Sunkissed Flawless Grip Face Primer 24ml — Our Honest Review
Right hen, I've been slathering this Sunkissed Flawless Grip Face Primer on my face for weeks now through proper pish weather and mad busy days. At £4.29 it's cheaper than two lattes from Costa and it's sitting at #1 in primers on the site with 4.1 stars from 380 reviews, so I thought fuck it, let's give it a proper go instead of the usual high-street stuff.
It's a translucent gel that actually does what it says without any of that pretentious bollocks. The niacinamide brightens you up a bit and the vegan PETA-approved formula means I don't feel like a dickhead using it. Works under my foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, the lot – and it plays nice with my moisturiser and cleanser routine.
Texture and first impressions
It's this oil-free gel that feels cool and light on the fingers, no greasy slap at all. I dab it on with my fingertips like the instructions say, and it sets in seconds leaving a dewy finish that looks like you've had eight hours sleep instead of the usual four after a few wines.
First impressions were pure dead brilliant – no white cast, no weird smell, just smooths everything out so my foundation doesn't look caked on by midday. Way less faff than the expensive ones I've tried from Boots.
Wear and day-to-day use
This stuff has serious grip, mate. Wore it on a rainy Glasgow commute and then chasing the kids round the shops – makeup stayed fresh till I took it off at night. No sliding, no patchiness, even after a cheeky coffee and a blether with the girls.
The dewy glow lasts without turning into an oil slick, which is magic when your skin's all over the place depending on the weather. Slap it on after moisturiser, let it set, then do your face makeup and you're sorted for the full shift.
Value and who it suits
At £4.29 from MyBeauty.Boutique this is a total no-brainer – cheaper than a round at the pub and it outperforms primers twice the price. The 24ml tube lasts ages even if you're heavy-handed like me, and that 4.1 star rating isn't lying.
Suits every lass whether you've got dry, oily or combination skin that changes with the Scottish seasons. Perfect if you're vegan, on a budget, or just sick of fancy packaging that costs more than the actual product. Great wee ally for your whole face makeup and skincare routine.
Verdict
4.5 / 5. This Sunkissed Flawless Grip Face Primer is the real deal – proper grip, lovely dewy finish and it brightens without any nonsense. I've made it part of my daily routine and it hasn't let me down once. Grab it here: Sunkissed Flawless Grip Face Primer 24ml
Would I recommend it to my best mate after a few wines? Aye, absolutely. It's messy-life approved, affordable as hell and actually works. 4.5 from me, ya beauty.
