NIVEA MEN | SENSITIVE POST SHAVE BALM $12.99 - FIRST IMPRESSION

I have discovered my ultimate favorite primer, thanks to Nikkie tutorials and it's not even a primer. This puppy has glycerin in the ingredients, this ingredient is the key to primers that help the longevity of your makeup and make your makeup stick so it won't budge.

Who would've thought men's products are useful for beauty purposes. The first impression, it smells very manly but that's to be expected. The formula is very light and light weight. So to start off,I have a clean fresh base, I apply roughly the amount to a 50 cent coin then start to apply this to my face like a moisturizer . The key to this is rubbing it into your skin until the product starts to feel sticky and a little tacky, that's when you know it's time to apply your foundation.

More about the formula (New Formula)

As it claims:

• 0% Alcohol

• Fast Absorbing

• Instantly soothes redness and dryness

• Reduces Skin Sensitivity with regular use

After you apply your foundation, apply the rest of your makeup as per normal. Also, I did not use a setting spray as I want to see the full effect of what the product can do. Current time is 11.05am. I have very high expectations for this product, so fingers crossed.

It is now 2.13pm in the afternoon, I have been outside in the hot sun since roughly 12pm, no changes to my makeup at all, everything is still intact. It doesn't feel tacky at all nor transferred onto my fingers. So far I'm highly impressed.

5.52pm, I have just noticed some oiliness starting to peak through on both sides of my nose and a little bit on my chin. The makeup has transferred onto my fingers after touching my chin, I have just applied a light dusting of powder in those areas. It hasn't gone patchy at all, so far so good. On a side note, I do have oily/combination skin.

Time is 8.45pm. Oil has come through more on my T-zone area. This product has held up very well especially for my skin type and how hot the day was. In total, I have had the product on for 8 hours and 45 minutes, that's a new record for any primer I have used. I am more intrigued about the sensitivity, the more regular use the more it helps with sensitivity within the skin.

If you would like to see a post in the upcoming months to see how well it performs for sensitivity, in the long run, let me know in the comments below.
