Best primer I have ever used for longwear at big events or for long work days.
A beautiful smooth, velvet feeling formula. Has a small hint of blue in the undertone that helps colour correct the skin - it's almost not noticeable unless you pay close attention before applying foundation over top!
Helps soften the appearance of pores, fine lines and smooths the skin creating a more flawless base before applying makeup.
Tips: I love the concentrate this through my Tzone area to create a longwear effect that will help smooth larger pores on my nose and chin. That way you're not wasting product all over the face on areas where makeup doesn't wear off quickly anyway.
To be honest, I love this in winter but in summer it is a disaster. The formulation is beautiful, doesn’t feel siliconey (is that a word?) and just sit beautifully over my moisturiser!! But in summer, EVERYTHING just falls off my face !! Makeup starts separating etc. it’s good to use a water based primer with a water based product or vice versa which I did, but still no luck !! I would recommend but just not for oily skin.
I struggle with t zone problems and dry skin elsewhere. I love this primer so much. I use it almost everyday with no problems. It evens out my skin and sets a great surface for me to apply my foundation. Definitely give yourself time in the morning to apply this because it needs to dry a bit before applying your foundation. It makes such a smooth finish! Almost airbrushed, which I love. The price is more than other products but you really do pay for quality. I absolutely love this brand. Fully recommend.
Tips: Use a small amount all over your face. Make sure it dries a bit before adding your foundation.
I've been using this primer for over a year now and would easily rate it one of the best I've tried (and there are plenty!). The texture of your skin after applying this is silky smooth and it helps your foundation to sit lightly without caking. I usually use all day foundations, so I'm not sure if this helps with the foundation sitting nicely all day or not, but it certainly stops the cakiness that you sometimes get later in the day.
Tips: Give yourself plenty of time to apply this and dry before your foundation goes on.
I originally tried a mini of this I got given at Mecca and didn’t like it but when I got given another sample I thought I’d try it again as I’d heard so many people say they loved it. I realised I had been using way too much and that’s why my foundation wasn’t lasting very long. Once I halved the amount I was using my base looked amazing!! It definitely increases wear time and doesn’t leave me looking like a greasy mess. I would recommend powdering down your foundation as it does tend to create a tiny bit of a white caste just with foundation. I’m guessing it’s the spf in it. I always wear sunscreen everyday so I don’t really see any benefits to having it in the primer but some may like it. It is an expensive product but then it’s by Hourglass so it’s to be expected. The only thing I don’t like is that when you get to the bottom it’s really hard to get the rest of the product out. I used some bamboo skewers broken in half and managed to use the rest of the bottle (needs must right) I’ll definitely purchase this primer again as I really love how my foundation looks on top of it.
I love how this product feels on the skin, did help with my makeup application and helped it to last. I have dry/normal skin and sat quite nicely. This product is not a go to for me just because of the price.
This would be my favourite primer. It makes your skin feel so silky smooth. I believe it does extend my makeup and makes it much nicer to put on. I'm not sure about redness though. The only reason I wouldn't 100% recommend is due to the price, but a mini is totally worth it
Works well for blurring and feels very silky going on. Extends wear of make up nicely.
I do find it can be make my skin looking a bit dry and can magnify my fine lines under eyes. Good if you like a super matte finishing
I've been lucky enough to score several samples of this, ranging from sachets to 4.11 ml deluxe samples. I've used it happily and would consider purchasing if I were in the habit of needing primer more often.
I love the packaging on these - the glass jar has a spatula in the lid so you can scoop out what you need - this allows you to scrape the sides which is great!
The primer is a stark white, but that disappears on your skin, leaving behind a smooth, balanced canvas on which to create a makeup look.
I don't feel that this necessarily makes the makeup last longer on it's own, but certainly makes a look smoother and more even. Having an SPF in is an awesome extra layer of security as well.
It's pricey, which is why i've not bought one (that and the myriad samples and things i have to use up, which takes ages because i don't always use primer) but I'd definitely consider it if I needed primer more often
Tips: As with many things I review, you can get this in Mecca, and they will happily do samples. Start there to see if you like it :)
I love this primer, it really does what it says and extends the life of my foundation. I love the silky feel and you don’t need a lot, which is good because it is expensive.
Tips: Sephora sells the mini size - try it, you’ll love it!
