I purchased the green (anti-redness) primer from this line but found it didn't do much for me. It didn't reduce my redness much at all and felt rather heavy and greasy on my face. It did create a smooth surface for my foundation and it did look flawless but I didn't like the feeling and it caused me to breakout so will probably give it to a friend to try and will not be repurchasing.

I trialed this second hand as a friend had it but didnt like it. She found it too greasy on her skin. I did find it a bit heavy on my skin, but it did give great base coverage and evened out my skin tone and blemishes. My foundation looked great on top of it too. Pretty good price too, and not a bad product but there are better primers on the market.
Tips: If you have a greasy T zone this may not be the product for you.
I bought this product after being dissatisfied with the effects of other water-based primers I'd previously used. I chose the redness reducing primer as I have some post-acne redness in my cheeks. I found that this primer had minimal colour correcting effects, but it did work wonderfully at keeping my foundation looking perfect all day. I have dry skin, and find my foundation can sometimes look patchy, but with the help of this product it didn't. I put it on at 7:30am and it still looked good at 9pm, after a day of work and a fast paced jazz dance class. I'd recommend this to a friend, it works well and is so affordable. Only downfall is not being available in NZ stores but according to their Facebook page that might be changing this year!
Tips: A little goes a long way, too much will cause the foundation to slip. Wait a few minutes for it to settle on the face before putting foundation on.
