Product Review: TFS Span Oil-Control Pre-makeup

I used to have the Monistat anti-chafing gel as an alternative. but sometimes, there are clients who’d be nosy and would act differently if they see the brand name. so that’s why i was in search for a cheaper primer that works at the same time.

Good thing i’ve found Span pre-makeup from The Face Shop:

Oil-controlling makeup primer that fills in big pores to prepare skin to be a perfect canvas for makeup.
1. Transparency (Clear) Gel Base – Suitable for ANY SKIN TONE – Shine-controlling, Silky finish
2. Silk Technology Polysoft Complex instantly fills in enlarged pores (without clogging). Pore Concealing”

(from TFS website)

honestly, this stuff works! priced at Php375, this is comparable with my Smashbox primer. It keeps my oilies at bay and helps in keeping my makeup intact.

PROS:
– cheaper, compared with Smashbox
– no allergic reactions
– keeps oilies at bay
– gel in consistency, with a slight tint of green but goes on colorless when applied
– makes pores less visible
– provides a smooth canvas for your foundation
– amount to disperse can easily be controlled
– a little goes a long way (i had mine for more than 2 mos, and been using it almost everyday and i don’t think i would need to purchase one soon!…i’ve also used it on some of my gigs)
– no smell

CONS:
– absolutely nothing!

this product is LOVE!
my friends who don’t like spending too much on makeup absolutely love this as well…i highly recommend this! (but of course, don’t just take my word on it…go ahead and try it yourself on the counter…wink!)
