Prime Prometics Color Changing Foundation for Mature Women

This foundation really is worth a write up. It presents like a white cream and then as soon as you start to apply pressure to it and spread it over you face it begins to change color. It is incredibly smooth and lightweight, making application really easy. It doesn't clump and is very easy to apply. One pump is enough to cover your face, meaning a bottle can go quite a ways. After application it make look a little light. Give it 5 minutes and it will amazingly color match. It leaves a dewy look, which makes the skin look naturally even toned. If you want a more matte look you can apply a loose powder over.

Light weight, feels like you have nothing on. It does change color and looks very natural. My new go to. Good value for the money because two small drops does my entire face. No skin reactions, stays on all day, and the quality of the product is everything I was looking for. It still gets into deep wrinkles but I find that if you dab those areas after it sets to take the excess away, everything is good.

So far, so good, though I’ve only been using for less than a week. A few months ago, I tried this “chameleon” foundation one time when my sister had begun using it and asked if I’d like to try it. I did, it performed as advertised (matched my skin), but I’d just purchased some pricey foundation and primer, and I’m not one to waste, so I wanted to finish that one.

So here I am, a new Prime Prometics user.

This color-match foundation goes on as advertised and does match. It looks like a face cream when I “dot” it on my face, but changes as I use my foundation brush (I did not purchase the Prometics brush because I have brushes already, and I do recommend using a brush to apply it.) This does seem to leave a slightly peachy tint on my face, but I’m okay with some color. I’m pretty fair (except for my freckles). I also have patches of malasma, and some redness, and sun spots, all of which I’m working on with the help of my dermatologist.

As my first step, I always cleanse, exfoliate, and tone, apply my daytime Rx serums and Rx treatments, then use a face moisturizer with 46 SPF, then a face primer which has 50 SPF, and a color correcting eyelid primer (for my hard-to-hide blue/red pigmentation). I let these each “settle in” for a few minutes after each product layer.

Once my “canvas” is prepared, I’m ready for my foundation.

I do not believe this Prometics color-match foundation has adequate SPF. I saw somewhere it’s only 15 SPF, so not really much at all. Not enough, anyways.

It doesn’t take much product at all, and I found this foundation to apply very easily and “plays well” with my initial layers. The coverage is not sheer! I have very fair skin, and one application of this did a fairly decent job of covering my sun spots and malasma. It did a fair job of covering my blue/red pigmented eyelids, smoothly layering over my primer.

This is great foundation for the “no-makeup” look. I did not need a second layer which surprised the heck out of me!

It lasts without needing to re-apply, but again I used a primer. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines, which, at 65, I’ve begun seeing a few more of!

I have sensitive skin but didn’t experience any adverse skin reactions or irritations at all.

I really do like this foundation. Easy to apply, layers well over skin treatments, matches skin tone, lasts all day,…. However…..My only negative is the lack of SPF protection, hence my 3* rating. I saw somewhere it’s only 15 SPF, but even that it does not provide adequate SPF protection against the high UV exposure. I’m kind of a stickler for that these days, and have been using Laura Geller which has 50 SPF.

If I’m wrong and this foundation has a higher SPF (at least 30 SPF, but preferably higher) I’ll amend my rating.

Perfect color match!!! You have to give it a few minutes to adapt, but it does blend into your skin tone beautifully. I'm 73 so my face shows some wear. Definitely use a brush and you don't need much product. It can be layered if you have problem areas. Although pricey, it is worth the results. A little goes a long way, so actually cost effective. Wears well all day and comes off with ease (I use Micellor water). Does not settle into fine lines; actually makes some disappear! Highly recommend.

Does exactly what it says. Medium buildable coverage, does not oxidize or turn orange, does not settle into lines and creases, stays all day. Finish color is a little lighter than true color match, but still looks good. Will buy again!

I was hesitant to buy this product since I’m not big on using foundation. Although it does not completely live up to the hype I was pleased with the results. Super easy to use( I did get the brush that was recommended)it blended easily and looked as natural as any foundation can. It isn’t easy to wash off so I’d suggest getting a makeup remover but I’d buy it again.

Update - after using a week, I am disappointed! It settles into all my fine lines & looks really oily by mid-day.

Would use again! At 62 years old, I am having trouble finding a foundation that I like. Jones Road was too thin/light. Nars settled too much in my lines. I like this one so far. It does settle some in my ( ) beside my mouth, but not bad. I like the color matching. I was worried about the orange comments, but don't have that. I would recommend trying!

love how this works, it matches my skin tone and has light and even coverage. I use a light moisturizer underneath before I apply, this looks a lot smoother than just applying the foundation directly on the skin. Since it is light coverage I also use a spot concealer and just apply where needed. Overall this is a great foundation for a daily look that lasts all day. Washing it off at night I can see it is still 100% on, it helps to use soap, water, and toner pads to make sure it all comes off as it does not wear off like traditional foundations.
