Product Review: NYX High Definition Studio Photogenic Primer


We all know that investing on a good face primer is very important when it comes to skin care and makeup. I love to buy stuff online not only because the products that are sold on the internet are way cheaper than in physical stores or at the mall, but because we can haggle with some online sellers until the price drops a little more. :)
Bought this primer online for Php 600 + shipping fee of Php 50.




Product claims:


High definition, photogenic primer. Perfect for liquid makeup, foundation or face powder. Silky, lightweight application helps erase the appearance of fine lines and pores for a flawless finish. Your makeup will stay fresh until the party's over!








This makeup base comes in one shade only - HDPO1. Its a bluish white color that looks similar to an eyelash adhesive. It smells like a glue or a crayon but once you apply it on your skin it smells like a buttery lotion, the label clearly states that it is paraben-free and cruelty-free. Application is flawless, adheres to the skin well and will not make your skin look pale (even if its white) most of the primers are colorless/clear or will come in peach or nude shades. I tried wearing the primer on my face alone for a few hours and It feels very light on the skin especially when its worn without makeup. (no powder or anything just primer and lip balm) I also tried wearing the primer with foundation on and the face makeup lasted for about 7 hours. It would also depend on your skin type and the type of foundation used. I have combination skin and I tried using both cream and liquid foundation and the primer held on to my makeup really well.


The consistency is more of a liquid than cream type, its very thin and easy to apply and blends perfectly on the skin.




Directions of use:

  • Clean and moisturize face
  • Pump a pea size amount of the product
  • Apply small dots from the forehead to your cheeks, chin, nose bridge, jaw line 
  • Spread the product all over your face using your foundation brush


What I don't like about the NYX HD Photogenic Primer:
  • It has a pungent smell
  • The product claims that its for all skin types but I won't recommend it to those who have oily skin to apply it without foundation and setting powder because your face will look greasy


What I like about the NYX HD Photogenic Primer:
  • Very affordable for an HD Primer (Php 650 total bought from an online shop)
  • You can control the amount of product to be used because the packaging comes in a sleek and handy pump bottle 
  • It helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and pores
  • You can wear this primer on its own and will still look good even in photos
  • Adheres well with any type of foundation (e.g liquid, cream, powder) and has brightening effect
  • This primer contains Salicornia Herbacea extracts which has antioxidant properties and whitening effects on skin and acts as a perfect rejuvenating agent.



Will I purchase the product again?

Definitely will. :)
