No7 Airbrush Away Primer Review

The Hype

No7 Airbrush Away Radiance Boosting primer helps to give a airbrushed look with its light diffusing properties. Skin is left looking smooth and healthy with a radiant glow.

The Lowdown

No7 Airbrush Away primer has a white creamy consistency which develops into a silky veil highlight once massaged into the skin. I’ve tried quite a few skin primers over the years and feel this is quite unique and something I haven’t seen before.

After applying I let the primer dry then applied my foundation on top with powder to set it. For the purpose of the review I am comparing it with Sheer Cover primer to see how effective the new No7 Airbrush Away Primer is. I used the same foundation and powder on top of both primers for effective comparison. After application on comparison with the No7 Airbrush Away to the Sheer Cover primer, I felt the No7 product had more of a silky finish whereas Sheer Cover was more matte.

Before and After No7 Airbrush Away Radiance Boosting Primer

After several hours I felt the difference between the two primers was minimal. Unfortunately I didn’t have the best light to take the photos but the results are fairly similar. With both primers my forehead looks quite oily and my makeup whilst it’s still visible and hasn’t smudged has lost its vibrancy.

No7 Airbrush Away Primer is not the cheapest primer and whilst my makeup is still visible at the end of the day I was expecting the radiant silky finish to last well into the evening. I was a little disappointed with this especially as it was on the higher end of the No7 price range but the initial radiant effect was quite nice.

I give it:

★★★★

You can try it out yourself for £17.95.
