Consider your primer to be the photoshop of the makeup world. Put simply, primer is exactly what its name implies: It’s a preparatory product, that’s applied after your skin care to create, an ideal canvas to hold onto whatever makeup comes afterward — like foundation, tinted moisturizer, or concealer. The newest primers don’t just smooth skin, keep makeup in place, and blur pores to near invisibility. They can also brighten, fade fine lines and wrinkles, target acne, and add tons of moisture. However, primers still remain one of the more mysterious and puzzling base products on the market. There’s such a vast array of different primer options available — hydrating, mattifying, blurring, luminizing, and more — it can be very confusing to figure out which type of primer will work for you.

It’s an instant fix if you suffer from dry skin because it will bring your skin back to life. Plus, your skin will glow -with or without makeup!

You can find the New Dominique Blur & Moisturize Serum Primer on the Dominique Cosmetics Website. The Blur & Moisturize Serum Primer (1.0 fl.oz. /30 mL) costs $28.
The outer box is a subtle mauve lavender shade, with white writing. Inside the box, is Dominique’s inspirational thought, (she gives you a new inspirational thought with each new product), this one is “Starting Fresh.” 
The primer comes packaged in a white plastic tube, with Mauve writing. 
The tube has a clear plastic lid, that covers a mauve, plastic (that looks like metal), pump.
I tried to find something on the boxes, or online, about eco-friendly, sustainable packaging. No such luck. In this day and age, I understand that packaging makes the product more enticing, but I also understand how important it is to save our environment. 
I hope Dominique Cosmetics delves further into finding recyclable packaging, reusable plastics, etc. This is as important, as it is to give women inspirational messages on the packaging. I would be surprised if Dominique Cosmetics, from California, isn’t already practicing eco-friendly, sustainability. The brand is Cruelty-Free, and Paraben-Free.
The Blur & Moisturize Serum Primer, has a Gel-Like Formula. The formula includes clean, powerhouse ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Trehalose, Betaine, and a Unique Sugar Complex that delivers a burst of hydration. The active ingredient of Saliporine-8 helps boost your skin’s hydration level by 6,000% within 30 days, so you maintain a hydrated complexion under your makeup. The primer, when applied, has a refreshing, cooling feel. The serum has a thin consistency, that feels weightless. When the formula dries down, it feels slightly tacky. This tacky feeling is a good feature, because, it grips your makeup, so your makeup will last all day. It locks moisture in, all day, with or without makeup.
It’s best to apply the serum primer with your fingers instead of a brush. The warmth of your fingers helps melt it into your skin, which makes for easier application and better absorption. If you aren’t into using your fingers, then you can apply the primer with a damp beauty blender. To apply, rub it onto your skin in circular motions. Then wait a couple minutes for it to sink in before you put on makeup. That’s the secret to making the primer work with your makeup!!
You can absolutely use the primer without makeup! It is fantastic for that “I’m not wearing any makeup” makeup look. It creates a smooth complexion without the heaviness of foundation, and it neutralizes redness from acne and irritation. 
Also, if you’re into minimalist beauty — or you want to put an end to the large amount of products falling out of your medicine cabinet — this Blurr & Moisturizing Serum Primer doubles as a moisturizer.
