Product Test: Mixer by Geri G. Cosmetics

One of the new products I tried from The Makeup Show was by Geri G. Cosmetics.  It's called "Mixer", and it is one makeup product to enhance all of your other makeup products.

It can be used before or mixed with your foundation, blush, eyeshadow, powder--anything and produces a dewy yet matte finish that is water-resistant with titanium dioxide sun protection.  It is hypo-allergenic and also has Vitamins A, C and E antioxidants and natural botanicals in it.  Plastic surgeons and medical doctors as well as celebrities and professional makeup artists have all endorsed this product.  There is also a secret ingredient called Nanomarine-5 that is patent pending so no other product has it.

So with all of that, I decided to give it a go.  I tried it as a makeup primer after moisturizing.  I didn't use a concealer or foundation but instead used a powder foundation and applied it with a brush.  The powder definitely "stuck" or mixed with the product and created the dewy yet matte finish described on the website.  Despite my sweating from being on the packed subway, the makeup stayed quite well throughout the day--definitely better than if I would have just used the makeup alone.
