Hi Everyone!! Today, I am sharing Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Perfect Cover Foundation Review.
Lakme has recently launched a foundation that comes with a built-in primer so, I thought to give it a try. I have purchased it in the shade W180 Warm Natural and here is its detailed review. Lakme has also recently launched Lakme Absolute 3D Matte Lipstick and Lakme Forever Matte Liquid Lip Colour and as I am a big lipstick lover so, I purchased both and have already shared my review on both.

My Experience With Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Perfect Cover Foundation
As shared above, I have this foundation in the shade W180 Warm Natural that I purchased online so, I was a little worried whether it will match my skin tone or not however, it really went well. The foundation has a flowy consistency and it has a mild flowery fragrance that doesn’t stay for long so, it will not bother sensitive noses.
As the foundation claims to have a built-in primer so, on half side of my face I applied it with additional primer and on the other half, I only applied this foundation. As the foundation has a flowy consistency, it spread really easily however, it glided a little smoother with a primer. Though, the foundation doesn’t highlight the pores so, you can easily skip the primer but if you have large pores then, I would suggest you apply a primer underneath this foundation.
I tried to blend this foundation with my fingers in circular motion and it really blended well. I also tried with a brush and sponge as well. With both the brush and sponge, it was easy to blend the foundation however, with a sponge, it was much easier. If I talk about the texture of this foundation then, I would say it is on the matte side. If you are having dry skin then, you definitely need to moisturize your skin well because it does cling on a little bit to the dry patches. The foundation offers a medium to buildable coverage and it gives a very smooth, natural finish and doesn’t really feel that I have something on my face. It really doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and that is, of course, a plus point.
Now, let’s talk about the longevity of the foundation. It really lasted well for 7-8 hours and I believe it would be a great option for people with oily skin. Another plus point about this foundation is that it doesn’t transfer much and is water-resistant as well. I also wanted to see whether the foundation oxidises or not and I have noticed it does oxidise half a shade, not much. Now, the foundation has SPF 20 so, I wanted to see if it gives a flashback or not and I noticed that there was just a little tonal change of the colour.
Overall, I really liked Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Perfect Cover Foundation and would definitely recommend trying this.
