Makeup Primer, Instant Age Rewind..Review

Hitting the age of Senior Citizen seems to get younger and younger.  When I turned 50,  AARP, automatically added me to their mailing list.  

Now I am turning 55.  Dark Circles and wrinkles, under my eyes, are getting harder and harder to cover. 

Those dark circles led me to search out a concealer that actually works. I have a drawer full of ones that do not.

 Merle Norman makes one that I am happy with, but, the drawback, it seems to magnify the little wrinkles under my eyes. 

Now I am on a search to find a primer that is, "supposed" , to fill in these lines, thus the concealer and base makeup, can not settle into them, making them even more visible.

Today's review is the Instant Age Rewind, by Maybelline.  In preparation , I cleansed my face, used a light toner, then moisturized.  Then we waited for the moisturizer to soak in completely, at least five minutes. 

Using tiny dots, I then applied  the primer to various places and using a circular motion, completely covered my face.    This leaves your face feeling very very silky smooth, and you wonder if you have used too much. 

Waiting just a few minutes, I then added my concealer, Merle Norman, and then my base, also Merle Norman, that is a powder. 

I will let you be your own judge looking at the photos.  Sorry this is a cloudy overcast day. 

Can you tell which photo is before and which is after?  Not really?  Me Neither!  Can you say , FAIL??
