An eye primer is a product that had always been on my wish list, but for some reasons I never got around to buy one. Though available in most counters, I have never felt the urge to buy it instantaneously. After major research for good primers in the market, I wanted to try out the Kryolan Eye Primer.
Though I went with a firm decision that I would buy only the eye primer, Kryolan's pricing strategy wooed me and I gave in to the temptation. I finally bought the Face & Eye HD Micro Primer for INR 1000.

I used the Kryolan Eye & Face Primer for my cousin's Wedding & Sangeet function and I did quite like it. Lets read my opinion here :
About Kryolan Eye and Face Primer :

Apply HD Micro Primer alone or under make-up to make it stay put. The incorporated silk protein regulates the moisture level of the skin. HD Micro Primer is paraben-free.

Packaging of Kryolan HD Micro Primer :
The Kryolan HD Micro primer comes in a sturdy square shaped plastic tube with a screw cap.The main container comes in a cream color and the lid is a dark blue.The packaging is very compact and travel friendly since the cap closes tightly and we do not have to worry about spillage. The product needs to be squeezed out from the tube and it is quite similar to foundation container. The smell is quite artificial and strong and would take a while to dissipate away.

Product Consistency and Usage of Kryolan HD Micro Primer :
The HD micro primer is soft and creamy and contains small shimmer particles that vanishes once applied. The consistency is so perfect to work on our skin and it can be smeared easily. I used my fingers to blend it into my skin and it spread out evenly. I used about 3 to 4 drops of the Kryolan HD Micro primer for the entire face and neck, concentrating more on the cheek and nose area.I was pretty impressed by how it created a uniform smooth surface for the foundation and it did make my big pores appear small. I used it even as an eye shadow primer and the results were pleasing.
I was more impressed with the Kryolan HD Micro primer as a base for the face makeup since my foundation lasted for 8 hours without even melting in the Chennai heat. Usually when I use foundation, small cracks begin to appear near my lip area due to the need to constantly smile while greeting guests (I tend to appear like Joker from Batman- The Dark Knight ), but to my surprise I found that it never happened when I used this primer. It did not completely clog the pores or make the skin look oily.It scored a 5/5 here.
As an eyeshadow primer, it intensified the colors a bit more and the eyeshadows stayed in tact for about 7 hours & then began to crease.

After Effects of Using the Kryolan HD Micro Primer :
I was really apprehensive about using this just before my cousin's wedding because I was scared my skin will end up breaking out due to the presence of Silica in this.But nothing of that sort happened and I did not face any kind of skin problems.
