Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer

Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer ($30; Press Sample) is a silicone-free, moisturizing primer that helps smooth skin out for flawless, even makeup application. Like most primers, it also claims to improve and enhance wear time.





Its a gel-cream texture that blends beautifully on my combination/dry skin. If you don't have very dry skin, you could skip a moisturizer as this leaves a dewy finish and creates a soft canvas for makeup. It lacks the slip that most silicone-based primers have and sinks in pretty well. The scent is amazing too - very soothing and calming, but also a tad strong, so if you don't like fragrance in your primer/bases, you might want to take a whiff before buying. As for boosting wear time, I think it does a great job on my skin type, but if you have oily skin, you might want to try something that is a little more mattifying. This is more of a moisturizing primer and I like how it keeps my skin feeling soft and hydrated even on days when my skin isn't looking its best. It doesn't shrink pores or fill lines though. Overall, if you are on the lookout for a silicone-free, moisturizing base, this is definitely worth checking out. If you are looking for a silicone-free mattifying base, the Pomegranate Mattifying Primer by Korres might be a better choice!

  2. glad you like this one! I didn't love it, so i returned it. the scent was a bit much for me, and it just felt like it didn't totally dry down or whatever on me. Oh well!

    1. Ohh do you have oily skin coz I can see it sitting on top, if so. I like the scent, but Korres does have some very strongly scented products :)
