There is a new buzz in the beauty guru world that there is a new primer taking over and its a mens shaving blam…I know, I know just hear me out.
I recently watched Nikkie Turorials ( an amazing beauty YouTuber) and she swore by the Nivea Mens Post Shave Balm the sensitive formula as a makeup primer. I’m not going to lie I thought to myself there is no way .. so of course I had to give it a shot for myself.
By no surprise Nikkie was right as she always is , this stuff WORKS. The shaving balm has the ingredient glycerin which helps anything adhere to the skin. You will find after you put on the balm your skin feels a little tacky which helps your makeup really stick to the primer and last all day long. The shaving balm doesn’t feel heavy on the skin, it feels like a light moisturizer.
I experimented with this primer by putting it up against my tride and true Nyx Angel Veil primer. I put the NYX primer on my right side and the Nivea Shaving Balm on the left and the Nivea side didn’t budge. My makeup stayed in tact all day long and was fresh and kept any oils on my face at bay. On the other side the NYX side started to fade and become blotchy towards the end of my 6 hour day.
Another amazing quality is the shaving balm is for sensitive skin and alcohol free so it wont irritate or dry your skin out. I know this concept is crazy right? but it’s truly amazing. It works has an amazing primer and is under 10 dollars! If you can get past the initial musky smell (which goes away as soon as you put on your foundation) then head over to your local drug store and scoop this up you wont be sorry!
