Living in the South, our heat and humidity can be tough on makeup, but this primer helps everything stay in place much better throughout the day. It’s been especially useful on days she’s in surgery and has to wear a surgical mask for long periods. It helps her makeup hold up better and keeps her skin looking more matte despite the heat and extended mask wear. The added SPF is a nice bonus, making it an easy product to include in her morning routine. If you’re looking for a primer that performs well in hot, humid conditions, this is definitely worth trying. Review: Effective for workouts - I have a hard time finding products that actually help with face sweat, especially during Florida heat and workouts. This one honestly made a noticeable difference for me. The texture is very unique. Almost like a light mousse. It feels airy and smooth instead of heavy or greasy. It spreads easily and blends in fast. It gives a fair amount of coverage too. Not full makeup coverage, but enough to even out skin and make it look better overall. My skin looked smoother and less shiny after applying it. The real test was during an outdoor workout. The photos included were taken after being outside for an hour exercising. I was still sweaty, but compared to not using the Carpe primer, it was definitely an improvement. My forehead stayed more controlled and makeup held up better than usual. I also liked that it did not feel thick on my skin. Bonus points because it came packaged in a really pretty box and felt more high-end than expected. ## Features - NEW MATTIFYING PRIMER - Our matte primer for oily skin is an essential step in your makeup routine for attaining a long-lasting matte finish.
