What makes MagiX Blur stand out?
MagiX Blur is a whole new kind of primer – especially when it comes to Avon’s catalog!
The first difference, as you probably guessed, is the texture. While regular primers have a liquid consistency, this primer balm is just what it sounds like – a balm. This thicker consistency lends itself well to a formula that really blurs imperfections. When combined with the blurring powder microspheres, this product has a serious ability to blur the skin into a smooth canvas. It’s great for when you want to kick it up a notch and really disguise those fine lines and pores, while at the same time controlling shine.
In addition, this primer helps nourish the skin with the help of nutmeg extract, which acts as an antioxidant. Although this is not an advertising claim for MagiX Blur, it should also be noted that primer balms in general tend to be good for dry skin in comparison to liquid primers due to the consistency. That said, MagiX Blur does not actively moisturize the skin.
Well there you have it! Does this new Avon primer balm sound like the primer of your dreams? Let us know in the comments!
