Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Vs Loreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer

HELLO! Makeup primer is a product that goes on after moisturizing, but before foundation. It keeps the foundation from absorbing into tiny pores of your face and is supposed to create a smooth canvas for the foundation to stick to, and make it last longer.
I've been using my trustee Loreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer for several years now. Recently I got myself the Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base in travel size after reading all the rave reviews about this moisturiser cum primer. Personally I like both the primers however both are different in their own ways...




So lets get started with my comparision review between Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Vs Loreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer:-

Price- BB Vitamin Enriched Face Base retails at £36 per 50ml bottle while the Loreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer retails at £14 per 15ml bottle.Therefore, Bobbi Brown primer has emerged as the clear winner in terms of price per ml comparision.
Texture -  Both the primers are very different in terms of texture. BB Vitamin Enriched Face Base is a gel based cream and has a very light yellow colour to it. It has a heavier texture than Loreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer, which in contrast, has a mousse-like texture and a baby pink colour to it. BB face primer doesn't gives me a poreless look but it does impart a healthy glow to my face and it is also a very moisturising and nourishing primer for the face. Loreal primer has a matte texture and makes my pores and fine lines almost imvisible, however it doesn't have any moisturising or nourishing qualities like the BB face base.
Scent-  I love the smell of BB face base. It smells like lemon and grapefruit and the smell in not very overpowering however it might not be the best choice for those who are allergic to scented products or prefer to use fragrance-free products. The Loreal primer has a very faint smell..its almost scent-free and therefore would be more suitable for those who are allergic to perfumes.
Staying power - Both the primers do a very good job at making my makeup last for longer. I just need to powder a bit by the midday to keep away the oilies and my makeup stays on place for all day long.

Conclusion-  I prefer to use the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base during winters when my skin is at its peak of dryness and starving for moisture due to central heating and harsh weather. It does not make my face feel or look dry and provides great moisture and nourishment. It also makes my face look dewy and gives some dimention under foundaiton.
Loreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer is a nice primer for summers or for someone with oilier skin. I tend to get more oily during summers and prefer oil-free products and skin mattifiers to help me stay oil-free for longer, the Loreal primer does a brilliant job of mattifying my skin.
Overall, both the primers work great on my skin and make my makeup last for longer however, they are not similiar in the way they perform, they are suited for different skin types and provide different finish to the skin. If you want your skin to look matte and poreless then you should opt for the Loreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer, however, if you are looking for a dewy finish and healthy glow then Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is the best option to consider amongst the two primers.
