Review: Loreal Studio Secrets Color Corrector

I saw these primers at the regular old drugstore and thought HMM ooouuu a primer from Loreal! I don't think I've seen one that's widely available that is "color correcting".


The Idea:
They have 3 shades (maybe more, I'm not sure). One that looks pinkish for light skin, an orangey one for medium-dark skin, and one that's green for people who have extra redness on their skin. This is from their "Professional Line" so the product quality is supposed to be elite compared to what they've been marketing normally.

My Idea:
I got the medium-dark primer along with the green. I was going to put the medium one to even out my face then green on places where I had acne marks to counteract the redness.

Price:
12.95 at Rite Aid (available at most supermarkets or drugstores in the US)
-expensive for ds brand but it means it can go on sale one day

Size:
.68 FL
-you want a larger sized bottle for a primer
-this is too small of a size for something to be used often
-it's ok for me because I don't use foundation everyday but a lot of people do this size won't last them too long

Texture:
-liquid/runny and light
-not gel, not cream, like a smooth liquid moisturizer
-satin finish, not sparkly but not matte
-takes a while to blend in perfectly

Appearance:
-"orange" one gives a tanned look all over skin (I'm nc33-37 in mac)
-green one stays a hint of green and leaves you with a noticeable white cast even after blending

Medium "Orange Even Skintone" Primer

Cons
-small size, expensive
-doesn't control oil, reduce appearance of pores
-leaves orange cast on face
-made face appear cakey
-hard to blend
-skin looks better without it

Pros
-it is light

yo this product kinda sucks

Green Anti-Redness Primer

Cons
-leaves face/areas very pale after blending
-small, expensive
-barely works no oil control no making skin look prepped for foundation really

Pros
-good for people who have very red cheeks, they can apply a thin layer only where needed
-light

This one is a little better but it still kinda sucks.

I wouldn't buy either of them again. I'd save my money for a primer from a high end store.
