless looking foundation no matter your skin type, and is sure to get you photo-ready in no time! In texture, colour and packaging they look identical, but when you apply the Smashbox version, it really does make your pores look considerably less noticeable, and I don’t get that same result with this version of the Aldi primer.

Another product that featured in our round-up of the supermarket’s best beauty dupes, our tester said the texture and consistency is strikingly similar to the real thing. Vegan and cruelty-free, the lightweight primer offers a velvety texture that’s infused with vitamin A and E, and offers a smooth and flawless base on which to apply my foundation. I applied the Smashbox primer to the right side of my face and took notice of how well it glided on to the skin to blur imperfections and the appearance of blemishes.And if that's not enough, GSPs and other flavonoids in grape also show UV protecting and anti-cancer properties. My teen daughter and I applied a small amount of the Lacura primer before putting on some name-brand L’Oréal Paris foundation. The vitamin E is listed as tocopheryl acetate and is commonly used in skin care as a skin-conditioning agent and antioxidant. If you missed the similarities in the name of the product, you only need to glance at the bottle of each primer to see where Aldi looked for inspiration. So with the primer my foundation definitely lasts longer and doesn’t crease in my smile lines which it usually does.

Packed with botanical oils like sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil, pomegranate see oil and orange peel extract, plus vitamin E, the supermarket says it will leave you “smelling and feeling incredible”. It is also the most commonly used "base" material for layered composite pigments such as pearl-effect pigments. There are different grades depending on the molecular weight ranging from very light, volatile, non-residue leaving ones to more substantial, slight residue leaving ones. It’s interesting that Aldi decided to sell primer, which is meant to be used prior to applying foundation, and yet they did not sell foundation as well. Containing vitamin E and panthenol, The Lacura Snapshot Ready Glow Primer has earned fans who say it leaves them with the perfect blank canvas for their make-up.

It doesn’t seem to have much of a smell and I couldn’t see any fragrance listed in the ingredients – something I was quite happy about. The German budget retailer is pretty well known for their ‘inspired’ products, from Jo Malone-esque candles, even to D omino’s cookies. I was keen to see how it would perform over a long day at work in the overly heated office and outside in the cold winter air (I walk to work).
