I rubbed my eyes a couple of times when I saw this product.
I originally thought this is a concealer - check out the packaging and the shade!
But lo and behold! The name clearly states LIP PRIMER and I knew I have to grab and test this out immediately!
What does a lip primer do?
At the back of my head I was thinking maybe, this helps blur out my pigmented lips and make it more even for lipsticks (especially light nude ones) will appear more even?
Also, I am expecting this product to help keep my lip product stay longer at the same time, keep the lips hydrated all through the day!
With a bit of research on Flomar website, I am right! But the most important thing is, does it deliver?
Flormar Lip Primer Says ---
Lip Primer creates the best base for lip make-up. Thanks to the Vitamin E and panthenol in its formula, it protects the moisture balance of your lips, and make them look smooth. Apply Flormar lip primer to increase the effect of the lipstick prior to your lip make-up..Apply a fine layer of product on your lips before putting on make-up.
AMW says ---
Pros
- Packaging. Clear, make it easier to know how much product is left.
- The applicator is soft and easy-to-use.
- Lips appear more even so it is indeed a perfect base for nude or light lipstick shades.
- Lipstick stays longer.
- Multi-functional, can be used to lighten up any lipstick shade.
- Can be worn alone and still looks good.
Cons
- Will make dry lips appear drier if not prepped properly.
- Not meant to be used on liquid matte lipsticks, will work on certain lipsticks only.
Overall
A nice "base" to cover pigmentation and make lipstick look more even.
Tips
- Best to regular lipsticks if you use this as a base.
- For users with extremely dry lips like I do, it is best to still prep the lips with lip moisturizers or lip balm as this can be drying and can enhance dry lips.
- Best to apply straight from tube and warm up product with clean fingers and blend properly.
- Exfoliate lips prior to application, your lips shouldn't have any dry skin.
Will I repurchase?
Yes.
To whom do I recommend this to?
Those who have uneven colored lips, pigmented lips or anyone who likes to mix and match lip colors.
Where to purchase and how much?
At local Flormar counters (at SM Beauty stores) priced less than Php500.00 (will update exact price once I see them again in store)

I like to apply on my dry lips with "dabbing" motion as to prevent exfoliating my "already dry" lips.
With clean fingers, I like to tap and massage product evenly. Let it sit for a couple of minutes before I apply my preferred lipstick.
I like that I can actually wear this alone as a Nude Lip color!
Have you tried other lip primers or this specific one from Flormar?
Do you have other brand suggestions?
