Catrice Spring Awakening Air Fluff Primer Reviews
Heard the foam primer gets rave reviews, but this one left me feeling pretty meh—no real downsides, just not many upsides either
summarizeEditor's Summary
I picked up the Spring Awakening foam primer because the pastel bottle caught my eye and I wanted to see if the foam texture lived up to the hype. It spreads super fast and feels feather‑light in the hand, drying in seconds. After a full day, though, I didn’t notice any smoothing or glow on my skin. The scent leans toward a mild medicinal note, and the 25 ml size feels a bit stingy for the price. All in all, it’s a decent, quick‑absorbing base if you need something lightweight for the bag, but don’t expect it to be a game‑changing primer.

live_helpFeatured FAQ
Does the foam primer work well on oily skin?
Yes. The fast‑drying, non‑greasy formula helps control shine, making it a solid choice for oily or combination skin types.
How long does one bottle of the foam primer last?
At a light hand, the 25 ml bottle usually lasts about 4‑6 weeks with daily use. Heavy users may need to replace it sooner.
Is the foam texture better than a gel primer?
It depends on your preference. Foam feels lighter and dries quicker, while gel primers often give a smoother, more dewy finish.
Can I use this primer if I have sensitive skin?
The formula is fragrance‑free aside from the mild scent, but if you’re prone to irritation, test a small patch first.
How should I apply the foam primer for best results?
Pump a pea‑size amount onto clean fingertips, then press gently onto the skin and blend outward. Work quickly before it sets.
Does the scent linger after application?
The scent fades within a few minutes, but some users notice a faint medicinal note throughout the day.
Is the primer worth the price compared to larger versions?
If you value a travel‑friendly size and quick absorption, it offers decent value for money, though you’ll pay a bit more per milliliter than bigger bottles.
Can I layer this primer under moisturizer or sunscreen?
Absolutely. Apply the primer first, let it set, then follow with your usual moisturizer and SPF.
Will the cap stay secure in a gym bag or suitcase?
The screw‑on cap is tight and leak‑proof, so you can toss it in a bag without worrying about spills.
Is there any return policy if I don’t like the product?
Most retailers offer a 30‑day return window for unopened items; check the seller’s specific return policy before purchasing.
