En primer för läpparna är en väldigt trevlig produkt tycker jag! Det är en blandning av “behöver jag verkligen detta?” och “vilken välgjord mun jag fick till idag!”.
What is a lip primer?
Alla olika primers heter “primer” för att det är en grund innan nästa produkt. Men en ansiktsprimer, ögonskuggsprimer och läpprimer har helt olika egenskaper. Det alla har gemensamt dock är att dom förlänger sminkets hållbarheten på olika sätt tack vare att man får en bättre yta att applicera produkterna på.
A lip primer smoothes the texture of the lips and makes the lip product stay in place longer!
Why use lip primer?
I use lip primer mainly to even out both the lip but also a little outside, I paint the lips so extremely far outside my own lip shape that the skin in the contours is completely different and some lipsticks are therefore not as easy to apply evenly and nicely at the edges.
It is also a good product for you who have a lot of lines both on and off the lips and want to make the lips a little extra smooth or prevent the lip makeup from flowing out.
Then it also prolongs the shelf life, but personally I use such good lip products that last a long time anyway so I do not notice an extreme difference on that point actually.
Today I thought I would compare 3 different lip primers with a review and rank which one I like the most! I can start by saying that no one is bad, but it was not difficult to decide the winner;)
The three brands I test are Oriflame, NYX and 3ina (pronounced Mina) and I have all received them in press releases on various occasions.
I think I'm starting to review in the rankings with the lowest rating first:
3ina The Lip Primer
This lip primer is quite different from the other two and I think it works well overall but it has some details that I do not think are completely optimal:
1. It is liquid in tube form, which I do not think is a simple application. I take a click and poke out with my fingertip but you do not get real precision in the edges.
2. It is a bit colored in a cool purple-pink tone, which I in itself can think is a bit nice on myself, but that makes me prefer not to put it further than I should put on lip makeup - which I otherwise often do if the lipstick has a risk of flowing out.
3. Den har en tendens att “smula” om man inte är väldigt försiktig med att lägga tunt.
But it has a lot of good stuff too, it gets really smooth and if you want a matte result, it is really great because it gets matte without getting dry. Then it also contains hyaluronic acid :)
Here you see this on the lips! Do you see that the lip gets a purple-pink glow?
NYX Professional Lip Primer
Answer yes as you can see in the picture I was tired one morning and tried to sharpen the plastic but it is really just screwed up at the bottom of the pen haha. So it can go sometimes :)
Hur som helst – pennformatet gillar jag mycket mer än tub! Den blir mjuk på läpparna och speciellt gillar jag denna under torra läppennor för att få bättre glid och skönare känsla. Och jag tror absolut att den förlänger hållbarheten bra om man har läppstift som försvinner snabbt för det känns som att dom “fäster ihop” bra med primern om ni förstår hur jag menar?
But it is not the best in tests because I think the formula is a bit too waxy and does not smooth out the texture in the same way as the other two. But still a good and affordable primer absolutely!
You can see in the picture that it is more creamy and also gives a lightening to the lips as it is slightly beige.
Oriflame The ONE Lip Primer
The winner of the test is the lip primer pen from Oriflame!
Den här läpprimern slätar ut läpparnas textur och linjer jättefint och är mjuk och krämig på läpparna samtidigt som den ger ett matt utseende. Så den passar lika bra för att ge torra läppennor och läppstift med “glid” och mjukare känsla utan att bli för krämig.
It is also the most caring primer and contains shea butter, which is very nice under lip make-up. It certainly contains more silicones than shea butter, but still;)
It is SEK 30 more expensive than the above products, but SEK 109 for a good product is still affordable and the difference is so great that I would definitely spend SEK 30 more on it!
This is what it looks like on the lips. The pin looks white but it does not turn white at all on the lips, although you have a faint enlightenment but I think it's just fine.
Here you see the difference in how well it smoothes the lip:
There is a bit of a focus on the upper lip on the model, but you see the difference on all lines on the lower lip, really big difference!
As for Oriflame's lip primer, I have nothing to complain about actually, it is really, really good :)
I could have it all alone on my lips if you are going to be without lip makeup one day but just want a nice improvement! :)
Hope you found this post helpful!
