Today I am leaving to go to Berlin! My partner and I are taking a train and then a bus there, so it will be exciting because I have never been on a train and bus for such a long distance! We are going to stay in Berlin until Sunday night, but I will have a post ready for Saturday. I am so excited, and without further ado here is the review for the NYX Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer!

I purchased the NYX Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer in Clear as part of my NYX Cosmetics Haul. The Clear primer has a smooth texture, which helps cover fine lines and large pores. The primer also smooths my face and allows my foundation to glide on. My makeup does last longer with this primer, but I do recommend using a setting spray like the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray or the NYX Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray to ensure longevity. Also, I do not need to touch up my makeup during the day because my face remains oil-free.
The primer is affordable and should last several months before I need to repurchase it. Along with the Clear shade, there are lavender and green shades available too. The lavender shade should help with brightening yellow undertones while the green shade conceals redness, but I have not tried either of these primer shades. However, I have tried the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, and NYX’s primer has a similar texture and results, but NYX’s is half the price, so I would definitely recommend the NYX Studio Perfect Primer.

Want to try this primer 😍
i have the smashbox photo finish primer and i’m so glad to hear this has a similar result — reupping on smashbox can get a little pricey! i love reading reviews of nyx products, too — i love their stuff, but they have such a huge line, i never get around to buying everything, LOL!
I agree Smashbox can get pretty expensive! I love NYX too and I have not bought a lot of their products either!
I’ve never bought any makeup for my skin because there’s too many layers and I don’t know how it all works haha. But I’ve been trying to learn more and I’m glad you posted this. I’m REALLY into that price!! Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome! I use this primer as base for my foundation then concealer to cover any imperfections. The only other makeup I use on an everyday basis is mascara and lipstick, and I feel like those 5 items are enough for me.
So you can just use a primer and concealer without foundation and it looks just fine? I had no idea haha. I thought you had to have highlighting, bronzing, contour with a finishing powder and all that jazz
I use both foundation and concealer after putting on primer and it looks fine without using anything else! I don’t think it’s necessary to use highlight, contour, bronzer, blush, etc every day unless that’s what you want to do, but I find it very time consuming. I will use these products for special occasions though like a night out.
If I use a liquid foundation I will use finishing powder because it will make the foundation look better, but for powder foundation it its not necessary.
Alright well that’s good to know!! Thank you so much. Maybe I can get into it finally 🙂
You’re welcome! ^_^
Thanks for sharing the review! I’ve been wanting to try out NYXs primers, glad to hear they help the makeup last longer (that’s my main goal with the primer). Enjoy Berlin, I’m jealous!
You’re welcome and thank you!
Gonna try this out as it’s half the Smashbox primer’s price with similar results 😀
Enjoy your trip with your love too… <3
