'Game changer' makeup product for older skin helps 'fill open pores and fine lines'
A makeup product that promises to 'fill open pores and fine lines' for a flawless foundation application has been hailed as a 'game changer' by mature shoppers. The Smooth Like Silk Face Prime from brand Look Fabulous Forever has received high praise, with some customers claiming it's 'better' than well-known brands and have been 'buying it on repeat' for nearly ten years. As skin matures, the longevity of foundation, eye makeup, and lipstick tends to decrease. This is often due to the skin not being as smooth as it once was, coupled with a reduction in oestrogen production, which can leave it drier. As a result, makeup can be absorbed into the skin, settling into fine lines and fading as the day progresses. Therefore, a quality primer is essential to maintain a fresh makeup look throughout the day, a promise made by the Smooth Like Silk Face Prime. Retailing at £29, this complexion product can be used to prepare the skin before applying makeup. For those short on time, it can also be mixed directly into the foundation, achieving equally effective results, reports the Mirror. Specifically designed for mature skin, the primer contains aloe vera and silica, ingredients known to 'fill open pores and fine lines', providing an ideal base for long-lasting makeup. It helps prevent makeup from 'disappearing' during the day, reducing the need for constant touch-ups and ensuring a 'fresh' look all day. The primer has received a plethora of positive reviews from fans, with over 300 shoppers commenting on this makeup essential. One customer shared: "This was the first product I ever bought from LFF, some 9+ years ago, and I've been purchasing it regularly ever since. Foundation simply glides on top of it. If in a hurry, mix it into your foundation." Look Fabulous Forever Linkby Smooth Like Silk Face Prime Face prime with aloe vera and silica fills open pores and fine lines and provides the perfect base for long-lasting makeup From £ 29 Look Fabulous Forever Buy Now Several customers have claimed that it's 'better' than the popular brand Benefit. One remarked: "I used Benefit pore minimiser which was OK for my open pores on my nose. However, this primer is so much better. The primer blurs my open pores more effectively than Benefit. So good that this is my 2nd bottle." Another added: "For years I have been using Benefit pore minimiser as a primer and to reduce my open pores mainly on my nose. I find Benefit is the only primer I can use with other brands of foundation and to hide my pores until now. This Smooth Like Silk Primer is even much better. Not only does it minimise my large nose pores, it blends smoothly with other brands of foundation, makes my skin look even and smooth. For a 66 year old lady to receive a compliment from a 30 year old says it all. I definitely recommend this primer." While the formula has received high praise from many customers, some have expressed dissatisfaction with the packaging. One customer shared: "Game-changing product! Just a tiny amount goes a long way to make skin smooth as silk and primed so that foundation glides on evenly and stays put all day. The only thing I would change would be the packaging. A lightweight plastic squeezy tube would be easier to pack when travelling. I want to take this key item everywhere I go." (Image: Look Fabulous Forever) Another fan of the primer commented: "This primer does feel 'smooth like silk' on application," but added, "However, have rated 4 stars instead of 5 because I find the square shape of the container takes up too much room in a make-up bag." Some beauty enthusiasts have even abandoned their foundation for a more natural look since switching to the Look Fabulous Forever primer. One such customer enthused: "Absolutely love this product out of all LFF products this is hands down my number 1. Why? It does exactly what it says it will do, no faff no fuss. I wear it every working day, it smooths my complexion beautifully so much so I hardly ever wear foundation. Just a bit of Rosy Glow and lipstick! Ordered 2 bottles as I just ran out and was having withdrawal symptoms." Primers with a similar consistency, sharing key ingredients such as Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone Crosspolymer like the Look Fabulous Forever primer, are compared to the likes of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer, typically £36, and Lancôme La Base Pro Perfecting Makeup Primer, usually £35. Yet, Look Fabulous Forever sets itself apart because it is crafted especially for mature skin. The enterprise was initiated by Tricia Cusden at the ripe age of 65, with the brand having just toasted to its 11th year in business. "I launched Look Fabulous Forever at the age of 65 because I felt largely invisible to the traditional beauty industry," said the founder. "I was also finding it increasingly difficult to find makeup that really worked on my older skin and have come to this business as a consumer - all our products are formulated so they perform brilliantly on older skin. At Look Fabulous Forever we want you to look fabulous whatever age you are without worrying too much about the odd wrinkle or grey hair." Intrigued customers seeking to explore more from the brand will be pleased to know that the retailer is presently providing an offer on a collection of primers. Valued at £83, the set is currently available for £59, featuring the Never Feather Lip Prime and Smooth Out Eye Prime, along with the Smooth Like Silk Face Prime. The eye primer provides a flawlessly smooth, neutral base to prevent your eyeshadow from settling into fine lines and maintain vibrant colours throughout the day. Meanwhile, the lip primer is crafted to seal the edges of your lips, preventing your lipstick from bleeding into the fine lines around the mouth. With a total saving of £24, and including a complimentary makeup bag, each of the primers comes in at less than £20 as part of the set. This could be an option worth exploring for those considering revamping their makeup bag with products more suitable for ageing skin.

Primer that 'fills' fine lines shoppers are buying 'on repeat'
One shopper has purchased the £29 makeup bag hero over and over for nine years, others have said it's 'better' than brands like Benefit, with our beauty experts claiming it shares similar ingredients to Lancome and YSL Mature shoppers have praised a 'game changer' makeup product that helps 'fill open pores and fine lines' for flawless foundation application. The Smooth Like Silk Face Prime from brand Look Fabulous Forever has been hailed as 'better' than popular brands, with some claiming to have been 'buying it on repeat' for almost a decade. As skin ages, foundation, eye makeup and lipstick no longer last all day as they once did. This is because the skin often isn't as smooth as it once was, and the reduction in oestrogen production also leaves it a lot drier, so makeup tends to get absorbed into the skin, settling into fine lines and disappearing as the day goes on. As such, a good primer is a must to keep makeup looking great all day, which is exactly what the Smooth Like Silk Face Prime promises. Priced at £29, the complexion product can be used before makeup to prep the skin, or for those in a rush, users can even mix it into foundation before applying to save time, while achieving just as effective results. Designed specifically for older skin, the primer is formulated with aloe vera and silica, which reportedly 'fills open pores and fine lines' and provides the perfect base for long-lasting makeup. It prevents makeup from 'disappearing' throughout the day, reducing the need for constant touch ups, keeping makeup looking 'fresh' all day. The primer has a wealth of glowing reviews from fans, with more than 300 shoppers having commented on the makeup staple. One said: 'This was the first product I ever bought from LFF, some 9+ years ago, and I've been buying it on repeat ever since. Foundation simply glides on top of it. If in a hurry, mix it into your foundation.' More than one shopper has said that it's 'better' than the beloved brand Benefit. One commented: 'I used Benefit pore minimiser which was OK for my open pores on my nose. However, this primer is so much better. The primer blurs my open pores more effectively than Benefit. So good that this is my 2nd bottle.' Another added: 'For years I have been using Benefit pore minimiser as a primer and to reduce my open pores mainly on my nose. I find Benefit is the only primer I can use with other brand of foundation and to hide my pores until now. This Smooth Like Silk Primer is even much better. Not only does it minimise my large nose pores, it blends smoothly with other brand of foundation, makes my skin look even and smooth. For a 66 year old lady to receive a compliment from a 30 year old says it all. I definitely recommend this primer.' While many shoppers were complimentary about the formula, a number of customers have mentioned that they don't love the packaging. One said: 'Game-changing product! Just a tiny amount goes a long way to make skin smooth as silk and primed so that foundation glides on evenly and stays put all day. The only thing I would change would be the packaging. A lightweight plastic squeezy tube would be easier to pack when travelling. I want to take this key item everywhere I go.' 'This primer does feel 'smooth like silk' on application,' said a fifth fan. 'However, have rated 4 stars instead of 5 because I find the square shape of the container takes up too much room in a make-up bag.' Some beauty lovers have even ditched foundation in favour of a lighter makeup look since making the switch to the Look Fabulous Forever primer. One said: 'Absolutely love this product out of all LFF products this is hands down my number 1. Why? It does exactly what it says it will do, no faff no fuss. I wear it every working day, it smooths my complexion beautifully so much so I hardly ever wear foundation. Just a bit of Rosy Glow and lipstick! Ordered 2 bottles as I just ran out and was having withdrawal symptoms.' Primers we might expect to have a similar consistency, sharing the same main two ingredient as the Look Fabulous Forever primer (Cyclopenatsiloxane and Dimethicone Crosspolymer) are the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer, which is usually £36, as well as the Lancôme La Base Pro Perfecting Makeup Primer, ordinarily £35. But what makes Look Fabulous Forever slightly different is that the brand is designed specifically for those with older skin. It was founded by Tricia Cusden when she was 65 years old, with the brand recently celebrating its 11th anniversary. "I launched Look Fabulous Forever at the age of 65 because I felt largely invisible to the traditional beauty industry,' the founder said. 'I was also finding it increasingly difficult to find makeup that really worked on my older skin and have come to this business as a consumer - all our products are formulated so they perform brilliantly on older skin. At Look Fabulous Forever we want you to look fabulous whatever age you are without worrying too much about the odd wrinkle or grey hair.' For those curious about the brand's other products, the retailer is currently offering a trio of primers at a discounted rate. Worth £83, the set is priced at £59 and contains the Never Feather Lip Prime and Smooth Out Eye Prime, as well as the Smooth Like Silk Face Prime. The eye primer creates a perfectly smooth, neutral base to prevent your eyeshadow from migrating into fine lines and keep colours fresh all day, while the lip primer is designed to seal the edges of your lips, keeping your lipstick from bleeding into the fine lines around the mouth. Saving £24 overall, and coming with a free makeup bag, each of the primers work out at less than £20 each as part of the set, which could be worth considering for those looking to overhaul their makeup bag with products better suited to ageing skin.
