Even the tiniest parts of our bodies needs protecting. Our fingernails, elbows and particularly the eyelids.
Benefit, it appears, are well aware of this. The company says the point of their new primer is to “defend your eyelids from unfriendly skies”. In other words from the sun, smoke and all the other horrible air pollutants that can turn your eyelids into saggy witch holes. So Benefit’s BB cream eyelid primer will battle the elements and keep your eyes safe.
Air Patrol contains SPF 20 and it’s supposed to protect the lid and keep it hydrated, hence the title BB cream, you can wear it under makeup to lock on eye shadow, hence the name primer. The colour of the cream is like a yellow based light foundation but when it dries that doesn’t matter, any skin tone can wear it.
Be careful of the amount you apply, because a little goes a long way and you only need to apply one light layer. It dries quickly and really is a good base for shadow, colour goes on vibrantly, lighter shades are enhanced, it sticks and also stays put. This product has a “cushion calm tip” that’s spongy, flexible and soft so there’s no pulling and stretching your delicate lid.
The primer launches in September at €29.50 and will be available to purchase at all Benefit cosmetics counters nationwide.
