Lacura Snapshot Ready Foundation Primer 30ml

Product Information

I don’t wear makeup often, and I’m not sure if this will become part of my regular routine when I do occasionally wear makeup, but I’m happy with it for now. I use Estée Lauder’s Double Wear foundation, which I love, but during winter it does tend to show up my dry patches and can be harder to blend, despite using both a serum and heavy moisturiser.

It’s the silicones within the primer which give the pore-blurring effect, and it’s rare to find a primer which does offer blurring benefits without having that same slimey texture. This Aldi Lacura Snapshot Ready Foundation Primer originally launched back in 2018, and it’s been so popular for Aldi that they’ve gone on to launch multiple other types of their ‘Snapshot’ primer. Once you squeeze the primer from the tube, it’s a clear gel which feels very slimey like a silicone-heavy primer (and the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer) does.Depending on your hair type, it can be a bit difficult to wash out and might cause some build-up (btw, this is not true to all silicones, only the non-volatile types). But their hot cloth cleanser is a great dupe for Liz Earle, and their fragrances are great too - like this Tom Ford inspired scent. I have oily skin so usually my skin starts to get oily after 3-4 hours of wear but with the primer my foundation lasts around 5-7 hours.

That changed in February of 2022 when Aldi US sold primer, eye shadow, and mascara as limited-time specials. Superb primer - after using the Smashbox one for years switched to this one and saved a fortune and really could not tell a difference between them. I’m not a big makeup person, so your mileage may vary with Aldi makeup, depending on how heavily you apply it. The Lacura Snapshot Ready Primer blurs the look of pores and fine lines so you’re snap-shot ready in a flash!

It is also the most commonly used "base" material for layered composite pigments such as pearl-effect pigments. However, the bronzer is a bit too light for me so if you do have darker skin I probably wouldn’t recommend it as you’d only be able to use the highlighter.

Vitamin A is commonly known as retinol (which is how it is listed in the ingredients) and is highly effective in reversing sun damage and signs of ageing by stimulating blood flow and collagen production.

However, the package does state it is oil free and it did seem to absorb well into my skin (my skin is super thirsty during winter) and left a silky finish. So with the primer my foundation definitely lasts longer and doesn’t crease in my smile lines which it usually does.

The supermarket's Lacura Snapshot Ready Glow Primer is said to be an exact 'dupe' for the iconic Photo Finish Primer from Smashbox, which has become something of a holy grail product for beauty enthusiasts. In this case, Lacura’s Snapshot Ready Foundation Primer is clearly inspired by the popular Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. On the box, the product boasts that it is oil-free and contains vitamins A and E, grapeseed extract and green tea.

S. has offered only a limited selection of beauty products in recent years, including occasional lip balm as well as day and night creams.But, if you’ve been wanting to up your make-up and skincare game without breaking the bank, we may just have the answer and it’s in an unlikely place – Aldi. I applied the Smashbox primer to the right side of my face and took notice of how well it glided on to the skin to blur imperfections and the appearance of blemishes. The ideal addition to your makeup bag, this primer will help you to achieve a flawless looking foundation no matter your skin type, and is sure to get you photo-ready in no time! They both come in very chic black and white packaging, they both contain 30ml of product, and both have Dimethicone and Dimethicone Vinyl in their top five ingredients. The TL; DR version of HA is that it's a huge polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) found in the skin that acts as a sponge helping the skin to hold onto water, being plump and elastic.
