Re: Makeup Primer
Vilia,
It is silicone based. I prefer it for skin, rather than hair, as I am aware that silicone can be drying. Which is why I moisturize just before using the Velvet Skin Coat.
I also at times, blend the VSC with Aveda's Hydrating Masque to create a moisturizing primer.
Silicone-based products, especially as a primer, do not seep into the skin, they create a layer that lays on the surface which helps everything else you put on top apply more smoothly.
Plus, at the end of the day, you can actually REMOVE everything. If you notice no product in your makeup removal ritual, then the product is seeping into the skin.
The MAC primer feels too runny to me and filled with other liquids. VSC is dense but extremely lightweight. I'd give it a shot if you're interested in trying a new primer, but if the Ultima 11 works for you, stick with it! :0)
