About Rouge Bunny Rouge Metamorphoses Mattifying Primer:

At the heart of the arid salt plains, where the land is unforgiving and few plants grow, stands a mysterious and majestic palace, home to the caretakers of the one stream that runs through this dry desert. Its marble walls stretch high into the sky, encircling the palace in a ring of pure white. But the sun here beats down so fiercely that all those who laid their eyes upon on the palace’s brilliantine white walls would instantly be blinded by its shining glare. For this reason, each morning a team of the stream caretakers departs to the plains to find the sprawling cactus plants that dot the landscape. They carefully slice open the cactus and remove the pure white sap from inside its protective husk.
Returning to the palace bearing pails of the carefully harvested sap, they gently apply it with sponges to the walls of the palace, already hot from the morning sunrays. The light and creamy liquid dissolves into the walls, allowing the heat to breathe its way out and the surface to absorb the day’s sunshine, caressing and smothering the sun’s rays until they are disarmed. All day the walls radiate a smooth, matt brightness; a natural glowing sheen of perfect creamy white, with no glare.
The feather-weight texture of our Mattifying Primer miraculously gives your skin a velvet matte suede glow; it removes the unwanted shine completely and evens out your skin tone.
The enriched formula, including moisturising and soothing actives such as Allantoin and Meadowfoam Seed Oil, smoothes fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin E fights free radicals and has anti-oxidant and anti-ageing properties.
Pores are tightened without the shocking sensation of a stiffening mask. Instead, you will actually feel the nourishing care of the weightless fluid, and see the transformation promised by many but achieved effortlessly by … Metamorphoses.
It can be used on its own or as a base for make-up.

My experience with Rouge Bunny Rouge Metamorphoses Mattifying Primer

I got a sample of this product to try on, and with the quantity I got, I could use it regularly for around 5-6 days. I usually would apply this primer on my face, eyelids and lips after I'd done my regular CTM routine for the day time. The primer is white in color and has creamy consistency which is neither too thick nor too runny - just apt enough to be blended well into the skin. It gets absorbed into my skin within seconds of application leaving behind soft and silky finish, which is matte. I really love the way it prepares my skin for foundation as my foundation just glides onto my skin effortlessly. I have oily-combination skin and I usually prefer matte makeup look for my daily office wear, and this has definitely helped me a lot in getting the look and sustaining it for many hours at office. My face remains shine free even after 5-6 hours whenever I apply this primer and my makeup along with the blush remains intact.
I've experienced a good amount of color pay off from my blushes and eyeshadows using this primer. My lipstick also stays for a bit longer duration, whenever I've used this primer over my lips after applying any lip color.

Below is a quick list of likes and dislikes that I've felt about this primer:

Likes:

1) Creamy texture that glides on my skin well, gets absorbed in second and leaves silky smooth matte finish.

2) Eases up the foundation application and helps get a seamlessly flawless look.

3) Keeps my face makeup intact and my T-zone shine free for 5-6 hours which is pretty good.

4) I've not experienced any allergic reactions or break out from this primer.

5) A very less quantity is needed to cover the entire face hence it'd definitely run for long time.
6) Enhances the color pay off of blushes and eyeshadows when used as a base for them. Also, my eyeshadows don't crease for a longer time and stay intact for 4-5 hours.

Dislikes:

1) Availability might be a concern, but you can purchase this from Zuneta.com
2) I didn't notice any noticeable reduction or tightening in size of my pores.
3) The product contains parabens.

Overall verdict:

This is a decent primer for everyday use. It really gives a smooth and flawless finish to the skin, thereby enhancing your eyeshadow's and blush's colors and staying power to a great extent, hence definitely recommended.

Rating: 3/5
