I know you’re probably tired of hearing yet another thing you should add to your makeup and skincare routine. However, consider the Bioderma Hyrdrabio Perfecteur as something that might speed up your makeup process as it serves as a primer, moisturizer, sunblock, and even night cream all in one.
If you’re a little skeptical, do know that Tinq Duque, makeup artist to Tweetie De Leon Gonzalez, Dawn Zulueta, and Bea Alonzo is a fan of the brand and uses it as a base for their makeup. Primarily, it is a radiance booster that gives a hydrated and plump appearance to the skin. It’ll make your highlight pop and your foundation sit well on the skin (and who wouldn’t want that?). Thinking about all the lights and overnight demands celebrities have, this product isn’t messing around.
The scent is very spa-like and doesn’t linger once absorbed into the skin. It is also very light so you don’t have to worry about it clogging your pores or making you feel like you’re wearing a rubber mask when it gets humid. I can’t say much about it helping keep my makeup on for longer as I always use a setting spray. But do know that you must avoid putting even the slightest bit over your eyelid as it tends to decrease the hold of your gel and cream liners.
The results of the Bioderma Hydrabio Perfecteur aren’t just seen when you wear makeup. As a skincare product, it locks in moisture to reduce wrinkles and skin dullness. So even if you’re not wearing any makeup, you should still use it as a final step. Plus, it is also formulated with sensitive skin in mind so you don’t have to worry about breakouts. It also doesn’t hurt that it contains SPF 30 so you can have extra-protection from the UV rays.
Packaging-wise, it’s quite ingenious as it comes in a tube with a pump. No issues about dipping your fingers in a pot that can be a bit unsanitary. It’s also easy to take with you to work or even with you on the plane for mid-flight skincare sessions after your sheet mask.
With a good skincare routine and beauty habits, this product just might even help you look good without makeup.
